christmas tree – Christmas Decorated http://christmasdecorated.com Fri, 29 Nov 2013 09:39:55 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.11 Christmas Tree Alternative – Towering Branches With Glass Decorations http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-tree-alternative-towering-branches-with-glass-decorations/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-tree-alternative-towering-branches-with-glass-decorations/#respond Wed, 20 Nov 2013 06:44:55 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=658 Christmas tree alternative - towering branches with glass decorations

A stunning idea for a Christmas tree alternative: Spray pain tall branches white, insert into a urn or large flower pot (In this case also white) filled with sand. Cover the sand with florist’s moss (available in craft stores) and then hang an abundance of beautiful glass Christmas ornaments from the branches.

In the photo featured here, a monochromatic look was created for this display (to complement the color scheme in the rest of the room), by matching the white branches to the white pot, and staying away from colors for the ornaments in favor of silver and antique gold.

A Christmas tree alternative like this is a fabulous option  if you are opting for Christmas trees in multiple rooms of your home and you want to try something a little different from the ordinary in one of the rooms. But,  of course,  there’s nothing to say that you can’t go this route if its the only Christmas tree in the house – why not dare to be a different this year and show your guests that you’re a style leader.

Christmas Table Decorations – Vintage Glam http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-decorations-vintage-glam/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-decorations-vintage-glam/#respond Sun, 09 Dec 2012 07:39:25 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=626 Christmas Table Decorations - Vintage Glam

“Vintage-Glam” idea for Christmas Table Decorations from BHG. “The key to any glitzy Christmas table is pops of silver and pink. A small silver tree atop a glass compote makes room for wrapped favors below. Vintage ice cream dishes make wonderful vases filled with pink ranunculus. For festive flair, wrap napkins with silver and pink ribbon and tuck them between mismatched dinner plates. Dainty crowns sitting on the plates fly flags touting seating arrangements.”

Tabletop Chistmas Tree at White House - 2012

The Obama’s love their dog Bo, who joined their family shortly after they moved into the White House.  Their Christmas decor for 2012 includes not just one but SIX hand-made decorative replicas of Bo! If you were to be so lucky as to go for a stroll through the White House this Christmas, you’d never know where Bo would turn up.  Incorporating Bo into their Christmas decor shows the Obama’s love their their furry family member, and their sense of whimsy and humor.  This version of Bo, shown above,  is crafted from plastic pom-poms!

The intimate family dining room at the White House where just the family gathers. The Obamas have been criticized by the opposing party this year for putting up too many Christmas trees, however, there are only a few more than the Bush’s typically had when they were in the White House.

Christmas Tree Decor – Purple, Pink, Blue http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-tree-decor-purple-pink-blue/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-tree-decor-purple-pink-blue/#respond Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:29:40 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=523 Christmas Tree Decorated in Purple, Blue, and Pink Decorations

Colorful Christmas Tree Decor packs a powerful visual punch, especially when you combine purple, pink and blue (with gold accents). What a striking color combination, and it looks fabulous on a Christmas Tree.

The gold accents are really essential. They add that necessary bit of glam that really makes this look pop. We love the way the toss pillows on the sofa coordinate with the Christmas tree decorations so perfectly.

The candle arrangement on the cocktail table is so pretty and such a perfect match for the tree. A silver and gray feather weather encircles three candles –  two ivory pillar candles of differing heights and a shorter gold pear shaped candle. A few pine cones are lightly sprayed gold and added around the wreath for festive embellishment, along with some elongated decorative glittered gold leaves.

Then pink and purple glass balls are positioned around the wreath for that powerful punch of color.

And for the perfect Christmas Tree topper – purple, blue and gold feathers spraying up from the top of the tree.

This color combination has definite feel good factor. Makes you want to steal this Christmas tree decor idea for your tree, doesn’t it?

Chrismtas Tree Decorating Ideas – Purple, Blue, Gold http://christmasdecorated.com/chrismtas-tree-decorating-ideas-purple-blue-gold/ http://christmasdecorated.com/chrismtas-tree-decorating-ideas-purple-blue-gold/#respond Thu, 22 Nov 2012 07:54:02 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=167 Christmas Tree Decoration Ideas - purple, blue, gold

Large Christmas tree decorations in primarily purple, blue, and gold look amazing on this tree. Note how the decorations pick up the blue and gold color palette from the existing room decor, making it work so well with the room. The purple is added for a little extra pop, and it works!  We also love how the extremely oversized decorations are scaled to the large size of the tree, which really plays up its grandness and impressively imposing size.
