Symbolism of Blue and White Christmas Decor.I love to see those navy brush stokes pick up the striped ribbon and gift wrap. I love how they compliment my theme and my gift wrap too. They’re so pretty mixed in with my classics too, don’t you think? They are so beautiful and I love the modern mix they bring to my more traditional decorations. This year, I was very fortunate to be contacted by a truly fabulous artist, Kristen Tirney (see her work here), who sent me these gorgeous hand painted brushstroke ornaments in three color variations – gold on navy, gold on white and navy on white. You may recognize the large navy and gold ornaments – they’ re the same ones I used in my dining room, tied to the backs of our chairs (see it here). The blues are just beautiful against the white, and the gold and silver almost glisten. Definitely not the fake trees of Christmas past! I love the snowy branches and how bright and happy this tree feels in our home. There are so many beautiful choices out there too. There was a time you couldn’t pay me to use a faux tree but now it’s my lifesaver. This is the second year I’m using a ‘faux’ flocked Christmas tree and I am as happy this year as I was last.īeing a blogger and having to put a tree up so early, a real one would never make it all the way to Christmas. Last year, my theme was icy blue gift wrap that compliment mostly neutral metallics throughout our home. You’ll see how I’ve used my color palette and I know you’ll find some great inspiration too ) The gift wrap theme I chose this year is modern, clean and simple – I wanted something crisp and refreshing, I used blue and white, with a focus on white wrapping paper, and navy, striped and tartan ribbon to compliment our decor. If you missed my two previous Christmas posts – Christmas Decorating Tips and A Classic Christmas Tablescape, you can catch them both here and here. I always use metallics and I usually have touches of blue or green, but this year I went full force and am loving it. Navy, gold, silver, with touches of tartan, stripes and light blue are what you’ll find throughout our main living area this season, and being the blue and white lover that I am, I think this is my favorite Christmas theme to date. If you haven’t had a chance to see my inspiration post outlining my theme, you can read all about it right here. My hat goes off to them! That being said, no matter how much work it is, getting it all done so early, allows us to enjoy our home all decked out for the season – everyone is in the Christmas spirit and I’m thrilled that my hubby and kids love our decor this year. This year, I decorated only one tree – I don’t even know how my blogging friends with multiple trees, pull it all off each year. *Affiliate links are provided in this post for your shopping convenience – while I make a small commission on these items, it’s no extra cost to you! FLOCKED CHRISTMAS TREE DECOR You’ll see a few peeks of the living room, but the rest is coming soon! No complaints over here, and although I’m still not ready to share my full home tour I wanted to share our flocked Christmas tree decor. Not to mention the six thousand trips to all of our local shops buying, returning, buying again, returning again, you know what I mean. Ah, the joys of holiday decorating, right? I do love it! I’ve been decorating our home now for about three weeks, maybe even a month and I can finally say I’m finished tweaking and primping, fluffing and twisting, tying ribbon and moving things around the house about 5000 times. How is your decorating coming along? Do you have your tree finished yet? How about your mantel, if you’re decorating one? Your porch and entryway? I finally finished our tree two days ago and have to say I’m exhausted…but I am loving this year’s flocked Christmas tree decor.
