Winter Wonderland: Christmas & weddings

My favorite holiday looks are winter wonderland themes because of the branches, creating snow with luxe fabric like faux fur, illuminating candlelight, crystals and acrylic for ice. I put together a few collages with affordable pieces to create the scene in your home from stores like my beloved pier1 & Z Gallerie.

Color Schemes: Purple & Pink Christmas Holiday decor…

I had a conversation on twitter about the chance that a purple and pink tree could turn out tacky. Frankly, depending on how it’s decorated, any tree regardless of hue can become tacky. So here is a round of inspiration in a non traditional scheme that’s sure to make any girl happy. Above, I adore the display of cards on ribbon with ornaments and the ornaments and candles over the mantle. Simple easy decor ideas…

Tree decor design tips: Use beads (think Marti Gras) or ribbon instead of garland, use different sized bulbs to create more dimension, and instead of a star, use foliage and glittered branches at the tops of the tree…

I prefer ribbon a little differently but the hues are still pretty…

White Christmas trees and multi-hued ornaments…

I used to HATE white trees with a passion. I loved the kind that looks like snow fell on them but solid white trees? I’d pass. However I do like the way these are decorated. Do you like white trees or prefer green?

I’m not even really into super busy print wallpaper though my friend who loves butterflies may like this. I DO however love the mixture of patterns like greek keys and chevron. So fun! And the gifts wrapped with real ribbon…love it. Plus the python print tray and silhouette pillows are all on my fab list. Though I prefer my tree to be filled with ornaments, I do like how hers pick up all the colors of the space. Matching your tree with your home decor makes it aesthetically pleasing to the eyes…

Sidenote: Christmas is my favorite holiday but I don’t want to turn this blog into a Christmas blog so holiday post will be about, 2 or 3  a week. Interior design will still remain number 1 ;-)
