Elegant Spa Blue Entry Christmas Tree & Garlands

 

If you click on my last year’s tour of that Christmas tree, you’ll see my tree just did not stand out as much as it does now.

It was pretty but this year’s ribbon just really makes it pop and gives it that added color it needs.

I also used their Glitter Open Weave Christmas Ribbon, glittered Christmas stems, and Christmas tree flowers as well

They’ve got the most beautiful ornaments, so make sure and check those out.

Note: This is my 12′ Slim Flocked Christmas Tree I’ve had for 3 years now. The trick to get it looking fuller is to dress it with thick ribbon and fill it with a lot of stems and ornaments. I use the two ribbons together and tuck them in the tree and then twist and turn the ribbon and tuck them in again after working my way down the tree a different direction. I tend to go a little zig-zag.

 

Decorators Warehouse has an abundance of beautiful decor, like this lovely glass Christmas tree. I chose the one with a star to add to my collection in my entry and it fit in perfectly!

Tip: I use battery-operated twinkle lights and put them in my little garland with 3-M clear hooks across my entry table below my favorite mirror and also use the lights to go inside my other glass tall and medium trees.

I created a swag across the top of my mirror with left over faux greenery, stems, a bow and wired it together. It’s also hung with 3-M hooks and I threw in some battery-operated twinkle lights on the side and they are easy to reach since they hang off the side and down the back and on the little hook of the mirror where it rests.

 

Ok, Gracie was so cute in front of the tree and she held still long enough (almost) in between escaping out the open front door during my photo shoot and thought it was cute to run around in circles and bark and put on a show for the neighbors haha! She earned her treats. But just behind her, these bags and boxes and wrapping paper matched all my soft aqua perfectly this year right?! It was so fun.

And because I know you’ll ask, and I get asked every year, the sleigh and bells were a fun find years ago from some Christmas gift show. Sorry I don’t have a source for those.

 

The other huge difference between last year’s entry and this year’s entry was the fabulous addition of the most gorgeous flocked pre-lit 9′ garlands that we added to my banisters.

I mean…my jaw was on the floor, friends!!!  I had some others that I bought years ago and they burnt out and they were not half as full and gorgeous. These knocked my socks off and were less expensive. Wow!! you need these!!!

They were so stunning on their own, I didn’t want to detract attention from the tree. So I just added the tinsel ribbon and large bows and skipped ornaments and stems. They’re really fabulous!

I picked up a new twinkling star this year and it really shows off the pretty ribbon from Decorators Warehouse, doesn’t it?!

I love how all this decor ties in with my Framed Hand-painted Chinoiserie Panels in the background.
