I am a bit of a traditionalist and we go with the red green and gold theme.......he traditional green is gradually being replaced with lime green however as that really pops on the traditonal green tree. oh and I own way way way too many christmas lights...It takes hubby a good few days to set them all up each year.....I can't wait for Christmas this year, my first with my little family...its gonna rock!!
Jodi your tree sounds beautiful! Do you have purple LED lights? I wanted to buy some purple, blue and white ones off ebay but purple and blue just don't 'go' in my lounge room but I think it would look so pretty.
I've ended up going with silver, green, red and gold on my white tree with white LED lights and it's looking lovely so far. So wish the star I have was in silver not gold and I've been trying to think on ways to change it lol I don't think I can though so I might put it on for now until I find a silver one in town next Tuesday
We usually go with a silver base colour and this year the extra colour is going to be a lovely rich purple - found some gorgeous ribbon in my favourite shop that will go on the presents, that's where the inspiration is from. Going to go back to the shop and stock up on more today. Did all the Christmas wrapping I could do on Thursday while DD was with mum, so won't have to do that when the baby gets here. Can't put up the tree until December, though (one of my "rules"!).
thanks cherished
I agree, purple & blue don't go! I don't have purple LED lights, multi coloured. There are some gorgeous silver stars out at the moment. I had silver & purple last year and thought of changing this year, but then everything I saw was purple & silver, so I kept it Might change next year though.
I'm so excited as I just bought all new decorations on Saturday We have a 7ft, classic looking artificial tree and I'm decking it out in lime green and purple with a touch of silver (tinsel and the star on top). We have those groovy LED lights already and they looked great last year.
I can't wait to put it up. Might do it tonight actually!
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
