We have a *very* big box of decorations, so every year I only use a selection of ornaments, etc, for a particular colour theme.
Last year it was Pink pink pink (and a tiny bit of silver) because of the breast cancer theme.
But this year, DD and I saw a lovely display in one of those luscious homewares shop, they had a white tree, and colours were light blue, lime green and sparkly white. So I'm going to rummage around in the box and see if you can do that this year.
What will your colour scheme/theme for Christmas decorating be this year?
I am going red and white - inspired by a gorgeous tree and wrapping paper at spotlight - I have got a lovely striped paper, a reindeer red and white paper and another star one - drool! I have also bought a large red and white check fabric which I will make some hand made deccys out of.
We never have a colour theme but my Dad is the master of the improvised tree. Since we so often spend Christmas away from home he's an expert at decorating old branches/driftwood/artificial palms etc. Usually with whatever is at hand.
last year i did red and green, mainly for DH as it was his first year without his mum and they always did red and green, i have silver from the year before. so il probably do red and silver this year. my friend had bright blue last year and a black tree, i hated the sounds of it, but she made it look awesome!
Perhaps it reflects my life, but our tree is generally colour filled and a little chaotic with a few paper chains and homemade fimo decos from my childhood thrown in!
I love the blue silver look and have always admired a nice tree though!
We were talking about this at work today. My Christmas theme is always PINK! I'm going out on Sunday and buying a black Christmas tree. I'm sooo excited.
I've purchased a new white christmas tree which is only 150cm tall so it'll fit nicely in our house. I also purchased white LED lights and they arrived today so are on the tree as I type. I'm waiting until tomorrow to decorate it with dh and bub even though he wont remember a thing it's still our 1st christmas as a family I'd like to decorate in silver but I have heaps of hand made beaded/sequen (sp) decorations which I love and they are multicoloured I will put them on and see what I think tomorrow.
Ours tends to be a mish mash colours. I have decorations I have purchased from OS from Kath Woelfhart and have a place in Melbourne's CBD that sells beautiful glass balls and decorations. I also have one's the kids have made and I try to buy a new one or two every year
We put ours up on monday night cause it was my dads anniversary. This year I went with silver, lime green and white.....Looks gorgeous but I am having difficulty finding a angel or star that I like in silver.....Normally the tree is red and gold.
My gran always did a really classic awesome tree but my mum isn't a huge Christmas fan so always did a cheapy gritty bargain basement tree. So a few years ago I splashed out and bought a really nice 182cm black tree and we decorate with blue and silver ornaments and tinsel, blue LED star lights and a silver star for on top. I love having a "professional"-looking tree lol
