I love decorating for Christmas each year and the Christmas tree is at the top of my list. This year I decided to do two trees. My pretty tree as I like to refer to it and a woodland tree. My "pretty tree" is the perfect combination of elegant and casual with a hint of character. This year I decided to go with traditional red, green, and gold. For this tree I went all out on the top with lots of stems in red and gold and two big red dragonflys that were used for decorations at my wedding. I have a large variety of ornaments( no more than 4 of each) this works great so you don't have to worry about having repeats next to each other. Once the ornaments are on I add in stems and ribbon to fill in where you can't put ornaments.
My woodland tree is a casual tree with very fun unique ornaments. I have done a tree with this theme in the past but this year I added the painted boards and I think they turned out great. There are five boards total and they say Santa, Believe, Joy, HO HO HO, and Noel. I found the boards on sale at a boutique and they were brown and said lemons, apples so I painted them a barn red and then stenciled on the words. I just love how this tree turned out, it has some really unique ornaments that I have collected through the years. Oh and go check out Tip Junkie she is having a Christmas Tree Contest.
