A few months ago I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Decorator's Warehouse in Arlington, TX. It was truly like stepping into a Christmas wonderland! Lights were twinkling everywhere, and themed Christmas trees were decorated to perfection!

I met with Kristen, whose family has owned Decorator’s Warehouse for years, to pick out items to decorate a themed Christmas tree as part of the Home for the Holidays Christmas Tree Challenge with Decorator's Warehouse. #DWChristmasAtHome.

I knew I wanted to go for a regal look with luxurious Christmas ribbon and Christmas flowers adorned with silver and gold ornaments. I have always loved silver and gold trees and when I saw the navy flowers at the Decorator’s Warehouse store, I knew instantly I wanted to combine the two looks of silver and gold with navy accents to create an elegant Christmas tree with lots of sparkle and shine!

My love for elegant Christmas trees started when I was a little girl and frequently visited Macy’s department store on 33rd street in Manhattan, NYC. I remember being in awe of all the large shining Christmas ornaments, lights, and stunning ribbon. The department store felt like a palace.
Drawing upon those memories, I used silver, gold, and navy to bring my regal Christmas tree to life!✨

To get started, I made fourteen clusters (groupings) with one flocked and champagne crabapple spray, a poinsettia stem and white Christmas flower. I then wrapped the stems around each other to secure them. Next I applied my navy blue velet Chrstimas ribbon in 2 ½ feet strips throughout the tree and added the larger balls. I placed in two different types: The Silver/White Christmas ornament and the 15 CM Glitter ball. After that I added tree different types of flowers - two white and one navy blue, along with a small navy blue ornament for an addition pop of the navy blue color. I also added the crystals to give the Christmas tree an extra dose of glam! The final step was to add several different sparkle sprays.

To simply:

Make clusters.
Add ribbon to Christmas tree.
Add two different types of large ornaments.
Add four types of flowers and small ornaments.
Add sprays to fill in any gaps or holes.

I’m super excited to be a part of a Christmas blog hop with so many talented ladies, as they share some wonderful Christmas inpiration! Follow the links to their blogs below.

Even before there was social media, I knew I wanted Christmas in my home to feel magical. When I was young, I remember my mother spending days, every year, decorating for Christmas. She would trasform the entire downstairs into a whimsical, magical, Christmas land. I remember when I was in college, I couldn’t wait to come home to such a festive house. So when I started having my own children I knew I wanted the same type of atmosphere to surround my family.

Over the years I’ve discovered three easy budget friendly decor items to help make your home magical for the holidays.

First is lighting! I put Christmas lights everywhere! I buy short strands of lights at Target or Amazon and place them on console and entryway tables. I also put them in all my garlands, wreaths, and coffee table decor! I also add a bunch of candles. In years past I’d use real ones, but now I opt for the LED battery operated, remote control candles.

These wooden candlesticks are a staple for decorating! You can get them here.

Another key piece I use to make Christmas shine is plastic Christmas balls. You can buy them in bulk making them pretty inexpensive. I always mix silver and red ones, in all different textures. Foe example, I use red and silver glitters ones, matte ones, ones with designs, and balls in all different shapes and sizes. These shine when the light hits them - making them sparkle. It is so easy, I just dump them into glass vases or jars, and display them all around the house. They look so glamorous, festive and fun! You can also tie ribbon around the glass for an added color!

You can find these beautiful velvet quilted stockings here.

I recently purchased this sofa table and LOVE it! You can find the sofa table here.

Which brings me to my other decorating necessity: ribbon. I but new ribbon every year, but never throw old ribbon away, unless it’s worn out. Ribbon is another super economical way to add Christmas flair to everything! You can tie ribbons on candlesticks, packages, jars, stockings, pretty much anything! I use a lot of different ribbon on my Christmas trees, and I love to mix and match different patterns to create interest. I often use Christmas ribbon along with regular ribbon that you can find in sewing or fabric department at the craft stores. Before purchasing, I always make sure I have a store coupon or wait until ribbon goes on sale - with crafts stores, you should never have to pay full price!
