Red and Silver Christmas Tree

 It’s Christmas tree day! That’s right, today I’m sharing our main Christmas tree. This year I decided to tweak it a little from last year but still stick with a red and silver Christmas tree. Because neither money, nor Christmas ornaments grow on trees.

And I’ve teamed up with a talented group of bloggers who are also sharing their Christmas homes this week. So definitely scroll all the way to the bottom to see all of the festive mantels and check out your favorites. If you’re stopping by from Town and Country Living, welcome! You can learn more about me here.

Alright, let’s talk about this flocked beauty. I added some more red and silver glass ornaments this year compared to last year. I also swapped out my previous berry branches for bigger berry branches. The flocked branches have been used on this tree for three years now. The tree collar is different. I used this one upstairs on my glam tree last year, but I thought it would be fun to add more sparkle to this tree because it’s the last Christmas before the end of this decade. Leave the teens with a little glitz, you know?

I could barely find any ornaments like these at HomeGoods this year. Last year the shelves were overflowing. Needless to say, I’m glad I scooped up as many as possible last year.

I also decided to tie the Royal Stewart Tartan canvas I made and hung above the mantel into the tree by wrapping some of the gifts with matching tartan paper and ribbon.

The gift wrap is from Ballard and the ribbon is from HomeGoods.

I bought the sparkly tree collar two years ago when it went on sale after Christmas. Unfortunately, I think it’s sold out now.

When I initially decorated the Christmas tree and stepped back, I had way too many red ornaments on it for my liking. I edited it down and removed a handful of them. So yes, there is such a thing as too many ornaments on a Christmas tree.

While I love the red, I’m tempted to try something new next year. I’ve done red for the past three years, so changing things up would be good. But we’ll see how I feel next year.
