Woodland Glam Christmas Tree

By Bre

I mentioned in my Christmas Home Tour that I would share more details on my tree, and I’m here today to do just that! My tree really helped spur on the rest of my decor, which honestly it pretty much does every year. I get stuck in christmas paralysis where I can’t really decorate the rest of the house, until the tree is done.

For me, the tree sets the pace, and thankfully I’m not in a Design Star contest with David Bromstad yelling in the background “TIMES UP!!”. For me it’s a process, just like in decorating anything else. I start thinking, I get a vision, I start collecting, start installing, and BAM vision comes to life. This year I was craving a little extra oomph to my ‘Pinecones & Mercury Glass’ theme from last year, and I was quite pleased with the outcome.

Of course I wanted to add more deers this year. After seeing my free christmas printable, you had to have guessed I had deers on the brain. So that got the ball rolling in the woodland department. As much as I adore those cute little owl and squirrel twig ornaments I wasn’t 100% sold that was the direction I wanted to go. However I did love the idea of incorporating some grapevine to highlight the woodland feel. The only problem is grapevine garland proved hard to find. Then I saw this beauty, and the wheels started turning. Surely I could deconstruct the wreath and wrap it around my tree?! Well the wreath was so pretty when it arrived I contemplated it, for 2 days!!! I finally got up the courage to tackle it, at 5:30 at night, when naturally is the time you feed your kids dinner ( I don’t know why my 2nd wind of project mode comes into play then, but I promise you my kids did have something for dinner that night!). I know what you are all thinking, did it just magically unroll? Not quite. There was a lot of cutting involved, a huge mess of debris tangled in my jute rug,
 but there was success.

 

I did say my theme was “Woodland Glam”, I love mercury glass, and all things shiny. I used sparkley pinecones, and champagne and silver colored ornaments throughout the tree.

 

 

I found three little white deer heads at Joanne’s, and they even shimmer!
I alternated the grapevine garland with this beautiful ivory and burlap ribbon from Save-On-Crafts. 
I was SO impressed with the quality. I’ve seen similar ribbon at other store before, but not the nicest made. This ribbon was so soft it almost felt silky, and had just a hint of wiring too it, so it fell naturally, but could hold a bend if I needed it too. Me thinks I must stock up for next year!

 

Not to mention it ties in perfectly with our Angel! She has a very soft burlap dress that has a silver sparkle over the whole thing. She was a gift from my mom a few years ago. And secretly I kinda love that she has brown hair, because that’s my natural hair color too! Odd the things we relate with 🙂 I am in no way an angel. But my kids think I am, so that is super sweet!

    Your tree is so beautiful! Had already pinned it to my Christmas board, but thank you for the detailed look. Mercury glass makes my heart sing! And the washtub is the perfect touch. Don’t you love using ornaments with the memories.

    This is just the most beautiful tree! All your effort with the twigs paid off it looks fantastic! I can totally relate to getting that burst of motivation at the wrong time! Mine is usually around midnight!
