Are you having a blue Christmas?
Maybe you have heard Cecily Strong or Austin Butler singing Blue Christmas on your Christmas tree song list, but did you realize you can make magical in your home as well? Blue is a gorgeous Christmas color with depth, and can be easily paired with silver, gold, green, white, or any metallic color for stunning results…
Suddenly, you have a fresh new modern Christmas trend fitting for 2023 and fresher than classic red and green.
Here is how we made this tree trimmed in Blue really shine…
1. Blue and Metallic Pairings
We carefully selected ornaments and decorations that incorporated shades of blue and metallic accents. By combining different shades of blue, such as navy, royal blue, and icy blue, with silver, gold, or other metallic colors, we created a visually stunning and harmonious color palette. The metallic elements added a touch of glamour and sophistication to the tree, while the varying shades of blue created depth and dimension.
2. Textures and Patterns
To add interest and texture to the tree, we incorporated a variety of ornaments with different textures and patterns. From glittery snowflakes and sequined baubles to velvet ribbons and satin bows, we mixed and matched textures to create a visually dynamic and captivating display. The interplay of different materials and patterns added depth and visual appeal to the tree, making it truly eye-catching.
3. Sparkling Lights
We enhanced the magical ambiance of the blue Christmas tree by strategically placing sparkling lights throughout the branches. The soft glow of the lights intertwined with the blue ornaments created a mesmerizing effect, evoking a sense of enchantment and wonder. Whether using traditional white lights or opting for blue or multi-colored ones, the twinkling lights brought the tree to life and added a touch of holiday magic.
By combining the right color palette, incorporating textures and patterns, and adding sparkling lights, we transformed this blue Christmas tree into a showstopper. The result is a fresh and modern take on holiday decor, embracing the 2023 Christmas trend of a Blue Christmas.
