A fresh and elegant take on the traditional red and green Christmas tree is on tap for 2021! These ideas will hopefully inspire you as your decorate for the holidays.
Elegant Christmas Tree Ideas For 2021
Hello, friends! It’s that time of year again where we start thinking about Christmas decor! I know it’s a little bit early for some but my job is to offer inspiration and ideas for you for when you're ready to decorate.
This year I'm taking a more elegant approach to the traditional red and green Christmas colors by opting for dark green velvet and deep burgundies. I love how it turned out. As fun as other colors are, red and green really just epitomize Christmas, right?
This tree is the 6ft Prince Flocked Tree from King of Christmas. This is the third Christmas we've put this tree up and the flocking is still holding up great. My favorite thing about this tree is that it's so thick and full. I can put the three sections together and have the entire thing fluffed in about thirty minutes. If you've ever had an artificial tree before, you know that fluffing and primping the branches is essential to making it look realistic and this tree doesn't require much.
Of course, every tree looks its very best when it's all lit up. There's nothing better than the warm glow of a Christmas tree in the evenings when you're cuddled up on the couch. Even when it's only the beginning of November!
Isn't the green velvet ribbon the best? It was my inspiration for the whole look and I knew it would be perfect with those rich burgundy ornaments.
Before you go, I also want to share this amazing flocked wreath with you. While it's currently inside my front door, it will eventually go outside - when there's less chance of my neighbors thinking I've really gone crazy. Decorating inside in November is one too, but outside will be left until after Thanksgiving!

I always decorate our tree with burgundy, gold and greens. I do have a lot of one of a kind and rustic ornaments, but my colors never change. That combination just takes my breath away.

it's a classic color combo!

So beautiful! I bought the same exact tree from King of Christmas last year for my formal living room and I just had a baby so I didn't have any energy to decorate it anything more than lighting it and throwing in some pine cone picks (still looked nice even though it was quite plain). My vision was to decorate it this year with dark green and deep red/burgundy ornaments - exactly like yours. So crazy that today as I'm searching for the perfect ornaments I come across your post! Would you mind sharing where you purchased the burgundy faceted/carved ornaments? Thanks so much!

Thank you! The ornaments on the bowl were from HomeGoods a few years ago but they usually have similar every year

Beautiful! I bought the same exact tree from King of Christmas to be my formal living room tree last year but I just had a baby and didn't have enough energy to do anything more than light it and throw in some pine cone picks (still looked beautiful). I had the same vision as you to decorate it this year with dark/deep green and red/burgundy ornaments. Here I am searching for ornaments today and I find your post with the exact same tree! Would you mind sharing where you purchased the faceted/carved burgundy ornaments that are in the bowl? Thanks so much!

Your tree is absolutely beautiful. My very first Christmas tree was decorated in gold and burgandy. I had to buy most of the ornaments new to add to my heirloom decorations that I took with me when I moved out of my childhood home. I went to a wholesale floral supply house to get everything all at the same time. So it made it very easy to have a color theme. They lasted for several years, then it eventually morphed to red and green, because burgandy was difficult to find for a spell. I will just enjoy your stunning tree for now~
