Winter White Wonderland: Holdiay Decorations for the Home

Christmas is right around the corner which means holiday festivities galore!  If your wishing for a white Christmas (like most of us are) but aren't confident that Santa can grant you such a wish, then I have a solution for you.  With a few winter white decorations, you can easily transform any living space into a personal winter wonderland with a few easy decorations. 

If you love the look of trees dusted with fresh snow, then  white Christmas tree may be the right fit for you.  White Christmas trees have been gaining much popularity over the past few years, and they are quickly becoming a Christmas staple for people who enjoy a modern take on the winter season.  White Christmas trees give you many options; you can dress the tree in all white decorations and lights, like the tree to the left for a sophisticated Christmas look or add a splash of color to your blank canvas of tree with single-color accents like the tree at the bottom left has done with the teal decorations.  Another option is to decorate your white tree with multi-colored ornaments and tinsel, for a fun take on a tree, like the one below.

  

Another way to add a touch of winter white to your holiday home decor is by using inexpensive white Christmas balls.  Pick out a collection (about 12) white Christmas ornaments that  you particularly enjoy (it's best if they don't all match!) and arrange them in a clear tall, wide vase for a beautiful centerpiece or decoration that you can place throughout your home.  This simple decoration looks great on fireplace mantles, book shelves, as a centerpiece on the dining room table, and anywhere else in your house that you can think of using it.  To add more interest to the piece, feathers, pearl strands, tinsel, and smaller Christmas ornaments would all make for great details to add to the piece, as seen in the picture above.  Accenting the piece with colored feathers, ornaments, or tinsel would also be a fun way to jazz up the look.

 

 If you're into more organic decorations, then a winter white floral arrangement is the perfect option for you.  Depending on the amount of money that you want to spend, will determine the types of flowers used.  Simply buy any white flowers that you choose and arrange them nicely in a white or silver vase.  For more of a wintry feel, add filler snow branches (twigs sprayed with fake snow) and small Christmas ornaments.  If you do not want to arrange the flowers yourself, these arrangements can easily be ordered at your local florist.be

 I hope that these decorations provide you with new and innovative ways to turn your home into a winter wonderland!  Happy holidays!! :)
