Glittered and Jewelled Christmas Tree + Giveaway

Christmas

I’m loving my new glittered and jewelled Christmas tree this year! Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of the post.Glittered and jewelled Christmas tree- So Much Better With Age

Well something happened this weekend at my house….Christmas happened, that’s what!

Now before you pooh-pooh me that it’s too soon, I’m in Canada so we’ve already had our Thanksgiving earlier in October and Halloween is over so Christmas is fair game.

And I know so many of my US friends decorate for Christmas now too. We really want to give you, our lovely readers, as much inspiration ahead of time as possible.

And with all the work of putting up trees (yes, plural) and decorating, we just want to enjoy it longer.

Sip hot chocolate and snuggle with our kiddos on the couch longer. Because that’s what at a beautiful tree in the room does.

I watched tonight as my kids naturally sat close to it and snuggled in the chairs near by.

And honestly I thought these new ornaments that I received from Balsam Hill would be way too fancy for my home, but they fit right in.

They’re neutral (which is a must for me) but the glitter and jewels off these ornaments just make everything in the room sparkle and pretty.

Let me show off this gorgeous glittered and jewelled Christmas tree.

Do you know what picks are? Have you put them on your tree ever? I haven’t and have seem them just over the past couple of years.

They are basically an ornament you just stick in the tree and have it stick out a bit for dimension.

These magnolia picks are gorgeous and I’m in love with picks now.

The ornaments are jumbo size which fill in the tree so nicely. This set came with 35 pieces and I thought it wouldn’t be enough. I actually had a hard time fitting them all on this tree!

The bejewelled white silk ribbon and glittery ornaments are stunning. I’ve never had such a fancy tree before.

It’s like this tree needs to hold a glass of champagne and wear stilettos it’s so fancy.

I wasn’t sure if the picks and ribbon would go together or be too much but I think they look perfect together.

The combination from a distance is stunning as well.

  7. You’re tree is gorgeous! I agree, it should be wearing stilettos and holding a glass of champagne. Haha! I love all of the sparkle and texture. And I think that tree skirt is my favorite!

  8. Love the tree and the ornaments. I need to look for a new tree this year, and ornaments for it. I’ll be spending more time on the Balsam Hill website!

  20. I loved your tree, it is stunning! I live in Toronto and impatiently waiting for a real tree. Last year we were in
    Asia and didn’t return til mid December and the only tree we found were the flocked trees, to be honest I was not
    keen on getting it but once I got it home and decorated it I feel in love.
    Another flocked tree this year for us!

  33. I never thought about using picks in the Christmas tree. What a great idea! And I love the magnolias. They remind me of my Grandma’s home – 2 big magnolia trees in her yard.

  34. Lovely! I’m not really a glitz sort of person, but this looks really neat! Enjoy the time with family and friends.

  38. Nice that you have already decorated more time to enjoy it. I told my Husband we should do the outdoor lights before the weather gets worse but he wasn’t going for it.

  47. I am impressed with the beauty of the tree noting how few ornaments and decorations were used. That would certainly be more affordable and quicker to decorate.
