Blush & Blue Christmas

Blush Blue Christmas Feature - with Christmas Stockings hanging and sacks placed infront of the christmas tree

We are so excited to share with you our Blush & Blue Christmas Collection.

Blush & Blue is such a beautiful colour palette, the combination of traditionally feminine and masculine tones creates a wonderful contrast. Our Blush & Blue Christmas Collection is next level luxury when combined with rose gold accents. And to keep it fresh we have used white and silver as the base for our florals. It’s perfect for both contemporary or traditional homes, or anyone who loves using rose gold in their decorating (and everywhere else too!).

While we are delighted to introduce you to this stunning collection, we are super excited to share the amazing DIY project that we created especially for this collection. The floral chandelier is an absolutely stunning addition to your Christmas decorating, but could also be adapted for many other occasions. I think you’ll be surprised just how easy it is to make! We’ll get to that a little later.

First, we invite you to settle in as we explore all of the gorgeous pieces that create our Blush & Blue Christmas Collection.

If you’ve already seen and heard enough, and have decided that this is collection for you, you can jump straight to the Blush & Blue Christmas Collection page on our website and start shopping!

 

Beautifully Blush & Blue Christmas Tree

Whenever we are sharing our collections we like to start with the tree as it tends to be the focus when we are decorating our homes for Christmas.

As mentioned above, we have based this collection on white floral bases including this beautiful white tree, however we think it would look lovely on a pink or snow flocked Christmas tree as well.

The Blush & Blue Christmas tree topper that we have made is the epitome of luxury. Starting with a diamonte studded star, we then nestled around it’s base a bow that we made using three different ribbons – reversible navy blue velvet and satin, reversible pink velvet and satin and then a pretty rose gold sequinned ribbon in the centre.  We continued the blue and pink velvet tree garlands through the tree for added colour and texture.

Embellish the tree topper and give an extra level of height and luxury to the tree by adding silver and white sprays at different angles and heights.

We then added oversized baubles to the tree, going from a jumbo 25cm at the base to 15cm at the top. And then a selection of other stunning decorative baubles. There’s a delightful selection of colours, shapes, textures and finishes to create your very special Blush & Blue Christmas tree.

We took the same approach with the flowers. Starting with the largest ones to fill in the wide base and moving up the tree with the flowers graduating in size as we went. There are so many gorgeous colours and textures to choose from.

Contrast the softness of the flowers with beautiful, naturally-inspired (but glittered, of course!) sprays and picks. Floral sprays are a great way out fill out the spaces between your other decorations and give lots of visual interest and texture to the display.

The finishing touches included our 10cm White Glass Personalised Baubles with pastel (and rose gold!) coloured glitter finishes for the calligraphy…

…a selection of delicate tree decorations such as snowflakes and bows, featuring crystals, glitter and sequins…

…and finally a sprinkling of beaded and glittering butterflies & birds for a sense movement to bring the tree to life.

Of course, don’t forget the space under the tree. Add a grey faux fur tree skirt, simple silver and white gift boxes and luxurious velvet personalised Santa sacks, and your Blush & Blue Christmas tree is complete.

Elegant & Luxurious Blush & Blue Dining

Now we all know that no Christmas celebration is complete without a festive table setting. 

We kept the luxury of our Blush & Blue Christmas Collection flowing with a dreamy tablescape. The white and silver frost garland layered over the blue muslin table runner is very neutral and a great base to add birds and butterflies for a touch of colour. You could also arrange a few small glittered table top trees along the centre, either in addition to, or instead of the candle holder and candles.

The simplicity of the garland on the table, is balanced out by the amazing floral chandelier that we made to hang above. This was so much fun and surprisingly easy to make. For the base, we used a white and silver frost wreath that matches the garland, filled it with flowers and then hung pretty finial tree decorations from the centre.  To take it next level, we used a disco, or mirror ball, motor so that it could rotate gently above the table. And there you have it, a completely over the top table centrepiece! You can go to Make and Create: Blush & Blue Christmas DIY Floral Chandelier for more detailed instructions.

The Blush & Blue Christmas collection has a range of table decor options to choose from when it comes to your place settings.  With white and rose gold chargers and silver and champagne napkin rings you can mix and match to create the look you are after. Choose white or neutral coloured candles for a subtle effect, or make a statement with navy.

For an extra personal touch a rose gold acrylic laser cut name placeholder is perfect, and of course a stunning bon bon for a really festive feel.

Now, there is only one thing I love more than Christmas decor, and that is when Christmas decor can be used for other seasonal celebrations or special occasions. It is so easy to change this table for a stunning wedding table or a milestone birthday dinner. The only real difference is to not include the festive bon bons and any table top trees that you might have used. You could also add beautiful bows to the back of the chairs (if you didn’t do that at Christmas).

This collection has it all!

Delightfully Adorned Mantle & Console

The versatility of the Blush &  Blue Collection carries over to the Mantle with this stunning floral garland.  

To get this effect we started with chicken wire and for extra drama we draped it asymmetrically off the mantle.  We then filled it with lots of lovely sprays, flowers, baubles and butterflies. 

To balance it out, these beautiful rose gold stocking hangers and pink and navy velvet personalised stockings sit perfect at the other end with some sparkly cone table top trees. At the base, you could opt to display the matching personalised pink and navy velvet Santa sacks, as opposed to having them by the tree like we showed earlier.

Above the mantle, we have hung our beautiful FREE Blush & Blue Christmas Poster Download. Simply download, print, frame and hang to take your Christmas decorating to the next level. We have over 30 free Christmas download poster designs available on our website, in a huge range of styles and variety of sizes, so you are sure to find just the think to suit your Christmas decorating style.

You might choose to hang a wreath above your mantle instead. A personalised plaque added to your wreath is a beautiful personal touch.

Now whilst this mantle is perfect for Christmas, just like the table, simply remove the Christmas decor and you have a mantle that can be adapted for many special occasions.

 

If you feel like you haven’t quite got enough Blush & Blue Christmas glittery glamour in the space just yet. You can easily extend the theme to a console or side table too.

Reindeer and Santa ornaments and table top trees are all that is needed for a minimal but impactful effect in every corner of the room.
