Styling your Nordic Christmas Village Tree

For the Nordic Christmas Village Collection, we’ve used a Pre-Lit Snow Flocked Fir Christmas Tree. It’s the perfect starting point to create a wintery feel. We topped the tree with a simple antique gold metal star tree topper.

Next was to added some naturally inspired texture among the greenery and branches. We nestled pieces of grapevine, as well as a selection of pine and berry sprays around the tree. You could use any type of rustic twig or natural look sprays or branches that you have on hand to create a similar effect. Hints of glitter bring a touch of sparkle, reminiscent of snow shimmering in the sunlight.

Then we layered the tree with lots of beautiful flowers in a variety of shapes and sizes in a colour palette of green, brown, beige and cream. We suggest starting with the larger flowers at the base and working your way up the tree with the smaller flowers at the top.

The varying tones of flowers provide the perfect background for the tree decorations that range from natural wooden snowflakes to champagne glitter onions decorative baubles and everything in between. We’ve also included our 10cm personalised glass bauble in a pearl finish with chocolate glitter, they are the perfect combination for this collection.

It wouldn’t be a true forest-inspired tree without a selection of gorgeous butterflies and birds nestled among the branches.

And finally, any Christmas tree display is not complete without the finishing touches at the base. We have used a burlap and white fur tree skirt as well as a personalised Santa sack. The white fur and burlap and forest green velvet sacks both perfectly suit this collection. 

Large ornaments, such as antique gold bells, and co-ordinated gift packaging fill the space perfectly.

Delightful Dining at a Nordic Christmas Village Table

The table we have created for our Nordic Christmas Village collection is simple, yet warm and inviting.  

We’ve started the table with a crushed linen tablecloth and then run a mixed evergreen eucalyptus garland straight down the middle. Embellish the garland with the addition of a few glitter pinecones and large flameless candles.

The wooden plinth is a beautiful way to display the pair of white earthenware house and church tea-light ornaments and the battery operated candles are a safe and convenient way to bring that pretty flicker of candles to the table. Alternatively, add a splash of green on top, with table top trees.

The understated warmth is continued in the table decor pieces. A burlap placemat and rattan charger are layered with an organic shaped dinner plate and sage green side plate which are the perfect backdrop for our wooden names and a napkin ring with a touch of greenery.

And of course for a final festive feel, we have to have gorgeous bon bons to add a little bit of glamour.

Nordic Christmas Village Charm on the Cabinet Display & Console

We love to include Personalised Christmas stockings in all of our collections. We think they’re such a beautiful tradition for the whole family on Christmas morning and a wonderful way to decorate too.

Now we normally see stockings hung from a mantle, but not every home has a mantlepiece, so here we have a great alternative. We have hung a pair of burlap stockings on the door of this cupboard and decorated the shelves inside with table top trees and fur trimmed reindeer ornaments.

No Christmas decor is complete without a wreath. There are so many great ready-to-go wreath options, but there is nothing quite like creating your very own wreath to suit your home and your chosen decorating theme. 

We have prepared a gorgeous DIY Nordic Christmas Village Wreath to share with you. Go to Make and Create: Nordic Christmas Village Wreath for step-by-step instructions. We think it looks perfect hanging from the cupboard, but of course you can hang in on your front door or any other place around your home.

To finish off this wintery, Nordic inspired cupboard, we draped snow-flocked garland across the top of the cupboard, added pinecone trios hanging from the other door and then nestled antique gold bells in the shelves.

Finally, the main shelf and drawers provide even more options for decorating every available space – more garland, table top trees, flowers and reindeers are just the thing here.

A console is another great option for decorating and hanging your stockings, as well as lots of other delightful decorations. Our gorgeous range of stocking holders bring a touch of gold glamour to the natural green and ivory colour of the stockings.

A set of gold bird cages and more beautiful reindeer nicely tie the space above to the floor display below. Table top trees fill the remaining space.

Lastly, spread a joyful Christmas message, and enhance your decor too, with a FREE Nordic Christmas Village Poster Download. Simply print, frame and put in place. It’s a super simple way to add instant impact to your Christmas decorating.
