Help! What color ribbon?




















Help! It's crazy - I do this for people all the time, but right now I'm blank when it comes to my own tree. I like to wrap the tree with lights around the inside trunk. It looks like it's illuminated from the inside. Then a second wrap of lights on the outer edges of the limbs. A few silver icicles... maybe... always adds a shimmer to the lights. Or maybe not(smile). Help.

A neighbor had a huge hydrangea with dried blossoms - did I want them? I'm not sure I even hung up the phone, before running out the door to get them! I really didn't want to deal with ornaments this year. Maybe one or two placed in baskets or as stand alone focal point/arrangements... but not on the tree. But I'd like your help with one final element and then the tree will (finally) be done. What color ribbon should I use? I love making bows or using it for garland. Solid, plaid, stripe, I'm game!

  1. Red would wokr well with those dark red things, and baby blue with the dry flowers :) Maybe gold with both? Love the window!

    1. Maybe your signature green would be nice.
      My window is huge! 10 feet, 2 inches wide; 4 feet, 2 inches tall.
      Thank you!!!

  2. You've got plenty of solid red and gold on the tree now -- so I'd go for a plaid ribbon that combines those colours? Alas, I am no decorator!

    1. Lots of solid, I agree. I do have a jazzy sheer ribbon that has lime green and red stripes. But I too favor the plaid. Maybe take the sheer and the plaid, twist them together... Oh I'm not a decorator either... I do craft work and I can make bows!! Thank you Debra!

  3. My suggestion would be a burnt puce. Or Barbie pink. No, I'm kidding, I'm absolutely terrible with colors. I would be the last person you want to ask.
