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!
Dried Hydrangea blossoms
Red geraniums
Pine scented pine cones
My camera is not working so this is the closet visual I can get you...
Red would wokr well with those dark red things, and baby blue with the dry flowers :) Maybe gold with both? Love the window!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your signature green would be nice.
DeleteMy window is huge! 10 feet, 2 inches wide; 4 feet, 2 inches tall.
Thank you!!!
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!
ReplyDeleteLots 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!
DeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteDon't sell yourself short - I did the Barbie pink 7 years ago. Burnt puce? Lemme think on it :)
DeleteAll colors of ribbon! Go wild. Set yourself free.

If I get any freer, I'll die from Exhaustion. (smile.)
DeleteLime green and red stripes...
ReplyDeleteWell...I am glad that is settled!
Cheers!
