My Pink Christmas Tree: Feathery Branches, Green Velvet Bows + Warm Lights
The pink tree is up, and I have already had so many of you ask where it is from. So here is everything in one spot. 🎀
The tree
This one is a soft blush pink with feathery, pampas-style branches. It is fluffy, a little whimsical, and it glows when the lights go on.
Out of the box
It arrived folded up in one long box, with the branches tucked against the pole like a closed umbrella. Fluff each branch out one at a time, from the bottom up. That is the step that makes it look full instead of flat, so do not rush it.
Lights first
I added warm twinkle lights before anything else. On a pink tree, warm white lights make the whole thing glow peachy and soft, and they fill in the gaps between the feathers.
Then the bows
This is my favorite part. I used the same long velvet bows from my ivory pampas tree, this time in a rich green. They are tied at the top and left to hang down in long tails. The deep green keeps the pink from feeling too sweet and gives it a classic Christmas feel.
The ornaments
The ornaments are the same ones from my ivory tree too: silver glitter balls and creamy ivory balls. The one change is size. I went from the 6-inch balls down to 4-inch, because this tree is slimmer and the smaller balls fit the feathery branches better.
How I styled it
Pick one contrast color. Rich green velvet makes the pink feel grown-up and still Christmas.
Reuse what you have. Same bows and ornaments as my ivory tree, just a new color and a smaller size.
Size ornaments to the tree. A slimmer tree looks better with 4-inch balls than 6-inch.
Let the ribbon hang long. Long tails look more elegant than small, tight bows.
Use warm lights. Cool white can make pink look gray.
Where it lives
It is tucked in the corner of our dining room, the room my family calls the gathering room. It is where we eat, play Yahtzee, and where I work most days, so I see it all day long. Even a quick lunch at the table feels a little more special with the tree glowing in the background.
Health is wealth. 🤍
