Dreaming of a White Christmas

Dream Christmas - Coastal Living

 

♫♪ I'm dreaming of a White Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow . . . ♪♫

 

 

 

 

Christmas and snow go hand in hand; but what if you live at the beach or one of the many warm parts of the world where snow is a rare or not even remotely possible occurence?  I must admit that I miss the snow a bit living near the shores of the Pacific Ocean.  My need for the snowy stuff assisted in putting together this collection of  "White Christmas" trees and decorations which provide that needed "snowiness" that I was missing.

 

A flocked "White Christmas" tree sits atop a pedestal table. The branches are textured and have a snowy effect. By displaying it on a table it makes it more of a focal point. We love the branches displayed in the corner; which add a natural effect to the entire display.

Take a "White Christmas" tree and dress it in a silver and gold color combination for an elegant effect.  Metallic ornaments combined with twinkling white lights creates a simple tree but still has a nice bit of sparkle.

Add a touch of whimsy to your "White Christmas" decor with an artful arrangement of ornaments. A silver-robed St. Nick and glittering reindeer were added to glass balls on branches and a dusting of faux snow...it makes for a beautiful snowfall vignette.

All white ornaments on this Christmas tree are combined with white-wrapped presents decorated with gold and silver ribbons for a bit of dazzle.  By using a neutral pallet throughout it pulls everything together for a dreamy "White Christmas" feel.

A white mantel is accented with "beachy" sky blue and chartreuse ornaments of glass. Tree branches were painted white and leaves dusted with silver for an elegant vignette.
