I got out of my comfort zone for this year’s Michaels Dream Tree Challenge! Not only did I use flowers, I used PINK flowers. I have NEVER decorated a Christmas tree with pink! Let alone, flowers. Until this year. And it turned out amazing! I was shocked at how it all came together so well. See what you think of my Pink + Gold Floral Christmas Tree!
Pink and Gold Floral Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree challenged me and I loved it. It is very feminine and pretty. Which makes me think this baby is a girl! {I am due any day now with baby #4.} I have always been a traditional kind of girl when it comes to Christmas trees. So I was totally surprised when I fell in love with the pink Christmas florals at Michaels this year.
When I went to Michaels to figure out what theme I was going to do for this year’s Dream Tree Challenge, I saw these GORGEOUS pink peonies {below} and I knew immediately I had to use them! The pink peonies were the inspiration for my tree this year.
Floral Christmas Tree
Aren’t these pink peonies perfection?!! The beads and glitter dress them up and make them perfect for a Christmas tree.
I used two different pink floral stems on my Pink and Gold Floral Christmas tree.
Michaels sent me a 9 foot willow tree that I absolutely love. The shape is perfect. It’s more tall and skinny vs short and fat and I love it! And it has the coolest feature. The electrical is run down the center of the tree so you don’t have to dig around and find the dang plugs for each section to plug into each other. I simply assembled the 3 sections and plugged it in at the bottom and ta-da! The whole tree lit up. And for the record, I put this tree up while 8.5 months pregnant. It’s super easy to set up!
I balanced the soft, feminine flowers with some antlers picks. This was another item I was very iffy about. I wasn’t sure how they’d look on a Christmas tree. But oh my goodness, they look amazing! I love how they stick out and add some subtle masculinity to the tree.
I couldn’t come up with a good tree topper to fit this over-the-top Christmas tree, so I decided to use a Merry Christmas banner to be the focal point for my tree this year. I feel like it was the perfect cherry on top and no topper was needed. It’s a bare wood banner I found in the Christmas section at Michaels. I strung it with gold bakers twine, but you can’t really see the twine.
Michaels has their largest tree assortment this year, including colored and flocked trees. Check out all of their trees, ornaments and coordinating holiday décor on Michaels.com
