Magnolia Inspired Tree

Close up tree

Hello Blogging Friends!

My Christmas decorating week is off and running. I thought I would share this Magnolia inspired tree I designed for a client.

The tree was originally inspired by magnolia blossoms and some gold ribbon I purchased. I enjoyed seeing the tree transform as I added each element. Magnolia blossoms first, ribbon-ed bows second, largest scaled ornament's third...smallest items last.

Gold bow

I have three different golden ribbons made into bows on the tree. They add a soft elegance and also a great filler for any open areas on the tree that might look bare.
Glass and crystal ornaments adorn the tree for extra shine next to the twinkle lights.

I placed gold netting at the base of the tree, for some extra sparkle!

Angel

I tucked this soft pink and cream vintage angel into the elegant tree. She is a treasured gift that my client adores.

Golden snowflakes are scattered threw out the tree too!

Well, I am off to deck the halls for another client!

See you soon! Until we meet again back here at my blog.

Happy Pink Saturday to all of Beverly's Sweet Friends!!!!!

Stunning!!!Such a beautiful tree - what a lucky client!!I love it!

What a beautiful tree! You are having just too much fun Fa LA LAing all over the place. Your clients are so blessed having such a talented person such as yourself decorate their homes. Do you have time to decorate your own home?
Take care

When you start with magnolia the result has to be fabulous. You've outdone yourself with this beautiful tree.

This tree is stunning. Wonderful inspiration. You should see my pitiful Charlie Brown tree at http://monkeygiggles.blogspot.com

What a beautiful tree. You have excellent taste. Love your blog.

Beautiful tree, Kay! You have the perfect job right now. :)

Wow, decorating trees for a living. I am jealous! Very stylish tree. Great job, I am sure the client was pleased. I hope to have my little 4 foot tree decorated this weekend.

The gold netting is a great idea. We always buy tree skirts and they are always to small or can't be seen once there are gifts on it. The Christmas tree you decorated is beautiful! Happy Decorating.

Really pretty Kay, I love how the tree is so tall and skinny. Can you get over to my house - I need some help!!!

Beautiful Tree Kay!
Wish you lived closer!!!!
