How to Achieve 5 Classic Christmas Tree Themes

Whether you're looking for classy or casual, these classic Christmas tree themes are sure to please.

The Country Tree

This Christmas tree theme is a family favorite. A tree adorned with handcrafted ornaments, red and green plaid bows, and multi-colored lights fits this theme. A patchwork tree skirt fits nicely with this décor. This tree is often topped with a rustic metal star, a handcrafted angel, or a large plaid bow. If you are looking for a comforting, down home look, this theme is for you.

The Family Tree

A family-themed Christmas tree is a great way to strengthen family holiday traditions. This tree is adorned with ornaments made by the family, as well as family photos and ornaments that commemorate family moments such as the first Christmas in a new home, first Christmas with a new baby, etc. Of course, the best part of a family tree is the tradition of setting it up together and telling stories and memories about each ornament and past Christmases together.

The White Tree

If you are looking for elegance, a white Christmas tree is the way to go. Glass, white, and silver ornaments create a truly classy tree. Accent with many clear twinkle lights. More lights create a beautiful glistening effect on this tree. For a topper, choose a pretty white angel, a shiny silver star, or a sparkly white and silver ribbon bow. White, silver, and blue wrapped gifts look great under this tree.

The Monotone Tree

Trees in crazy colors are making a comeback. If you go to your local home store, you will see blue, red, pick, even black trees. If you are looking for an edgier Christmas, decorate one of these trees with monochromatic ornaments and lights. Your unique tree will definitely be the talk of your holiday party. For a more traditional twist, decorate your traditional green tree with green ornaments and lights, or with another color theme. All red lights and ornaments on a green tree is a great traditional look with a modern twist.

The Traditional Red and Green Tree

You cannot go wrong with red and green ornaments on a Christmas tree. Add a hint of fun with multi-colored lights, or stay on the safe side with clear lights. You can dress it up with sparkly ribbon and fancy ornaments, or dress it down with handmade ornaments and a more modest ribbon. Top it with a star, angel, bow...whatever you desire!
