My White Gold Christmas Tree: Handmade Ornaments & Cozy Holiday Magic
There she is.
Twinkling. Waiting.
Our white gold Christmas tree, finally upright in the living room. I’d been putting off this moment all week. Why? Because decorating the tree is always the final, and most magical, piece of the holiday puzzle.
Lots of handmade ornaments in white, silver and gold make this my favorite Christmas tree ever.
This year, I went for a white, silver and gold Christmas tree. The classic cozy and magical combination of gold, silver, and white gives the tree a warm, elegant glow while keeping it fresh and bright.
Why a White Gold Christmas Tree Works
There’s something about this color palette.
I really think that the white and gold color combination works really well. The white and silver light up the tree while the gold adds a bit of warmth.
This gold silver white Christmas tree that tells a story might be my favorite Christmas tree ever…
Handmade Ornaments: Personal Touches That Shine
Most of the ornament on this tree are handmade.
The embroidered burlap ornaments are from last year. The wooden stars from two years ago. the little doily ornaments that look like snowflakes I made a few Christmases ago. Tiny treasures, imperfect and quirky—but perfect for a DIY white gold Christmas tree.
I love that every ornament carries a little memory of Christmas craft fun and creativity taking its course. With handmade ornaments combined with some glittery storebought ones, you can turn your silver and gold Christmas tree into something sentimental, fun, and uniquely yours.
Silver and white catch the light. Airy. Sparkling. Magical.
Gold? Adds warmth and depth. A touch of cozy elegance that makes the whole tree feel inviting.
It is difficult to photograph though…
DIY Tree Stand Idea
This year, we came up with a fun alternative tree stand idea. I am loving it!
I stacked two painted suitcases (find out how to paint old suitcases here).
We had to fill up the bottom one with wood for stability, and the tree fit perfectly in the top one. I used a tree skirt the hide the metal legs of the tree and fill up the suitcase.
The Christmas light cords are hidden in that basket with pine cones next to the suitcases.
Tips for Your Own White Gold Christmas Tree
- Stick to white, gold, and silver for a timeless, elegant look.
- Mix handmade and DIY ornaments with a few store-bought accents for balance.
- Use a DIY tree stand and skirt to hide cords and create a polished display.
- Don’t stress photography—enjoy the glow in person.
- Make it personal. Make it yours.
Yes this tree is exactly what the doctor ordered. Fun, classy, sentimental and totally me…..
My tree is up, my house is decorated: I guess I am ready for the hot cocoa, the Christmas movies, and for eating why too many Christmas cookies.
Let that magical time of the year begin…
Gorgeous tree, and those suitcases are beyond creative! The magic translated perfectly!
Thank you! Photographing Christmas trees must be one of the hardest things to catch. I am glad you liked my tree.
What a beautiful tree! I love how you have it in those white suitcases! Too perfect. I’m not a a fan of traditional tree skirts. What a great idea!
I love it too. I actually had already altered my tree skirt to go with this years tree, but I like the suitcases much better. My decorating thing must be rubbing off on my love because he came up with this idea.
Absolutely stunning and charming all in one fell swoop! And your hubby was right, those trunks are perfection! I’d take this tree off your hands in a heartbeat!
Nope can’t have it, I am loving it too much myself.
I love your tree in the suitcase–brilliant! And your decorations are lovely. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful ideas and decorations.
