Our Pink and Blue Christmas Tree with Gold Accents

Create a warm Pink and Blue Christmas Tree with Gold Accents, handmade ornaments, keepsakes and cozy details. A simple, heartfelt holiday tour.

My friend, this year’s tree has my whole heart. I didn’t start out with a strict plan. I only knew I loved the themes from the last two years and couldn’t choose between them. Last year was pink, white and gold. The previous one was white, blue and gold. I loved both so much that when it came time to decorate again, I simply couldn’t choose.

How to decorate a pink and blue Christmas tree

The moment I started placing the first ornaments, the whole palette came alive. Soft pink, gentle blues, lots of white and the perfect amount of gold to keep everything warm. My flocked tree made it all look even softer. There’s something about a snowy tree that pulls everything together and gives the room that winter glow I love.

The Flocked Christmas Tree

Once the tree was fluffed, I went straight to the ribbons because they shape the whole look for me. I tucked white and gold ribbon into the branches, letting it curve naturally, and then added my fluffy white ribbon for that snowy texture.

Just with that, the tree already felt fuller and cozier.

The Ornaments

Then came the ornaments, and this is where I decorate with intention. I always start with the pieces that tell our story.

You probably know me by now. I had to include my all-time favorite flocked pinecones. I keep coming back to them each year. They’re simple, but they add that winter touch that instantly softens the tree. And I always use them in a different way each year.

And my personalized glitter ornaments always go next. These are traditions for us now. Every name is a focal point through the branches, and it makes everyone feel present, even those who can’t be here with us. I look forward to hanging them every year.

My memory snow-globe keepsake ornaments are another must. Each one has faux snow and tiny photos inside, little snapshots from different moments of our lives. I place them where the lights hit them just right, because when the snow catches the glow, the whole ornament feels alive.

I also added my feather ornaments again. And I refreshed them with blue rhinestones and a tiny ribbon bow, and they fit so sweetly with the whole palette. Soft white, a touch of sparkle, and a hint of blue.

From there, I mixed in my store-bought ornaments to balance everything out: white, gold, pink, blue, matte, shiny, translucent.

The big snowflakes also returned because I love the bright white pop they add. They keep the tree feeling fresh and wintery.

The wooden family monograms are another detail I love. They add a natural texture among all the baubles and make the tree feel a little more personal without being distracting.

Christmas Tree Skirt

And then the base.

I always spend time here because it completes the whole scene. I used my fluffy white skirt again and added the tall soft characters, the gnomes, the little sled, and the large white wrapped hoops, one of my newest creations.

They create this sweet winter moment under the tree that ties everything together. It makes the whole corner of the room feel warm and inviting.

When I finally stepped back, I smiled because everything felt right. The colors from past years blending into something new.

The handmade pieces mixed with the store-bought ones. The keepsakes. The names. The memories. Every branch holds a story.

This tradition of mixing and reusing ornaments has become one of the things I look forward to the most. The tree grows with us every year, and it always ends up feeling like home.

Crafting Tips

A few tips for creating a tree you truly love

Start with two or three colors you really enjoy. That’s enough to guide your choices without boxing you in.
Add your ribbons before anything else. It makes the whole tree look more intentional and polished.
Mix texture and meaning. Handmade pieces bring heart. Store-bought pieces bring balance. Together they make magic.
Put sentimental ornaments where the lights can reach them. Names, photos, special details.
Don’t overlook the base of your tree. A soft skirt, a crate, gnomes, Reindeers, Santas, lanterns, or cute props can completely change the mood.
Reuse what you have. Refresh old ornaments, mix past themes, or repaint pieces. A lot of the magic is already in your storage bins.
Add one new handmade ornament each year. It builds your tree’s story little by little.

At the end of the day, the best Christmas trees aren’t the ones that match perfectly. They’re the ones that carry meaning, memories, and love in every corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a color theme for my Christmas tree?

You can follow the current year’s trends you see on shops, Pinterest, etc. or you can just start with two or three colors you naturally love. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Once you place the first ornaments, you’ll know right away if the palette feels right. You can always adjust as you go.

Can I mix ornaments from different themes or past years?

Absolutely. Mixing ornaments from previous themes can create the most beautiful results. I combined two different years this season, and the colors blended into a soft, wintery palette. Reusing what you already have can feel new again when you mix it differently.

How do I make a flocked Christmas tree look fuller?

Learning the right ways to fluff tree branches is key but ribbon also can be your best friend. Tuck it into the branches so it feels like part of the tree. Mix matte, shiny, textured and handmade ornaments. Pinecones, snowflakes and soft garlands also help fill gaps while keeping the look cozy.

What sentimental ornaments should I include on my tree?

Anything that carries a memory. Personalized ornaments, photo keepsake ornaments, monograms, handmade pieces and ornaments collected over the years all bring personality and heart to your tree.

How do I mix handmade and store-bought ornaments without making the tree look too busy?

Spread them evenly throughout the tree. Let the handmade pieces shine and use store-bought ornaments to balance the colors and fill the space. Keeping a simple color palette helps everything work together.
