Alright....HELP!!!
 

I am in the process of putting up my tree..I was not totally satisfied with it last year...It is white. I want to put all red decorations on it...my youngest son thinks I need some other colors on it...Granny wants me to put green with red on it...Am I wierd or is all red ok...I have some gold ornaments too, but I think all red will be cool....


Alright....opinion away...

I am waiting cause we have about 9 inches of snow on the ground and I am making chili, chicken and noodle, and potato soup for our "caroling" tonight, which the caroling has been cancelled cause the HIGH today is supposed to be 10 and the windchill is -10....no way hosbey!!!


Patiently (acutally not so patiently) waiting...

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

I like the red and gold idea, personally, but it kind of depends on the ornaments.

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

Try the all red, take a photo to show us, then we can comment......lol

Waiting for Renda and PO to chime in first. :D

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

I like the all red idea too, BTW. Just really like most of the gold decorations I've ever seen. :thumbsup

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

It sounds great to me! However, I'm one of those who just love to let the womenfolk make things look real nice and then sit back and enjoy them! :D

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

I think you could do all red. It's a white tree so a nice contrast. All red not as great on a green tree.

Re: Alright....HELP!!!
 

Use the red and gold. Put all the red on first if you have more red, then place the gold throughout to fill in.

Then, if you have some fancy picks of red, greenery or something like that place those on the ends of the branches!

If you can find this magazine still available, Southern Accents Christmas Decorating Guide, look on page 26. It shows a green tree with all red decorations, even the star. It is gorgeous!!!! It has red drop ornaments, red balls, red beaded garland. I think it would look gorgeous on a white tree.

I think you were having trouble last year because it clashed with your living room furniture.

I would go all one color or pick up ornaments that have the same colors that are accented in your living room furniture.

Looking forward to the photos and, hopefully, we will be rewarded with an annual shot of you on the floor worshiping your tree! :D

I think all red would be beautiful.

I came back to add that many times we put up our tree to satisfy our children as they are growing up. If whatever he wants makes him happy, then don't worry about having a magazine perfect tree. It's not worth it! You'll have plenty of time for that later. :thumbsup
