Rustic Glam Christmas Tree

Yes- that is the same name I gave my tree last year... and the tree looks very similar to last year's tree. If I had it my way (and an endless holiday bank account), I would change up Christmas decor every year. My husband, on the other hand, thinks that idea is ridiculous! So I am using much of what I had last year but tweaking it just a bit! So without further ado- here is our 2012 Rustic Glam Christmas Tree!

I used my "fabric feathers" that I just loved on last year's tree and layered in silver, gold and burlap ribbons.  I stuck with my gold, silver, mercury glass and rustic ornaments although I did surprise myself with a few new ornaments that I forgot I bought after Christmas last year!

I also set up our advent calendar on time this year and we have enjoyed counting down to Christmas!

In the middle of the chaos of trying to pack and move, the glow of the Christmas tree makes the house still feel festive- just ignore the all the boxes!! It just wouldn't be Christmas without the tree and I couldn't stand the thought of not setting it up!

 If you're curious, here is a photo of our 2011 Rustic Glam tree:

Deck the Halls {O Christmas Tree}

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas music in the air, a warm fire on a chilly night and the glow of a beautiful Christmas tree! We have had our tree up for a couple of weeks now and I have been tweaking with decorations ever since! Put the ribbon on- didn't like it- take the ribbon off (x3). Put all the ornaments on but it was still missing something! Weaved in some large feathers and fell in love! I still feel like our topper is lacking but we can work on that! Without further ado- here is our Rustic-Glam Christmas Tree!

I started with a mix of gold and silver ribbons and a silver beaded garland. Silver ball ornaments and a few other fun gold and sparkly ornaments with a few pine cones, branches and feathers finished off the tree!!

and our lovely Wedding Invitation Ornament looks great!

Our tree topper is a few branches from outside in the woods that I spray painted gold and silver.  It needs a little more "filler" and a little more sparkle and I think it will be just right!

I finished up my tree skirt last night!

I have a few more ornaments that we will put on the tree but I have to finish my advent calendar first!! Look at me- I am already 8 days late on counting down! I'll have to get on that one soon!!!

So there you have it- our Rustic-Glam Christmas Tree!
