Wintry White, Blue and Silver Christmas Tree
This wintry white, blue and silver Christmas tree uses blue, white and silver ornaments, ribbon and crystal ornaments to create a sparkly holiday scene.
Since blue is my favorite color and most of the rooms in my house have some shade of blue in them, it probably isn’t a surprise that my Christmas tree theme also uses blue.
The only problem?
I’ve done a lot of blue Christmas trees in the past (like this blue, white and gold tree, and this blue and white tree).
And I don’t want this year’s tree to look the same as my previous trees.
So this year I decided to create a different look by focusing on a wintry feel.

As I mentioned above, I wanted to do a wintry theme so I decided to go with blue, white and silver as my color theme. With a lot of glass and crystal ornaments for that icy look.
I also bought myself a flocked Christmas tree.
Since it goes with the wintry theme (and I’ve been wanting one for ages), I figured this was the year to get one.
Here are some of my favorites (you can find the sources by clicking on the images):
How To Decorate A Wintry White, Blue and Silver Christmas Tree
1 | Add Ribbon
As usual, I started out with some ribbon that I wove in and out of the branches.
To make it look more natural, I don’t put the ribbon on in horizontal lines around the tree.
And I have parts of it sticking out from the tree while other parts are tucked into the branches so you can’t see it.
2 | Hang Large Ball Ornaments
Next up is some large ball ornaments.
I started with some white and silver ones that I pushed further into the center of the tree.
These help to reflect the lights making the tree seem to glow.
Then I hung blue, white and silver balls all around the outside of the tree, trying to space the colors out evenly.
3 | Add Specialty Ornaments
Next I hung all of my special blue and white ornaments like my favorite ginger jars and some large blue and white bells.
Longer finial ornaments add some variation in shape.
4 | Hang Crystal and Glass Ornaments
To create that wintry feeling, I hung lots of long clear glass ornaments which look like icicles.
And these DIY crystal ornaments I made a couple of weeks ago are a perfect fit.
5 | Tie Bows On The Branches
To add some more softness to the tree, I tied white and silver bows to the end of the branches.
6 | Add The Tree Topper
Since my tree is almost as tall as my ceiling, a traditional tree topper always looks too crowded.
So I went with a non-traditional version.
With a bunch of silver butterfly ornaments leading up to the top of the tree.
The Finishing Touches
To keep the color theme going, I put down a blue tree skirt (which is just a piece of fabric I had lying around).
One of my blue and white garden stools with a white lantern on top helps to tie the tree in with the rest of the room.
And wrapped some presents in silver wrapping paper.
On the table, I put out my DIY faux ice candle holders and the bling candle holders I made a couple of weeks ago.
The Finished Tree
I love the way the finished Christmas tree looks in my living room.
It’s Chanel’s new favorite spot!

Hello!
I love your tree and will be using this for inspiration for my tree next year. Where did you get your flocked tree?
Thanks,
Amy
Thanks, Amy! The tree came from King of Christmas. Their trees are a little more expensive (I bought it on sale) but they’re really beautiful! Mine is the slim King tree 7.5 feet tall. Here’s the link: https://www.kingofchristmas.com/products/7-5-foot-king-flock-slim-tree-led.
Where did you get the various ornaments?
Hi Laura…sorry for the late reply. I added a section with sources for ornaments.
I LOVE that you have a ragdoll too! She looks like a blue bicolor just like mine! I have been trying to find inspiration for our Christmas tree, I am doing white, silver, and aqua (my favorite color) and needed ideas to pull it all together so thank you for doing this! My ragdoll, Binx loves to be under our tree too!
She is a blue bicolor. Ragdolls are great cats, aren’t they? Your white, silver and aqua tree sounds beautiful!
Your tree is a show stopper for me. I’m in love with all of the blue and white and those hand made crystal ornaments! Oh my, so very pretty.
Thanks, Shirley! I’m pretty happy with the way those ornaments turned out 🙂

Thanks, Sonja! I’m a big fan of using fabric for tree skirts…especially since I always have so much of it hanging around in my craft room 🙂
You have some truly gorgeous ornaments. This is so peaceful looking. I’m with the cat, I’d sit next to it too!
Thanks, Trina! It’s her favorite spot in the house 🙂
A flocked tree is perfect for a wintry blue look, add the ice ornaments makes it even more bright and crisp. Your collection of blue ornaments is gorgeous.
Thanks, Leanna! I love blue so I’ve been collecting ornaments for a long time 🙂
Your blue themed Christmas tree is just beautiful, also a very pretty blue
wall. Can you tell me what company makes this paint, and the name of the colour.
Thanks, Nettie! The wall color is one of my favorites, too 🙂 It’s called “Pitch Blue” by Farrow and Ball.
You have created an absolutely beautiful tree, Wanda! I have also fallen in love with blues in my home decor this year…something I never expected to happen.
It’s so refreshing to see shades of blue on a Christmas tree! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Tracey! I love the way it turned out 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Your tree is absolutely gorgeous! Blue looks so good on a flocked Christmas tree. I love how you added ornaments that look like icicles. My mom always did that and it is an idea that I must start doing next year. Enjoy this tree this Christmas season!
Thanks, Paula! It seems like everything looks better on a flocked tree 🙂
