The Wild Berry Tree from 2016
The Wild Berry Tree from 2016!
Happy Sunday! Time for another reflection on our favorite trees from last year. This simple, yet stunning tree is known as the Wild Berry Tree and came about by chance.
I was originally planning a garland covered in berries and vines because I fell love with these simple berries in creamy white, apple green, and candy apple red. However, we had an old display tree without lights. Normally, we would relight the tree to use, but it looks so lovely and natural without them. We decided to decorate it, unlit, with berries, vines, pine cone branches, and just a few leaf shaped ornaments. This tree turned out elegant beyond expectations.

The 2016 Fiesta Tree
The 2016 Fiesta Tree!
Aye yai yai! This was one hot tree! Like a piñata explosion!
Check out how we used the sarapé style table runners as “ribbon.” Poinsettias make a natural match with anything Latin. The giant sunflowers make such a bright topper, who needs a star?
Taking a cue from trees at Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery, we tied beautiful gifts, Day of the Dead skulls, and ceramic cross figurines onto the branches with green floral wire. Lastly, we draped angel ornaments resembling rosaries wherever, making this tree completely over the top!
Phew! Now, I need a siesta!
