5 Quick {and Classy} Ways to Decorate for Christmas<\/h3>\n

Every year, elf on a shelf makes his infamous debut, along with many other Christmas characters that scream\u00a0Christmas overkill<\/em>. But if you want to opt for a more classy Christmas display in your home, you’ll definitely want to follow along with us today because we’re sharing some convenient ways to decorate for the holidays, without the overbearing bright reds and greens, grinches, or Santa themes. We’ll be sharing elegant decor ideas from some of our favorite\u00a0design bloggers, so get your mistletoe out and kiss your gaudy\u00a0Christmas<\/del> goodbye.<\/p>\n

1) Set the Table with Real Leaves + Handwritten Elements<\/h3>\n

2) Hanging Pinecones vs. a Regular Wreath<\/h3>\n

Up the charm factor for visitors this holiday by welcoming them with a simple pinecone display. You can find a variety of pinecones at your local craft store, or go on a walk at the park and pick up fallen ones. I see them all the time here in Orange County. For an added sparkle effect, spray paint the pinecones gold or silver and dust with some loose\u00a0glitter.<\/p>\n

3) A Simple Strand of Elegance<\/h3>\n

4) Pearls, Twine, and Candles, Oh My!<\/h3>\n

5)\u00a0Not Your Average {Circular} Christmas Wreath<\/h3>\n

Instead of creating a circular shape\u00a0like we’re so used to seeing, why not piece together some of your favorite elements from the great outdoors to create a more rustic interpretation of the typical Christmas wreath? We’re loving this look by SF Girl by Bay. Depending on your geography, you can incorporate twigs, twine, and pine. We think adding some succulents in\u00a0would also\u00a0make for a pretty rad\u00a0wreath. {Succulents are\u00a0hip here in Cali, mostly because they don’t need much water and we’re in a drought!} \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
