Pinterest Picks: Cotton Candy Christmas

I always admire a classically decorated Christmas tree, so last year I tried veering towards the traditional with my holiday decor. It didn't go so well. The end result was so 'not me' that I actually undecorated my tree and started over again with bright shiny baubles. This year I'm back to a white tree with candy-colored decorations, and I couldn't be happier. In fact I have a great little DIY planned for tomorrow along these lines. I hope you'll stop by for that. xo Ez

mmm.... what a delicious bunch of photos. i want to take a bite out of this christmas scene right here! and i want to start cutting out giant sized letters for all my gift wrappings!

delicious. i was all set to go mostly red and white (love the minimal scandinavian look and a lot of our ornaments are going to be handmade this year due to a temporary move), but this is way tempting! and so is your pinterest. :) but i see you also like the red/white/minimal theme (judging from pinterest and a lot of your projects and styling). how do you decide? it's interesting to compare the things we are drawn to and the things we actually fall back on, if that makes sense. hope you'll post pictures of what you end up doing--can't wait to see the yummy tutorial tomorrow. :)

So so pretty. I think my favorites are the little numbered dots you added to each photo.

Love those little yarn Christmas trees! Going to have to give them a go!

Everything looks sooo pretty! I'm happy to see christmas isn't as Green and Red as it used to be. Now there can be many colors! I can't wait to see the DIY post. And your website, someday I would like my blog to look this pretty. Have a great day! :D

Oh my goodness, thank you for featuring my trees, EZ! This was such a nice pick-me-up on a cold, grey morning. I love candy colored Christmas decorations!

I love those giant initials on the packages! Such a cute idea.

I'm with you Ez, even though I've seen many beautiful, traditional Christmas trees--my true love is pastel and candy colored themes.

This was a fun surprise! Thanks for sharing my tree amongst all this eye candy!

Love it... I think I'm going for a more colorful look this year as well. Guess that means I need to go shopping!

I'm a big fan of the candy-colored Christmas decor. It's also much more "me" than traditional choices. Love these pics. Thanks for sharing!
