better late than never, right?! We have been decorating our home for Christmas sporadically throughout the month and I FINALLY took some time to photograph it this morning! Decorating for Christmas has been quite a process… a FUN process in my opinion but Michael may have a different take on it! :) I’m just kidding, Michael is such a trooper. When I say “Ya know, I think we need some more twigs here”…. he goes with me to the mall and we make a date night out of a quick “twig” run. It’s a win-win! He knows that I really enjoy decorating and while he does have some veto power, most of the time he lets me do whatever ideas pop into my head!!
Now the funny part of decorating a new house that is double the size of your previous home is that everything we used to decorate with looks miniature now! Our old tree looks so TINY under 9ft ceilings! So we added to our “holiday decor” collection a little bit and I have to say, the house feels magical!! I LOVE sitting in the loving room at night with all of the twinkly lights!! So enough of me rambling, let me show you some of our Christmas decor!!
Stockings are from Target two years ago… not sure if they still exist or not. Candle holders: Pottery Barn Sequenced Trees: Target Ornament : Crate and Barrel Assorted Ornaments: Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Target, Hobby Lobby This is our “Wedding Tree”!! We had a PEACOCK themed wedding! You can view it HERE! And so we used our wedding decor to design our living room tree! Peacocks from Pier One! Mercury tree: Pottery Barn Votives: Crate and Barrel and Target Michael’s mom passed her ceramic nativity set down to us and I love it! It’s so clean and simple! Perfect for the foyer! This is just a Walmart wreath tied to a mirror! Kitchen! If you saw this Thanksgiving Tablescape, I just switched the twigs and the runner and added a few Christmas accents! Love!! This was our main Christmas tree from our first home! Twigs: Crate and Barrel Glassware and Votives: Crate and Barrel Trees: Target Pottery Barn “Bokeh” frame I believe… it was a gift! :) This year’s packaging was gold and silver! Thank goodness for the Target $1 section! And the outside!! I hope all of you decor lovers out there enjoyed this and that it was inspiring!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and enjoy your Christmas EVE!!!!!!Oh where do I begin? This wasn’t just another wedding for me. This was a legacy KJ Wedding and I have been looking forward to it ever since my first email from Danny and Megan!
I’m really excited about this YouTube video because I know that it resonates with ALL photographers who photograph PEOPLE!!
Have you ever walked into a client experience and realized “oh wow, this is not what I was expecting?” ….
