Carry your Christmas Theme throughout the Room : Mantels Part 3

This final blog on mantels has one of my most favorite mantels. I love the color scheme for this particular mantel, tree, and wreath. First though, here is one with mauve, pink and burgundy. 

I used blue spruce garland stretched across the fireplace. Then I mixed in mauve roses and flower sprays with tiny white flowers with burgundy plums and green berries. Then I used a paisley ribbon with mauve, green, blue and purple plus a solid mauve ribbon to make a double bow and wove the ends in through the greenery. Check out the beauty of this antique fireplace mantel. 

Now this next series of pictures shows a tree, an up-close shot of the tree and then the matching mantel with matching wreath. The color combinations for this theme are absolutely stunning. The angels on the tree are from the Goebel Company in Europe. The colors worked in wonderfully with the tree. 

 

Look how the ribbon is held in the tree and with the use of poinsettia and berry picks. The color combination for this tree is a deep reddish burgundy, violet, green, copper, and gold.  Some dried flowers as well as silk were used in the tree. There are violet balls hanging in the tree that pulls the violet out of the ribbon and flowers. Some of the hanging icicles are a copper, violet mix. Here is a close up shot to identify the colors better. Check out how the poinsettias are holding the ribbon in place so naturally.

I used two ribbons. One is a flower ribbon, it kind of looks like the material used on furniture in Victorian homes long ago. The other is a beautiful green velvet ribbon which gives it a rich look.  The closest glass ball is a copper color with violet icing lines on the surface.  Next is the mantel and wreath. 

The wreath has one large bow in the center top of the wreath. Burgundy poinsettias, berry and gold leaves surround the bow and help tie the look to the tree and mantel. Gold and copper glass balls are clustered on either side holding the ribbon into the wreath similar to the way the flowers did on the tree. On the mantel you see two additional Goebel Angels on the mantel helping to tie it to the tree. More green berries are used across the mantel mixed in with the greenery. Lastly, you see more gold and copper glass ornaments on the mantel to bring some sparkle and shine. The tree has a lot of glass that adds sparkle and shine. What a combination of antique and modern look. This is one of my favorite displays from the Bed and Breakfast.
