1. Amethyst and Burgundy Tree

If you want drama — the glamorous kind — this is your tree. Imagine: Deep amethyst ornaments glowing against twinkling warm lights, metallic purple ribbons cascading down the branches, and a few emerald-green ornaments just to make everything pop.

How to Create It:

• Start with a deep green or purple artificial tree.
• Add purple lights to bring out the jewel tones.
• Layer large glossy amethyst ornaments first.
• Add textured pieces like glittered pinecones or sequined spheres.
• Finish with a wide, shimmery red-purple ribbon woven in soft “S” curves.

Why It Works: The deep jewel-tones absorb the light and make the tree look almost enchanted — like something out of a fairytale forest.

 

2. Lavender Snowfall Tree

Soft. Dreamy. Romantic. This is the tree for people who want something whimsical and calm — not loud.  Lavender ornaments mixed with frosted whites, snowflake garlands, and silver accents that catch the light like freshly fallen snow.

How to Create It:

• Use cool-white or icy-blue lights.
• Hang matte lavender ornaments in different sizes.
• Mix in white frosted snowflakes, feathers, or iridescent baubles.
• Add strands of delicate silver tinsel for a snowy shimmer.

Perfect For: Bedrooms, small spaces, and anyone who wants a gentle, magical winter vibe.

Think nighttime sky. Think mystery. Think elegant, moody purple Christmas décor that feels like velvet.

How to Create It:

Purple and gold together? Instant royalty. This tree looks like it belongs in a castle — or at least a very glamorous Airbnb.

How to Create It:

• Choose rich plum ornaments in matte, gloss, and glitter textures.
• Add gold leaf-style picks, golden ribbon, or metallic garlands.
• Use gold-tipped pinecones or gold berry sprigs as fillers.

• Finish with a burlap or linen ribbon in a muted lavender tone.
• Top with a rustic star or twig snowflake.

The Vibe: Winter cottage in the woods… but with lavender mist drifting through the trees. Perfect for people who love a mix of natural and whimsical.

 

7. The Full-Blown Purple Ornament Explosion Tree

This one is pure fun. If you’ve collected purple ornaments over the years (or plan to), this is where they all come together — loud, joyful, colorful, and festive in every way.

How to Create It:
