Dreaming of a White (and Green) Christmas

There is something so clean and pure about the combination of green and white.  Without a doubt, the combination can go anywhere, especially during the Christmas season.

With little effort you can create a stunning entrance to your home.  No ribbons and bows required, and really none are needed as the evergreens speak for themselves.

Gather all of your white containers and place cuttings of evergreens or paper-whites inside for a simple green and white display.  No white containers?  Paint clay pots white and fill with evergreens from the garden.

Create a simple table scape by filling an apothecary jar with found objects such as pine cones, nuts, sweet gum balls, or bird nests.  Greenery, and a collection of white boxes or candles will complete the scene.

Add accents to the tree with berries, hydrangeas, or glass balls.   String ribbons of green, white, and brown from the top of the tree to the bottom.

Pillar candles are even better when arranged on a bed of greenery.

Cypress and spruce from the garden add the perfectly festive touch.

Together green and white allow me to see the simple beauty.
