Coastal Charm with Aqua Ornaments
Aqua ornaments with their soft, sea-inspired shade makes them perfect for anyone celebrating Christmas in the sunshine or wanting to create a breezy, beachy feel indoors.
Pair aqua with silver and white ornaments to create the crisp, frosty look of waves pounding the shore or add touches of gold and coral for a tropical twist.
Styling Tips for a Coastal Theme
- Use white garlands or ribbons to highlight the ornaments’ soft tones.
- Add seashells, starfish or driftwood ornaments for a full beach-themed tre.
- Incorporate plenty of sparkling fairy lights to bring aqua ornaments to life.
Winter Wonderland with Aqua Ornaments
When you combine aqua and silver ornaments on a tree (especially a white tree or a frosted tree) it makes me think of a winter wonderland and I can imagine the Snow Queen from fairytales decorating her tree this way (if she had one).
Pairing aqua and silver ornaments together works absolutely brilliantly for this theme (as a bonus tip adding aqua and silver ornaments on a black tree, while not winter wonderland, can look stunning and dramatic).
When it comes to the aqua ornaments you use I would have include some cracked glass or decorated glass ones in different shapes.
Styling Tips for an Aqua Winter Wonderland Theme
- Include a mix of aqua, metallic silver, white and crystal ornaments including icicles and snowflakes.
- Use white gossamer ribbons or white satin garlands.
- Pinecones and wooden ornaments can add a nice touch if you want to go with a woodland wonderland. If you’re doing this you can also add white owl ornaments and sprigs of white and silver foliage.
- Use various ornament finishes such as matte, glossy, glitter to add some depth to your tree along with different sized ornaments.
- Use a faux fur tree skirt to add a cozy, luxurious finish.
Victorian Themed Christmas Tree with a Dollop of Aqua
When we think of a Victorian themed Christmas tree we are usually thinking of natural elements, homemade ornaments, luxurious trims combined with cameo ornaments and vintage filigree ornaments.
This theme can work really well with aqua ornaments, combine these with soft pink, silver or champagne for a romantic and elegant Victorian aesthetic. Alternatively you can decorate your Victorian tree with more opulent colors like reds, gold, purples and other gem tones and add the cooling color of aqua as a gorgeous contrast.
Styling Tips for an Aqua Victorian Theme
- Use plush velvet, satin or organza ribbons for draping and add twisted tin tinsel to the tree.
- Add Christmas lights that look like candles.
- Introduce pinecones and other natural elements, also old fashioned sweet themed ornaments.
- Add some punched paper or tin ornaments among the more modern baubles, also beaded ornaments.
Aqua & Peacock Christmas Theme
Around 2011 Peacocks were a very popular Christmas tree theme and I have to say I thought some of them looked amazing. The peacock theme usually centers around teals and purples and aqua combines really well with these colors.
If you wanted to modernize the peacock theme for your tree I would certainly consider adding aqua ornaments.
Styling Tips for a Peacock Theme with Aqua Ornaments
- Decide on your color palette from royal blue, teal, emerald green and purple and think about what colors you are going to pair with these from, gold, bronze and rose gold. The aqua will work well as an accent color – adding pops of these can add contrast and depth.
- Use warm fairy lights.
- Use cascading ribbons to help create a peacock tail effect.
- Add some peacock ornaments and decorative picks to add to the ornaments.
- Tuck sequined and glittered feather sprays deep into the branches to add more texture and catch the light.
