Why not have a winter wonderland Christmas with all white Christmas decorations?
You can start with a white flocked Christmas tree or a traditional green Christmas tree and build from there.
When decorating in a monochromatic (one color) color scheme, make sure to add in lots of different textures for interest.
You can also add in other neutral colors such as brown, black, gray, and silver.
If you prefer a more glamorous Christmas tree, consider adding mirrors, sequins, glitter, and other shiny things to your all white Christmas decorations.
Nature Inspired
You can decorate for Christmas without using red by going with a nature inspired color palette.
Use soft gold, brown, white, and cream colors for a natural look.
You can decorate with natural elements such as grapevine wreath, flowers, pinecones, and tree branches.
Your Home's Color Scheme
You can decorate your Christmas tree using the colors in your home.
Look around your home and use one or several of the colors in your room as a jumping off point for your Christmas decorations (not red).
Select your Christmas tree garland, lights, and other decorations in those colors.
Unique Christmas Tree
If you want your Christmas tree to really stand out, use unique colors.
You can use a Christmas tree that is pink, black, silver, or whatever color you like.
Use Christmas lights that are in an interesting color or in an interesting shape.
Your garland can be something non-traditional.
Your Christmas tree ornaments and other decorations can also be in unique colors.
