Our Gingham Christmas Tree Inspiration

How soon is TOO soon to start posting about Christmas decor on my blog?! ;) Hopefully you're okay with it, because I'm so excited to start decorating this year. We'll be going to California a week before Christmas and spending 2 weeks there, so I think I want to get up our decor and tree here a week early to enjoy it a little longer before we take off. I thinkkk we're going to get our tree next weekend or early next week, just a few days before Thanksgiving (don't be mad;)) I've decided to go with a classic look this year and do gingham ribbon around our tree. I loved our metallic rustic ribbon last year and will probably use it somewhere (maybe on wreaths), but wanted to switch it up a little for the tree. I am obsessed with gingham and love how wintery it looks, so we're going with it! Our ornaments will be mostly mixed metallics, but with a bunch of red thrown in too. I'm even going to try to find (or make) a few gingham ornaments. I picked up neutral wrapping paper from Target and will finish them all with red and metallic bows. 
PS. I also love the tree below in a galvanized bucket. We might have to put ours on top of one, especially with a puppy, who might be way too excited about a living tree in our apartment!
