Once Halloween passes, I move into full Christmas decorating mode. How about you?! My daughter gets a little irritated that I start so early, but she is getting over it. I typically start in our dining room to get it ready for Thanksgiving. Today, I am sharing our new Green and Gold Elegant Christmas Cone Tree Centerpiece that I created for our buffet.

Green and Gold Elegant Christmas Cone Tree Centerpiece
Last year, I created a similar, but smaller version of this year’s vignette. A few of the images went viral on Pinterest, so I decided to do another one. This year it is bigger but just as easy to put together. Here is what it looked like last year. You can see the whole post HERE.
Each year, I choose one or two elements of my holiday decor that I will feature throughout our home for the season. This year, I will be using pine cones to tie everything together. You will see them on every tree, table, and even table settings. They are an obvious fit for a Colorado home!
One of the few things I upgraded this year was the faux mixed garland. I have been using the same garland for years and it needed to be replaced. Our decorations are up for so long that I prefer to work with faux garland. However, there are so many great options these days that look so realistic and they don’t dry out…bonus!
This particular mixed garland came with the pine cones already installed so it made decorating with them very easy. Mine are from Hobby Lobby, but I have sourced several similar ones below that I also love. All I had to do was place all of the gold ornaments once it was arranged on the buffet.
We have three fireplaces in our home, but only one of them has a mantel. With that being said, I typically decorate my larger surfaces like this one in lieu of a mantel. So…this vignette would be great to do if you have a mantel or two to decorate.
How I created this Green and Gold Elegant Christmas Cone Centerpiece
Recently, I replaced my buffet lamps with these new gold lamps. So, I decided to use my gold cone trees that I used last year for my Silver and Gold Snowflake Christmas Table Setting. Reusing and repurposing your decor can make it feel brand new!
To start things off, I placed the garland (two of them) on the buffet in a wavy pattern so that I could add the cone trees easily. I used two garlands so it would be long enough to cascade down the sides.
Next, the cone trees were placed in the garland. You could really use any color, size, or amount of trees. I had a lot of them, so I went for it!
Finally, I just layered a selection of gold ornaments, large and small, on top of the garland. This provided a nice backdrop to feature some of my most elegant and cherished ornaments. Sometimes, ornaments can get lost in a tree, but here, they shine bright complemented by the greenery. You could use an assortment of ornaments, sizes, and colors. The more texture…the better!
Voila!
Hopefully, you enjoyed seeing our new Green and Gold Elegant Christmas Cone Tree Centerpiece. It was so easy to put together! The pine cones certainly add an element of the Colorado outdoors to warm things up. You can see how I used some of these elements in my Christmas Home Tour from last year.
SO elegant and glamorous Holly! I love the pine cones, and now I’m going to be looking for them in all your posts this season! 🙂 Thanks for the great inspiration, as always, and happy decorating!
Hi Barbara! I go a little crazy at Christmas! Happy decorating to you as well! XO
What a beautiful centerpiece!
Thank you so much, Chasity. I had fun putting it together!! Have a great day!
Gorgeous, Holly! I love Christmas cone trees, and hope to actually DIY a few this year! (Here’s hoping!) Love all the Christmas glam you added to your buffet!
Awww. You are so sweet, Julie! I cannot wait to see what you do!! It is a great idea. Have a great rest of your weekend. XO
I am new to your blog but already deemed it a favorite. Although I have a different style of decorating I have gotten some new ideas to use. I use the mark Roberts fairies and elves (and have quiet a large collection, getting new ones each year) IN DIFFERENT WAYS EACH YEAR. IT IS GETTING RATHER DIFFICULT TO COME UP WITH A NEW WAY EACH CHRISTMAS. BUT I LOVE THE BLING!
Sounds beautiful, Esther! I am so glad you found the blog. Have a lovely rest of your weekend. XO
You are my kind of decorator. Love the look.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Lewis! I really appreciate your kind words. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful arrangement! I did something similar this year, but with mostly creamy white porcelain trees with some gold mixed. Love your idea of using the faux greenery. I felt my buffet arrangement needed something and now I know to try the greenery next year. I love your new buffet lamps and wonder if you could tell me where you bought them. They are exactly what I’ve been searching for. Sorry for using all upper case, for some reason it was the only way to send. 🤷♀️
Hi Mary Ellen! You are so sweet to comment on the lamps. They are a new offering from Uttermost. I have a wholesale account with them since I am a designer. I have not found them online yet. I am happy to order them for you if you are interested (just email me at homewithholliday@gmail.com. I just love them! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandra! Merry Christmas!
