Blue and White Christmas Ornaments, Hand Painted

Blue and white Christmas ornaments have the same classic charm as ginger jars and patterned plates, the kind of thing that seems to work anywhere in a home. For mine, I went softer: pale, misty blue ceramic with loose white daisies and little green leaves painted right across it, so each one feels like a little winter garden.

I paint each ornament by hand in my South Florida studio, so even within this collection, no two are alike.

My Soft Blue and White Ornaments

These are such pretty little things. The blue is soft, almost frosty, and the daisies are just a few quick strokes each. They’d be darling on a white or flocked tree, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hang them on a traditional green one either. Sometimes a single ornament with a few painted flowers is all a branch needs.

Their Mint and Aqua Cousins

And because I can never leave a good color combination alone, there are mint and aqua versions too, with the same white daisies and green leaves. Mix them in with the pale blues and the whole tree looks collected, with the flowers tying everything together.

How to Decorate a Blue and White Christmas Tree

The prettiest blue and white trees have a little variety. Mix pale blues with deeper cobalt, a few blue and white patterned ornaments and maybe something porcelain. A touch of gold or brass adds warmth that looks lovely against all that cool color.

A flocked tree is beautiful with these, and a green tree gives them a completely different feel, so don’t get too caught up in making everything match. Just give hand painted ornaments a spot where you can actually see the flowers. They’re little paintings, after all.

Blue and white works all year, too. If you’re curious, I wrote about grandmillennial wall art and the 60-30-10 color rule.
