Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree with Swarovski Snowflake Ornaments
For the first time, my collection of Swarovski snowflake ornaments are being displayed on a Christmas tree rather than on the wood tree that I usually use to display them.
I’m sharing my snowflake themed tree with a talented group of blogging friends who are also sharing their Christmas trees for the 4th Annual Christmas Tree Decor Blog hop hosted by Michelle of Our Crafty Mom.
You’ll find links to all of the Christmas trees shared today at the end of this post.
Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree with Swarovski Snowflake Ornaments
My husband has given me a Swarovski snowflake ornament every year since 1994.
I usually display these snowflakes on the music cabinet to the left of our fireplace but this year decided that these special ornaments deserved their own tree.
Check out this post to see how I’ve displayed these ornaments every year until 2020.
This year I treated myself to a new Christmas tree, purchased especially for my Swarovski crystal snowflake ornaments. I went with a flocked tree because I thought that the snowflakes would look great hanging on it.
To coordinate with my Swarovki snowflake ornaments, on my tree I also used off-white ribbon edged with gold; dozens of white plastic snowflakes; silver balls; and white berry branches.
The white snowflakes are from Hobby Lobby as is the ribbon, and the white berry branches.
I’m not sure that the white snowflakes are supposed to be ornaments but they worked perfectly to decorate my tree.
I used floral wire to attach them to the tree.
Swarovski Snowflake Ornaments
I placed my newest snowflake for 2020 at the top of the tree.
Mr. SP gave me my first Swarovski ornament the year we were married, 1994.
For years the ornament ribbon was blue and in recent years it changed to white.
I prefer the blue ribbon over the white.
Each year the snowflake has a different design.
The crystal snowflakes refract light and make rainbows all over my living room. It is magical!
This is my first time adding berry branches to my Christmas tree and I love the look.
I already had many of the branches that I used because I used them for last year’s Walking in a Winter Wonderland mantel.
Each year when I unbox these ornaments, I think of the year and what made it special or challenging.
My tradition is to leave my Swarovski snowflake ornaments out until March. When Christmas is over, I’ll transfer them to the wood tree that I usually use so that I can enjoy these beautiful ornaments all winter.
Snowflake Themed Tree at Night
I love how this tree looks at night and because it is in our formal living room on the front side of our house, our neighbors can see it as they drive or walk past our home.
Along with buying a new tree this year, I also bought a new tree skirt. I love this white fur tree skirt and it was very reasonably priced.
It was an investment to buy a new Christmas tree but I have zero regrets. We now have three trees in our home and I love it!

Fabulous tree, Paula, and the Swarovski crystals makes it extra special and sentimental!
Your tree is stunning. The white with the crystal looks so crisp. It looks like something right out of a window in New York City and I love that it has all the ornaments you’ve collected over the years. Happy to be hopping with you today. I enjoy reading your blog and hearing about your journey. Your are very inspiring.
What a beautiful tradition! What a beautiful tree!
Such a beautiful collection of Swarovski ornaments. I had an all white and iridescent Christmas tree for 35 years until I started blogging. The bright white look with the sparkling clear ornaments is still my very favorite. I love your tree very much.
What an absolutely gorgeous tree with all that white snow, snowflakes, ribbon and best of all, the Swarovski crystal snowflakes!!! With the warn lights, it just is so regal looking and says it’s gonna be a special Christmas!!! Enjoy!!
Oh Paula, your winter wonderland tree is breathtaking! Your new flocked tree was well worth the splurge! It’s the perfect backdrop for your lovely and sentimental crystal snowflake ornaments. The plastic snowflakes, white ribbon and white berries tie it all together beautifully. It looks like Sherman approves! Pinned 🙂
Beautiful and elegant tree! Thanks for sharing.
This is just gorgeous! Every detail on this tree is just beautiful. I love those crystal ornaments.
I absolutely love this SO MUCH!!!! I need to do an all white tree one year.
What a beautiful frosty tree. Reminds me of the ice after the snow in Virginia. If anyone duplicates this awesome look, you can put clear glitter glue on the other snowflakes so the light reflects off of them.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving and the best of health Paula.
Christmas is all about traditions and what a wonderful tradition you have, it’s so special. And those ornaments are definitely deserving of their own magical tree!
I love your tree, I think great minds think alike as we were both Walking In a Winter Wonderland this year! I am totally feeling you on the crisp beauty of all an all white tree, and yours it beautiful!
Paula, Your tree is amazing! This was certainly the perfect tree to showcase your beautiful snowflakes! What a wonderful collection of gorgeous ornaments you have, and how lovely you have displayed them! Wishing you a lovely Thanksgiving!
You have an absolutely beautiful tree! I can only imagine the magnificent sparkles of those snowflakes when the tree is lit.

I absolutely love all the Swarovski ornaments! It’s so sweet that your hubby gets you one each and every year! I picked up my first one last year and I think I may start collecting them now, maybe one day I’ll have this many!
Your tree is beautiful! What a special treasure to have all of those Swaroski ornaments along with the memories I’m sure each one brings. The addition of the white snowflakes was a great idea.
Wow! This tree is a showstopper! It’s gorgeous in the day but positively GLOWS at night. Just a beautiful spot for your ornaments. And I cannot stop thinking about how wonderful a tradition it is to get one every year. What a wonderful reminder of all you’ve been through in your marriage. Just love it!
This is so gorgeous! I love that he gives you the new ornament each year. That is such a great tradition that you have. They look so great on the tree. The whole thing looks amazing. Merry Christmas!
Your tree is beyond beautiful, Paula! Wow! It is so frosty with all the snowflakes and I have to say, those Swarovski ornaments are the icing on the cake! I have never heard of them, but your husband’s tradition of giving you one every Christmas is so thoughtful! It has paid off as your tree is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
Hugs,
