This Modern Christmas photoshoot by Sitting in a Tree is so fun. I love that it’s full of non-traditional colors (no red or green to be found), shapes and patterns – it’s creative, contemporary and a neat spin on the usual this time of the year!
The playful patterns are the best! Oh how I’d love a linen closet full of turquoise stripes and yellow geometric prints. Mix that with a bit of fuchsia, glitter and gold and you have yourself a very merry modern Christmas.
A few of my favorite ideas to steal: individual trays as place settings (you can buy these for just a couple of dollars each at online stores such as Oriental Trading and paint em up any way you choose), confetti ornaments (another great DIY project) and tree branch centerpieces wrapped in book pages (a quick coat of white spray paint and a dash of white glitter would be another sparkly alternative).
The entire design, including home decor inspiration, can be found here.
The shoot was set in San Diego and staged to replicate a new couple’s first Christmas – out with the old traditions while welcoming in the new. Photography by Joielala.
Thank you everyone for your comments! Hope you’re sharing a lovely Christmas Eve with family and friends!

My Goodness! This is so beautiful and unique! I haven’t seen that yet! Cool!
Now, really… are you renovating your house? With that GORGEOUS BELLY? Oh, my!!! :-)
But guess what? It’s better now than after! After it will be much busier for you. BTW, you’re looking so pretty! When is your EDD? I just want to wish all the blessing for you and your baby! Being a mother is a very special gift given to us. It’s hard, but it’s amazing at the same time! :-)
Merry Christmas to the 3 of you! :-)

Yikes, how did that comment twice?? HA
I think as long as there is sparkle, any color goes for Christmas! These pics are beautiful.

This is very pretty. I gotta host my own dinner party soon just so I can make the table all special! :)

And Merry Christmas Morgan! It’s going to be CRAZY once bubs is born! (but in a good way of course!)
This is gorgeous! I always love seeing the non-traditional colors too at Christmas.
