Ribbon Bow Trees – The Hottest Christmas Trend
Bows on Christmas trees are trending and I’m here for it! Think old-fashioned Christmas, Little Women inspired and very feminine. I’m talking about delicate ribbons tied up into pretty bows hanging from branch tips. Not to mention that using ribbon is a more cost effective alternative to ornaments and garland. It’s easy to personalize a tree with ribbons in your favorite color, size and style. I’m sharing my favorite ribbon bow trees that I think you are going to love!
This is part of my Christmas tree decorating series and you can see more inspiration posts in the links below …

Since my family goes to one of my son’s home, I have found it easier to not drag out all those things to put on my trees that only I will see. Now ribbon is so much easier and I love it. I am very thrilled that we all meet at his home and I only take snacks. Food tastes so much better since I don’t have to cook!!lol!
That’s so nice Marlene! I’m sure after years of hosting, it’s nice to get a break! Enjoy your Christmas with your family!
This is 80’s per Southern Living. Did my tree with all tartan plaid bows 1981. Not a new idea just recycled.
Everything old is new again 🙂
These are all so neat! I love the one with a bow on top and the navy and green!
