Rustic Christmas Tree and Lantern Decor
I absolutely love this rustic Christmas tree! Not only is it stunning, but it also includes coordinating lantern ideas to complete the look. This tree was featured in the Regency International Showroom at the Dallas Market. Its slim style makes it perfect for smaller spaces. While showroom trees are often grand and oversized, you can easily adapt their ideas for a more modest tree at home. What’s even better is that this theme works beautifully for both fall and winter. This would allow your decorations to extend seamlessly through the seasons. It’s a versatile, cozy look that you’ll enjoy well beyond Christmas!

Highlights – The Tree
Here’s what I love about this tree, and I want to share it with you before the video so you don’t miss a thing! Keep an eye out for these standout features as you watch.
Colors
- This tree features a palette of subtle, natural tones. Pale sage green, cream, and light natural shades, accented with chocolate and reddish brown for a beautiful contrast.
- The coordinating lanterns are adorned with eucalyptus sprays in a soft, light bluish hue. The color add a delicate and soothing touch to the overall design.
Ribbon
- Only one style of ribbon was used on this tree, and it’s a standout! At first glance, I thought the deer ribbon was layered over a solid chocolate brown. It actually has an edge built in. I even double-checked the SKU to be sure.
- If you want to recreate this look, you could achieve a similar effect by layering a 2.5″ ribbon over a 4″ ribbon—a simple trick to add depth and texture!
Ornaments
- Wood Beads – The bead garlands are draped in deep, elegant loops across the tree, adding a touch of rustic charm. Wood beads are a big trend this year. Regency even incorporated them into the lantern decorations for a cohesive look.
- Flocked Ornaments – The tree features chocolate, rusty brown, and burgundy-toned flocked ornaments, each sprinkled with a touch of snow. This snowy effect wasn’t part of the original ornaments but is easy to recreate with some loose snowflakes for an added wintery feel.
- Disk Ornaments with Deer – These bring a natural, woodland-inspired element to the tree, enhancing the rustic theme.
- Bird Ornaments – A mix of flocked and feathered bird ornaments are tucked into the tree. While subtle, they add a special detail that’s easy to overlook at first glance but offers a delightful “wow” moment when noticed.
- Faux Wood Branches – Thick faux wood logs and slices are a perfect fit for this tree’s rustic aesthetic. Though their popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years, they shine in this design and are even featured in the lantern decorations. The branches help to tie everything together beautifully.
Picks & Sprays
- Berry Branches –Cream berry branches extend the height of this rustic Christmas tree by an impressive two feet. Adding a tree topper made of branches, picks, and sprays is a great trick for giving your tree extra height. This works great especially if your ceiling is 10′ or more.
- For an even more dramatic effect, you can elevate your tree by placing it on a sturdy table, overturned tub, or similar base. This simple adjustment can make a 7′ tree look like a towering 10′ masterpiece. An easy step perfect for creating a grand, eye-catching display.
Lanterns
- Hanging Lanterns –In a dramatic touch, the display features lanterns hanging from the ceiling!This might be challenging to replicate at home. But, imagine the stunning impact of walking through a foyer filled with hanging lanterns, leading up to this beautiful tree.
- Recreating this look would depend on your ceiling height and your level of craftiness. It seems chains were used to securely hang the lanterns, so be sure to ensure stability if you try this.
- The rustic Christmas tree theme flows seamlessly into the lanterns. It features faux wood risers for the candles and a sprinkling of loose snow to complete the cozy, wintery vibe.
