DELIGHTFUL DECOR FOR CHRISTMAS IN NEW ORLEANS – PART 2!

FIREPLACE #1 – My friends’ New Orleans home library fireplace mantel is decorated with a traditional garland made of cedar boughs, red eucalyptus berries, crystal candle sticks and gold ribbon. (above)

Still in New Orleans staying at FF and CCF’s grand manse on St. Charles Avenue. Yesterday’s holiday party was FANTASTIC. There were flash floods in the late afternoon and early evening but New Orleans’ bravest and finest still showed up for both parties.

Before the festivities began, I managed to sneak in some photos of the home’s holiday decor as fashioned by event planning expert Delaney Todd Bagwell.

This post is about decorating a fireplace mantel for the holidays. These three fireplaces are in three different rooms in this historic home that happens to belong to my friends. Hope this gives you some ideas for yours.

FIREPLACE #3 – The men’s parlor mantle decor is rustic and simple featuring a fresh garland, pine cones and nuts covering the gorgeous marble fireplace. (above and below)

New York and New Orleans based event planner Delaney Todd Bagwell made these nut topiaries himself. They are long lasting and are simple to make. He simply took a cone shaped form, placed it in a white urn and using glue, covered the form with unshelled nuts like almonds, pecans, chestnuts. (above and below)

My favorite of everything featured here is this nut covered topiary. Love it and love the fact you can use it for many years!

    What beautifully decorated fireplaces…except for the nuts laying loose on the mantle. Looks like something sloppy my husband might leave around. But everything else is so elegant, yet cozy.

    Merry Christmas to you, Coco.

    They’re all beautiful, but I really love the third one. The surround itself is gorgeous – love the nature-inspired decorations.

    These are all beautiful! I think number 2 is my favorite. I love the lilies and the simple elegance of it. The nut topiaries in the third one are really neat!

I always adore Italian architecture. The estate features stone marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and antique painting. So dreamy! Learn more about Villa Tasca on my blog.
