7. Black Baubles + White Lace & Soft Pastel Accents
6
For a softer vintage look, you can soften the black with white lace ribbons or lace-wrapped ornaments, and gentle pastel accent ornaments (pale pinks, soft greens, muted aquas) alongside the black base. This juxtaposition gives a romantic, vintage feel — reminiscent of the early-to-mid 20th century when pastel holiday colours were in vogue, and lace or fabric ribbons were popular in ornamentation.
Tip: Use white lace ribbons to drape or tie through the tree, then hang black ornaments and pastel ones in alternating spacing. Light strands should remain warm white to keep it cohesive.
