Introduction


Nothing says glamour and sophistication like the rich combination of black, gold, and silver in a holiday design. My Signature Black & Gold Majestic Christmas Tree is all about luxury, depth, and sparkle, creating a regal and breathtaking statement in any space.


If you love bold elegance, rich metallics, and a high-end designer aesthetic, this tree is for you!

In this blog, I’ll take you through my step-by-step process for designing the Black & Gold Majestic Signature Piece, from the perfect ornaments to the finishing touches that make this tree a true showstopper.


The Foundation: Selecting the Right Tree


The base of the Black & Gold Majestic tree is key to setting the tone for this luxurious design. I recommend:  


7.5 ft Pre-lit Flocked King of Christmas Tree prepped and ready to be transformed
7.5 Pre-lit Flocked Christmas Tree




  • A full, pre-lit black tree – Creates a deep, dramatic background for metallics to shine.  

  • A heavily flocked tree – If you prefer a snow-kissed effect, the white flocking enhances gold and silver accents beautifully.  *This is what I used.

  • A tall and grand tree – This theme looks stunning on larger trees (7.5’ or taller) for a true regal effect.  

  • *What I used. A good quality tree – This stunning tree is from King of Christmas. A good tree means it will last a long time and for a flocked tree, it means little mess to clean up like with other brands.






Pro Tip:  Choose warm white lights rather than cool-toned LEDs. They complement gold décor and create an inviting glow.

The Color Palette: Balancing Gold, Black & Silver


This design is rich, bold, and perfectly balanced, with each color playing a key role:  


  • Black – The deep foundation that makes gold pop.  

  • Gold – The main star, adding warmth and opulence.  

  • Silver – The perfect accent to soften and brighten the bold contrast.  


Pro Tip:  Keep gold as the dominant metallic, with silver used as an accent to break up the darkness and add dimension.

Luxe Ribbons & Textiles for Depth


Ribbons add movement and elegance to the tree. I use:  


Using several different color/textures of wired ribbon is key for a luxe tree
Wired Ribbon in different colors and textures





  • Black velvet ribbon – Deep, matte contrast to metallic accents.  

  • Gold mesh wired ribbon – Reflects light beautifully and adds warmth.  

  • Black and Gold wired ribbon – Lightens up the overall design while adding texture.  











Pro Tip:  Use a crisscross layering technique instead of spiraling ribbon around the tree. Tuck loops into branches at varying depths for a cascading effect.

Statement Ornaments & Embellishments


To make Black & Gold Majestic truly regal and dramatic, I use a mix of:  


Stunning oversized glass silver ornaments trimmed in black and gold add depth and texture to your tree.
Large Glass Gold and Black Bauble





  • Oversized gold and black baubles – The larger the ornaments, the grander the look!  

  • Gold filigree and baroque-style ornaments – Adds a touch of Old Hollywood glamour.  

  • Touches of Silver ornaments – Enhances shimmer and creates an elegant contrast.  

  • Black and gold picks – A luxurious, unexpected detail that softens the look.  

  • Gold magnolia or black poinsettia floral picks – Fills gaps and adds depth.  







Pro Tip:  Place larger ornaments deeper into the tree and layer smaller, detailed ones toward the edges for a designer-styled effect.

The Showstopping Tree Topper


This tree deserves a dramatic, grand topper to complete the luxurious look. I love to use:  


The Signature Black and Gold Majestic Christmas Tree Topper filled with stunning black gold and silver sprays creating a festive display.
Luxe Black, Gold & Silver Tree Topper





  • A grand gold and black bow – Layer multiple wired ribbons for a stunning statement.  

  • Black and Gold stems & sprays – Adds height and elegance.  

  • Silver Feathers – To catch light from every angle.  











Pro Tip:  Instead of using just one item for the topper, combine multiple elements (bows, picks, sprays) to create a full, multi-dimensional crown for the tree.

The Finishing Touch of My Signature Black & Gold Majestic Christmas Tree


To complete the look, I style the tree base with:  


Our Signature Black and Gold Majestic Tree beautifully decorated with unique pieces of black and gold glass ornaments, several different ribbons, black and gold poinsettias, picks and sprays and touches of silver plus a gorgeous metallic tree skirt sparkling with snowflakes brings the magic to life.
Our Signature Black and Gold Majestic Tree





  • Gold and black gift boxes – Chic, monochrome wrapping enhances the theme.  

  • Mirrored or metallic accent décor – Placed around the base for extra shimmer.  

  • * What I used. A black faux fur or gold sequin tree skirt – Adds warmth and elegance.  










Pro Tip:  Stack decorative gift boxes in different heights and patterns to create a designer-styled tree base instead of a tree skirt or collar.
