Embrace Nostalgia with a Feather Christmas Tree
Step back in time and infuse your holiday decor with a touch of vintage charm by opting for a stunning feather tree instead of a traditional evergreen.
This design gained popularity in American department stores during the early 1900s, and we believe it’s a delightful addition to your current holiday decorating repertoire. To fully embrace the retro theme, consider adorning the feather tree with antique ornaments, which you can uncover in secondhand stores, flea markets, and garage sales. For a truly authentic touch, we used glass ornaments in enchanting shades of green, bronze, and silver, evoking the timeless beauty of Christmases past.
Elegant Icicle Christmas Tree: A Frosty Themed Delight
For those who appreciate a well-coordinated holiday theme, this straightforward yet captivating creation is tailor-made for you.
While we’ve chosen an ice-blue lucite tree for this exquisite design, you can replicate the same look by assembling acrylic dowel rods in a similar shape. Deck out the artificial conifer with gleaming icicle ornaments and shimmering silver baubles, bringing to life the serene charm of a winter wonderland.
To crown off this nature-inspired masterpiece, place a dazzling star tree topper atop the tree, completing the vision of a truly enchanting and frost-kissed Christmas celebration.
