Decking out an evergreen tree for Christmas dates back to the 16th century, and remains a treasured holiday tradition around the world. Here in the Nordics, lush spruces grace many a home come December (although some festive spirits put up theirs already in November), bathing spaces in that nostalgic, oh-so-crisp scent (unless a faux tree), standing ready to cradle the gifts that gather beneath their branches.
There’s something inherently therapeutic about adorning your Christmas tree with your favourite baubles and ornaments – not unlike dressing yourself in sparkly jewellery. The best part? When it comes to decorating your spruce, you can let your imagination run wild: there are no rights or wrongs here. Yes, pair those velvet dog ornaments with electric purple spheres. Of course you can combine glossy Prada baubles with candy-cane-shaped numbers.
While the Nordic approach often leans towards ‘less is more’, holiday tastes across our region just as often embrace the traditional and the elaborate – such is the case for the Christmas tree, whose one true purpose is to spark joy. The common thread, however, is quality and longevity, with beautiful materials and designs favoured over tinsel or disposable décor.
So if your Christmas decorations cupboard recently greeted you with emptiness, or you’re simply looking to refresh your tree trinkets, below, Vogue Scandinavia has curated the ultimate edit of playful, elegant and eye-catching ornaments to shop this season.
