I don’t know about you all, but when we envision a vintage Christmas, it’s an eclectic paradise! The ideal aesthetic for those of you who are true-blue maximalists! This Christmas vibe is tailor-made for individuals who adore vibrant colors and a touch of eclecticism. Back in the 80s and 90s, Christmas trees were decked out with tinsel, adorable figurines, and a riot of brightly shining colors.

Embrace a playful mix of colors and patterns, hunt for vintage glassware and plates, and don’t shy away from injecting some funk into the festivities!

A Traditional Christmas

The enduring charm of Christmas, dressed in the classic green and red palette, has a rich history spanning centuries and continues to be a beloved tradition that graces homes far and wide. We are big fans of this timeless aesthetic, that gives homes a touch of the classic green and red, adorned with subtle gold accents each year.

For those who might consider it a bit “old-fashioned,” let us share a thought. The beauty of the classic style lies in its adaptability, allowing us to breathe new life into it time and again. In our professional opinion, introducing a touch of metal, such as gold or silver, is an essential element when embracing this traditional aesthetic. Feel free to explore your creative side by experimenting with bows, greenery, flowers, and ornaments on your table. In this classic theme, there’s ample room for you to inject your own unique creative touch!

The serene vibes of a winter landscape explain why this aesthetic is a go-to choice for many during the holiday season. What we really appreciate about this style is how versatile it can be.

The beauty of it all is in the mix of colors and themes that can be blended to capture the enchantment of winter. Creative folks enjoy playing with a palette of pink, blue, white, silver, and gold, infusing this aesthetic with life. It’s like having a canvas to create a scene of glamour and beauty! You’ll often find elements like furs, feathers, glass, and glitter adorning the winter wonderland tablescape, providing a lush backdrop for imaginative minds to work their magic.
