1900's Gothic Victorian

Continuing our re-emerging trends throughout the decades, we're going back in time to the early 1900's where the darkly romantic style of the Victorian age is making waves as a new trend in style, literature, and film also known as Steampunk. Re-imagined lace-up boots, corsets, and of course, icons of the steam-powered age are characteristic of the trend, and as you can see from our Gothic Victorian tree, the color palette includes varying metallics in bronze, pewter and brushed silver, deep purples and burgandys.

For our Steampunk tree, we twisted steel-colored mesh ribbon with burgandy satin through the branches and created a topper combining the two ribbons. To continue the theme, we also used the same ribbons on the packages below. Copper colored birds are clipped to the branches along with copper gears in varying sizes, bunches of small purple bulbs and copper metallic blown glass bulbs.






From our ornament collection, we included our matte gold filigree ornaments with Swarovski crystals, bronze filigree dragonflies, bronze owls, bronze filigree diamond photo frames and our pewter, steam-powered train.

Next week, the 1960's Madison Avenue tree.
