Christmas brings with it a unique atmosphere of celebration and joy, and the desire to decorate your garden and the interior of your home is strong. The only watchword is originality!
Lots of ideas and creative ideas, but where to start? Obviously, from the Christmas tree. After choosing the tree that reflects your style needs and goes well with the home environment it will embellish, you need to choose the right decorations.
An infinite sea in which it is difficult to navigate and which often with its high waves loaded not with white foam, but with various bows and rosettes, can really put us in serious danger, flooding the mind with so many ideas.
What does this mean? You don’t really know what to choose, and the risk of creating a less harmonious environment is high. So, let’s go step by step and start right from the Christmas balls.
Christmas balls: original but not too much…
The bare branches of your Christmas tree will soon have to support the weight of beautiful balls, which will make it chic and beautiful to look at. To choose the right balls, without creating an unpleasant detachment with the rest of the decorations and the same interior decor (consider the Christmas tree as a new piece of furniture that for about 15 days will be part of the living room or any other room) follow your tastes, but don’t indulge in a fantasy without a minimum of rules.
Choosing the original Christmas balls does not necessarily mean placing something on the branches of the tree that is destined to be noticed in its solitude, but that must approach the Christmas style of the house. There are many original ideas that you can choose, and it is not difficult to find the right decoration that completes the domestic Christmas picture.
Christmas balls: which to choose?
Let’s try to answer this question and let’s enter the world of the most beautiful Christmas balls, between style, originality, and that classic touch that never tires.
Why is it so difficult to choose? Glass balls, glittered, with beads or flashy sequins, wooden, transparent, and small details inside them, handmade. Did you understand why it is so difficult to choose? And we haven’t touched on the color theme!
In any case, to choose the right Christmas balls, it is possible to follow fashion. As in the world of clothing, also in the Christmas decorations sector, we talk about trends. Ask yourself: what are the colors of winter this year? Here, next to the classic (and immortal) total white, red, gold and silver balls, many other colors will also appear that perhaps lend themselves well to being inserted in your home environment.
For those, on the other hand, who want to stand out in an elegant and alternative way, the wooden Christmas balls, the handmade ones, and the glass ones represent the perfect decoration for your tree.
The most popular types of Christmas balls
Among the many spherical decorations used to transform the Christmas tree into a real masterpiece of style, there are two types of balls that occupy the first place on the podium of the most popular decorations. The bronze medal was won by the most classic balls, that is, those made with quality materials and painted with the colors that most reflect the Christmas tradition.
The first two places of this coveted podium of decorations were conquered by elements with a unique and simple design, but, which manage to best express the concept of magical and refined elegance.
The silver medal was won, without too much effort, by the hand-decorated Christmas balls, capable of creating a joyful atmosphere throughout the house. Different materials are used for their realization, but this doesn’t matter, because their great value is reflected in the detail.
It is the decoration, which on plastic, fabric, or other material, always manages to enchant young and old. Lots of different motifs and patterns, but one purpose: to obtain an impeccable style for a surprising and original final result. Hand-made decorations can be recognized, and it is impossible, as well as wrong, to compare them to industrial aesthetic processes.
In their simplicity and small nuances, sometimes not quite perfect, they retain their immense value. With the hand-decorated balls, it is possible to embellish a tree with the utmost originality, personalizing the decorations, leaving your imagination free to fly.
The gold medal could only be worn by the queens of elegant decorations: the glass Christmas balls. A super deserved first place, since we are not talking about simple decorations to hang randomly on the branches of the Christmas firs, but real jewels. Precious balls, light and delicate, worn by the Christmas tree as splendid ornaments with great aesthetic value.
They match virtually any decoration, although it is always recommended to use them as a decorative detail for modern environments or where the dominant colors are not the warm ones. Finely crafted and perfect in their minimal design line or the variants with handmade Christmas decorations. Opaque glass or blown glass? It doesn’t matter, because their beauty is always unmatched.
Why do balls hang from the tree? Traditions and legends of Christmas
Are you all ready to decorate the Christmas tree with imagination and style? Yes? Very well, it’s time to start choosing among the most beautiful Christmas balls, so as not to be caught unprepared the last days before the holidays. We have to open a small parenthesis, right on the decorations. Why do Christmas baubles hang from a fir? Impossible that this question has never touched your Christmas thoughts.
Let’s start from the Middle Ages, when the so-called ” Tree of Paradise “, covered with apples, was placed in the courtyards of churches. The apple as a symbol of temptation, the tree of life as a symbol of the birth of Christ.
Thus the tradition of bringing home, just for the Christmas holidays, fir trees decorated with simple apples spread. From apples, we moved on to sweets, to then start hanging almost anything, first of all, beautiful handcrafted decorations.
Time passed, and the decorations for the Christmas tree continued to vary between more classic creations and elements that reflected the values and symbols chosen by the new society. At the same time, the fruits remained the most-used decorations. All this to make it clear that the custom of decorating the tree has ancient origins, but why the balls?
To answer this question, we have to go back to 1858. A great drought-hit central and northern Europe, and the trees, which were usually used as a symbol of Christmas, were not covered in green, nor were fruit to decorate the trees. Bare branches.
A glassblower from Goetzenbruck had a brilliant idea: to create glass spheres to be used in place of apples and other natural decorations that were normally used. Small spheres, beautiful and elegant, which captured the attention of an entire continent, becoming the perfect and most-used decoration for Christmas trees.
There is also another legend about Christmas balls. A very poor street artist went to the stable where the baby Jesus was born. He wanted to greet the Savior and pay homage, but he had no gift to offer. He began to spin the colored balls that he usually used for his street shows.
By doing what he used to do for a living, he entertained people; he even managed to make the Baby Jesus laugh. It is said that the tradition of hanging Christmas balls from the tree was born at that moment, to remember forever the joyful laughter of little Jesus.
