Cheryl Michaelsen, owner of the hotel's, has spent a great time researching Victorian Christmas decorations and traditions, and holiday season guests to Berry Manor
Inn will have the opportunity to see and experience a Victorian-style Christmas celebration. If you want to add a touch of Victorian elegance to your own Christmas
ornament this year, Michaelsen offers these five decoration suggestions:
1. Cover the top of a tablecloth with boughs of vegetables. Tasting and adjust the pineapples, oranges, apples, pomegranates and berries or grapes to create beautiful
colors. Use the search box or styrofoam blocks (stored by plants) to fix the results of different heights. Enhance arrangement with pearly beads, tassels and ribbons.
2. Set up a grouping of five to seven like-colored column candles in different blocks of wood at different heights on a tablecloth. Vegetable wrap around them, and one
white light around the greens. Unify the lights around the candles to create a glow of light. It is attractive especially if you have mirrored mantle or put a antique
glass gauze behind the candles.
3. A beautiful, simple cloth repairs can create by showing gold-sprayed pine cones the greens with white light in the mixed everywhere. For a display of a color, add
the wake gold ribbon across the top with different loops and dips, or put some gold Cherubs amid the greens. For a burst of color, add a grouping of red cardinals,
peacock feathers or a spray of silk roses to one side of the gauze.
4. Create a beautiful Victorian Christmas tree with garlands of pearls, silk roses, birds and feathered clip-on candles. Burgundy, pink and white color should
predominate.
5. Do not forget to dress the front stairs in Victorian splendor, often one of the first things guests see holiday. This is the perfect setting for a lavish display of plants, garlands, wide burgundy ribbons and ornaments.

Christmas tree surrounded by a theme. For example, in my bedroom, trim the roses and angels. My small Christmas tree with ornaments Angel with babys breath. In my
grandchildren's room, I have a small Christmas tree with antique ornaments Micky and Minnie. You can use your imagination in many different ways.
Victorian Christmas tree
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert did not create the custom of a decorated tree, but thanks to them, has become one of the best traditions of the time. Actually the
evergreen trees of symbols is a lot older than the Victorian era. It is truly symbol made a Europe during the Middle Ages. Anyone will be the first to bring a tree
indoors and decorated it, in the middle of the 17th century, the custom cutting of small trees and adorning them with homemade trinkets, apples and cookies are
prominent in Germany. As early as 1605, the visitor of a remembered seeing a tree decorated with apples, gilded candies, paper roses and thin wafers.
In the early 19th century, German-style Christmas trees are decorated with apples, cookies and the gold and silver strands of hair known as "angel's", which is found

Later the traditional Christmas Tree in America are decorated with strings of popcorn, or slices of dried apple, paper chains, cotton batting Santas and paper doilies.
