Vintage is amazing, it's charming and beautiful! What style can be better for creating a snow fairy-tale then? A vintage Christmas tree will be a centerpiece of your vintage celebration and will give you many positive emotions. Choose vintage decorations – even Victorian style or old watches. An old jewelry tree is always to the point – it won't take much space and will attract attention very well. Make one using burlap, paper, ribbons and garlands; you can even make one of printed music – that looks so sweet! Shabby wooden planks stuck into a tree will give that shabby chic vintage look that excited so much! Even a vintage ladder decorated properly would make a cool alternative to a usual tree, and, of course, with a vintage touch. The best color for vintage trees or decorations is white, the main winter color that always looks amazing. Look for more inspiration below.

Christmas Tree Itself

A usual green Christmas tree is timeless but for creating a stronger vintage feel, a flocked tree, a pure white tree or even a silver or blue one will be better. Flocked Christmas trees are also great, and if you aren't satisfied with the color of your tree, add many ornaments, so you won't see the tree itself – it's characteristic of vintage style.
