Lanterns Inside Christmas Tree

Marsha2003 · ‎03-12-2010

I went to our local garden center's Christmas opening this week and they had an interesting concept. They put large lanterns inside the Christmas tree. This is the only picture I could find, but the tree had five or six of these large lanterns in it, each with a different scene inside.

That's different, I haven't seen that before. Has a little bit of a country look to it.

I like it but for me it looks old world colonial times.

Wow, they start early there, don't they. Christmas is twelve weeks away. Regarding the lanterns, you'd need a large tree for that. It might be interesting for one year but after that I'd revert to traditional ornaments.

I like the lanterns and it would definitely add interest to a large tree. They do have a lot of other ornaments on the tree as well. I enjoy looking at all the different ways to decorate the trees. Thanks for posting the pictures, Marsha.

Marsha, loving the pic & anything that has to do with giving me another reason to get another lantern, lol. How beautiful that tree is. I'm especially loving the rustic look of that lantern. I'm watching a set/3 red metal lanterns on ebay, so this post feeds right into my lantern passion. Keep the pics coming!

I wish I could have taken pictures, but my iPad had no juice. The picture I posted was taken by a local newspaper photographer. They had another tree that used black or ORB metal lanterns similar to the ones at Pier1 and those older ones from Luminara. Again, they had placed a vignette inside. I thought the whole concept was innovative. I don't know how tall the trees are, but I'm guessing at least 10 feet, maybe more.
