Victorian Christmas Wreaths

Not quite the same as we know them today, Victorian greenery would have been more natural, and subtle, like the examples here.

 There’s always something to be said about building your own, if you’re crafty enough. Check out our DIY Christmas Home Decor section for lots of tips.

Victorian Christmas Tree Candles

In Victorian Era the tradition of decorating Christmas Trees became really popular – and before the modern invention of fairy lights, small candles were affixed to the branches. If you wish to recreate the look, you have the option to risk the fire hazard, Christmas Tree Candles are still available to buy.

Luckily there are companies that make fire-safe versions of these iconic Victorian Christmas decorations.

Victorian Christmas Garlands

Usually made from dried flower, leaves, twigs and even dried fruits, modern recreations of these victorian Christmas decorations are stunning, and a brilliant addition to any home decor for the season, if if not strictly Victorian themed.

The Etsy creator of the garland above even sells a “Make Your Own Dried Fruit Garland” kit if you’re more the DIY type.

Victorian Christmas Stockings

While not strictly Victorian, when you add a rustic stocking above a mantle to a Victorian theme you certainly invoke a very olde-time feel. We suggest going with natural fabrics like Linen, Burlap, Plaid or Wool.
