EXUBIA CHRISTMAS 2017
Christmas? [ho, ho, ho] Is it really that time of year again? Christmas in the workplace has a tendency towards becoming a forced occasion, with budget trees, corporate colour scheme baubles, and reduced mince pies... LET S MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS MAGICAL! That s why our Christmas trees are unlike you ll find anywhere else! This year we ve been going back to the roots and traditions surrounding Christmas, to create offerings that are traditional, nostalgic and fun. Using the most incredible decorations, some beautiful trees, and a small portion of magic, this Christmas will be...well, just how Christmas should be! 3
THE TREE Our Norway Spruces (the traditional Christmas Tree) are sourced from a specialist grower less than 15 miles from our nursery; for every tree cut another two are planted. Alternatively, you can choose an artificial tree for the same price... although these aren t quite as authentic, they are surprisingly lifelike and guarantee no needle droppage! 5
THE DECORATIONS Remember pressing your nose to an ice-cold shop window in the weeks leading up to Christmas? That feeling of awe as you stare at the decorations and toys? We want to arouse the same feeling as your choose your christmas tree theme this year... Read on to discover our themes...which one will you choose? 5
Traditional Tartan Glasses of mulled wine by an open fire. Heavy tartan fabrics and lots of softly flickering candles. The scent of cinnamon lies heavy in the air, mixed with the sharp tang of cranberries. This Christmas tree theme is all about enjoying the traditional festive season, full of warmth and vibrancy. A natural tree is filled to bursting with cranberry rings, presents, ribbon, snowmen, robins and stags, and all manner of traditional ornaments... all in a red/gold/tartan colour palette with golden lights... Cue jolly laughter, mincy pies and christmas carols. 7
White Christmas Silently, the last snowflakes settle on the branches of this beautiful flocked tree. The air is icy, but still. Pure, white snow softly coats the land. Pure, apart from the stacatto prints of a postcard robin. This Christmas tree theme is all about appreciating the beauty and simplicity of nature at wintertime. Dripping icicles, snowflakes, feathers, birds and other nature-inspired decorations feature in a white/neutral colour palette... there is something serence, minimalist and peaceful about this tree, complemented by the subtle glow of golden fairy lights. 9
Forest Fires are crackling in the hearth and warm tones of woodland and nature feature heavily in this tree. Feathers, birds, fircones and natural finishes, blend with twinkling golden fairy lights. This tree will add a perfect back to nature appeal to your space. With the lush green foliage of the tree playing prominently, and complemented by natural textures and metallic touches, this theme is inspired by the heart of a forest, but has a cosy, indulgent twist to it. Hot chocolate, anyone? 11
Ice Cold Shivering amongst icicles and snowflakes, this theme introduces silvery blues and whites to keep a crisp, cool and ethereal atmosphere. With flocked green foliage and hints of gold, this theme just pulls you back from freezing, and instead leaves you shivering with the numbing magic of the sight. Adorned with nature s finesse once again, but this time on the silvery, other-wordly side of nature - the one that s covered in snow and ice. 13
Nutcracker As the opening bars of the Nutcracker ballet play on a crackling radio, bursts of colour and life clash and dance around the tree. Exciting, colourful, and toyshop-like, this theme takes traditional Christmas and wakes it up. Nostaglic and heavily inspired by the Nutcracker ballet, this tree reminds you of pressing your face to an ice-cold toy shop window, in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Multi-coloured lights on a natural tree, and ornate toy-themed decorations - there is something quality and majestic about what might be deemed a childish tree... one could almost imagine the toys coming to life at night... Did we just say that? 15
Regal Using deep purples and luxury metallic ornaments, dripping with opulence and excessive glamour, this Christmas tree theme is wonderfully rich and dramatic. Featuring crowns, ribbons and peacock-inspired feathers and decorations, one can imagine this stately tree preening itself with a confident smugness. Undoubtedly better suited to some imposing stone castle on a cliff, the regal feel of this theme can bring grandeur to any space, and will likely result in upturned noses and swishing silk gowns. 17
Gingerbread House Candy coated and gingerbread themed, all that this tree is missing is a crowd of estatic children dancing around it. Golden lights twinkle amongst this fairy tale mess of sugary sweet decorations, based on an artificial flocked (or covered in icing sugar, as we prefer to think of it) tree. Our decorators have been known to lick their fingers, as they step back from the finished masterpiece... 19
Gold Freshly touched by Midas, this tree is coated in gold bells, feathers, birds, snowflakes and all manner of ornate baubles. Glittering decedantly, the theme is based on a traditional tree, but elevated to dizzy heights of sophistication through it s monochrome gold colourway. Elements of glass and white gold also feature to add extra depth and sparkle to the tree. It s warm and comfortable tones mean it will fit into nearly any interior and can t fail to impress! 21
