GALLOPING INTO 2026: THE YEAR OF THE HORSE

About the design:

For this high end custom Vickerman Christmas tree project, our inspiration stemmed from the 2026 Chinese zodiac animal—the horse. Our residential client desired a bold and dramatic centerpiece that would embody the elegance and symbolism of the year’s theme. The theme of the design is a masterfully crafted equestrian motif, sparking energy and elegance. Composed of an assortment of Vickerman decorations, a Vickerman tree, the design features varying textures and styles, including additional design elements like a chess board, Harrods London hat topper, Hermes pieces, etc. Gold, brown and deep brass accents were used throughout with shimmering sequins. This creates a visually dynamic and lifelike effect that embodies the strength and elegance of the horse. The rest of the tree is adorned in a gold, warm palette, using luminous decorations from Vickerman. From the tree, to the tree ornaments and decorations, to the accessories used around our client's home, we invested heavily into just Vickerman products for this design!
