Buying Christmas branches at The Christmas Shop
What are Christmas branches? Christmas branches, also called picks or sprays, are decorative stems you tuck between the branches of your tree, wreath or table piece. Most are made of artificial materials with a wire core, dressed with berries, leaves, pine cones or glitter, so you can reuse them year after year. They are the finishing touch that pulls your tree together. At The Christmas Shop you'll find picks and sprays from brands like Decoris, Kurt S. Adler and Everlands, from glittering leaves to branches with pine cones or red berries. You're welcome to browse the full range in our Christmas shop in Delft too.
Artificial Christmas branches that last for years
Artificial Christmas branches have a big advantage: they never drop a needle and stay lovely season after season. The realistic versions are hard to tell from the real thing, with felt or fabric leaves and pine cones finished in a golden haze. Pack them away after the holidays and simply bring them out again next year. That's how you slowly build a set of Christmas ornaments and branches that belong together.
Christmas branches on the tree
On the tree, Christmas branches do most of the heavy lifting. Use them alongside your tree decorations as a base and you'll fill the tree with fewer baubles while still getting that full, playful look. Branches with pine cones or faux greenery give an artificial tree a more natural feel, while the protruding stems add depth. Bend them gently outwards and your tree looks instantly fuller.
Christmas branches in a vase or table piece
Christmas branches in a vase might be the easiest festive decoration there is. Pop a few stems with berries or shimmering leaves into a tall glass vase and you've got a centrepiece in one move. They work beautifully in a table arrangement too, paired with a candle or a little loose greenery. For the dining table, a low, wide bowl with a handful of branches looks wonderful.
Gold, white and glitter Christmas branches
Gold, white and glitter Christmas branches set the tone for your whole tree. For a classic look, go for warm tones with red berries or pine cones. If you're after something more elegant, gold branches with gemstones or white stems give a serene, frosty feel. Match them with a coordinating tree topper and your tree follows one line from top to bottom.
