Since we are such an international group, I thought someone might be able to
help me with a question. Yesterday I was reading Victoria Magazine and came
across an ad for a set of ornaments for a new bride. There were 12
ornaments and each one represents a good wish for the couple. The ad said
it was a German tradition.
I thought they would make great gifts for my friends who got married this
year, but they were $85 a set! Way out of my budget.
So, I was hoping that someone out there would be able to provide a list of
the ornaments and what they mean. I searched the web to no avail (lots of
sites on international Christmas traditions, but none that mentioned this
one) and didn't have any luck at the local library, either. Then I try to
find the ornaments individually and hopefully for a lot less than $85!
Suggestion? |

So sorry - never heared of this before. It might be that this is one
of those tradiitions which are used in the more southern parts of
Germany... we are quite north... more "sober" not so many traditions
any more.... I'm Canadian, not German, but I just happen to be involved in a group
making "Bride Tree" ornaments for a friend who is getting married. I had
never heard of it before either, but the girl who is organizing it had said
it was a german thing, so it must be the same thing. Here is a list of the
twelve ornaments, and what they mean. |
