DIY Victorian Christmas with the Dresden Star Elves

Inspired by Victorian Christmas’ more humble beginnings with paper decorations and boughs of evergreens illuminated only by candlelight, Dresden Star Ornaments brings you into their Victorian home to show you how they decorated for Christmas. Learn how to create a magical mid-19th century tree, create cranberry and nut garlands, and adorn your mantle and light fixtures with your own evergreen garlands.

I love the layered silver tip trees… what is this one a noble?

Noble fir or silver tip tree ?

What kind of tree is that? I like all the space between the branches.
