XXL Easter eggs in Kozienice,  i.e. creative urban activities

Although Easter time has just passed, in some places we can still admire amazing Easter decorations. It turns out that more and more local communities are becoming very creative when it comes to decorating their urban spaces. This season, the Kozienice Municipality also took on such a challenge, and we have to admit that the result is simply stunning!



XXL fiberglass eggs as a canvas for local artists

As we mentioned in the previous article, residents have many possibilities when it comes to painting XXL Easter eggs. In some towns the eggs were decorated by kindergarten children, in others by local professional artists. It was no different in Kozienice — the local community joined forces and prepared the urban space for the coming Easter.

XXL Easter eggs in the Kozienice Municipality were made by younger and older residents, including local artists.

Decorating Easter eggs was a social act and art materials were donated by the Mayor of Kozienice — Piotr Kozłowski.

We love this creative approach to decorating urban space—it serves all residents, and such actions certainly support establishing closer relations among neighbors. Beautifully painted eggs in the Kozienice Municipality delight everyone, which is why we strongly encourage you to visit the town and maybe even… join the action next year?

Thank you very much for the photos and congratulations to all the artists!




Innovations for spring 2023 — Easter decorations made of dibond

As the winter months slowly fade into oblivion, we begin to look for the first signs of spring. We track the first spring flowers, buds on trees and singing birds — cities finally take on more colors! So it’s the perfect time to prepare for the arrival of Easter and decorate the city with beautiful Easter elements. This year, new decorations made of dibond appeared on the market, the material that stands out from others with its durability. What are its main features? Check below!

Dibond — what is it?

Dibond is a modern composite material that consists of several aluminum layers. These layers are connected by a polyethylene core, which makes dibond durable and lightweight. Therefore, it can be used in the production of various products. Another advantage of this material is its durability, which is why it can be used outdoors. Resistant to weather conditions, dibond has already been appreciated by architects, engineers and decorators, who take advantage of it to create various arrangements in public spaces. All these assets make dibond a great alternative to PVC boards. What’s more, the polyethylene used for the production of dibond comes from recycling, which is certainly a great advantage nowadays.

Decorations made of dibond are also light and easy to transport. They can be covered with different colors, and their surface can also have a different structure. Thanks to this, dibond has a wide range of applications and can be modified to meet the needs of each client.

Dibond board — application

Dibond is primarily used for the production of various public architecture elements — these can be e.g., coffers, advertising stands or shop signs. The dibond board works great in these conditions, because it retains its durability for a long time and, if the board is properly covered with color, it will not fade over time. Various companies have decided to change the existing PVC advertising boards to more modern boards, made of dibond. First of all, this is motivated by durability, and thus, a lot of savings, because decorations do not have to be changed every season. Dibond elements will work well for years. What’s more, the dibond board can be cut with various patterns or inscriptions that will perfectly emphasize the character of any place or special occasion.

Easter decorations 2023 made of dibond

Dibond Easter decorations may become a new trend this season. Eggs made of this material will be resistant to any weather conditions and will perfectly color the urban space. They will also work well as advertisements in hotels or restaurants.

In Terra Easter’s offer, you will find various patterns of 2D and 3D eggs — what’s the difference? 2D eggs are flat, so they can be used in different ways. Depending on your preferences, you can decorate a selected wall with them or mount them on a stand. 3D decorations take up a bit more space, so it is worth planning in advance where we are going to place them. Such eggs will attract the attention of passers-by and will color the public space. What’s more, when ordering such an egg, you can choose a personalized printout — this way you can easily get a beautiful decoration that will also become a showcase of your company, hotel, or restaurant. Easter wishes printed on the surface of the egg will pleasantly surprise all customers, and as we know, their satisfaction is the most important thing!

Big, bigger or gigantic – what size of outdoor Christmas baubles should you choose?

Outdoor Christmas baubles are remarkable Christmas decorations that appear more and more often in the city centres, squares and along promenades. These types of decorations give a wide range of possibilities when it comes to arranging the space, especially since you can choose from four sizes of Christmas balls. To make your decision easier, we have prepared a short guide that will tell you what size of XXL baubles will be the best.

Four sizes of outdoor Christmas baubles

The very name of these unique Christmas decorations indicates that you will be dealing with the XXL format. Large TerraChristmas baubles are about 10 times larger than standard Christmas tree decorations. Thanks to this, they look marvellous individually when placed on a stand, but also in groups, arranged in a special pyramid, suspended from a tree or the ceiling. There are many ways to use them and if you add four more sizes to it, the wide selection can make you dizzy. That is why in this text we will present you projects showing all sizes of outdoor Christmas baubles.

Available diameters of outdoor Christmas baubles:

  • 60 cm,
  • 80 cm,
  • 100 cm,
  • 120 cm.

The 20 cm difference in diameter may seem insignificant, but when you put the smallest and largest outdoor Christmas baubles together, it turns out to be quite large.

An outdoor Christmas baubles with a diameter of 120 cm is the largest variant. Perfect as a dominant in Christmas compositions, but due to its size, it will do a wow effect even when placed individually! The bauble will look especially good in large open spaces, in front of the entrance to the building. A considerable size is a great advantage if you want to display a sticker with your own coat of arms, logo or Christmas wishes.

Just right – a oversized bauble with a diameter of 100 cm

A large 100 cm bauble is the most frequently chosen option. No wonder, as it suits virtually any Christmas project. Whether in the form of a pyramid in the city centre or freely scattered decorative spheres in the square, it will also look beautiful under the city Christmas tree, combined with other sizes of outdoor Christmas baubles. As in the case of the largest variant, the glued graphics will also be perfectly visible and certainly no one will miss them.

Small is beautiful – oversized baubles with a diameter of 80 and 60 cm

Although baubles with a diameter of 80 and 60 cm from TerraChristmas are much bigger than the traditional decorations hung on Christmas trees, they belong to the category of small decorations intended for public spaces. They look splendid together in large numbers, e.g. in a pyramid or as an addition to a bigger Christmas composition, both outside and inside. Moreover, an x-mas ball with a diameter of 60 cm is perfect for hanging on trees. This idea allows you to create a remarkable urban Christmas decoration.

Mix freely – get a special oversized Christmas decoration

Big outdoor Christmas baubles offer really enormous possibilities in creating Christmas arrangements. You can choose one or several sizes, a color or individually designed stickers. Regardless of the final decision, you will always be sure that all the elements will harmonize perfectly with each other and the decoration will be remembered by everyone. In the next year, you can arrange them differently or buy a few more pieces to get a completely new look. Thanks to this, your Christmas composition will never get bored, which is extremely important because large baubles are very durable and will serve you for many years.

Openwork decorations – how to create a Christmas atmosphere in the city?

A traditional Christmas tree, a shimmering star, a ball of fresh snow – these are one of the favorite Christmas symbols. Openwork decorations decorate private interiors as well as gardens, and their enormous popularity means that they appear more and more often in public spaces. Why is it worth choosing this type of Christmas decorations? What is the secret of their magical appearance? What forms are available and where do they look best? If you like openwork decorations, you will find answers to all your questions in this post .

Openwork decorations also for cities

Openwork decorations that evoke a magical Christmas atmosphere in interiors are most often made of wicker or plywood. However, such materials, although they are perfect at home, are not able to meet the challenges outside. Therefore, openwork decorations for cities should be made of very durable, moisture-resistant or frost-resistant material, which also is plastic enough to form various shapes. Otherwise, there is a risk that they will not last even one season.

giant-wire-sphare-made-of-fiberglass
Wire sphare made of fiberglass looks beautiful, durable and easy to clean.

Fortunately, the TerraChristmas brand has managed to find material, known in many industries, which is ideal for the production of openwork decorations – meaning fiberglass. Thanks to it, Christmas decorations can decorate open spaces without the slightest damage, even in the most difficult weather conditions. The structure is durable as well as light  and it will certainly look like new for many years. But let’s start from the beginning…

How are openwork decorations made?

The magic of Christmas begins already in the production process, where individual “threads” of fiberglass are immersed in a resin bath, thanks to which they become so plastic that they can be shaped in any form. If you are wondering why openwork decorations look so good, we will tell you a secret. In addition to the extremely original lace form, they have something special. Each piece is handcrafted with only little support from the machines. Thanks to this approach, each openwork decoration is one of a kind.

The plastic material allows to create Christmas decorations in the shapes associated with the Christmas period. In the TerraChristmas collection you will find: wire sphare, openwork ornaments, a cone Christmas tree and a star.

Openwork decorations – we’re gonna say yes to them!

A Christmas tree has been standing on the highest podium of Christmas city decorations for many years now. The next place is occupied by Christmas illuminations, and right behind them there are giant ornaments that are gaining more and more popularity. Nevertheless, openwork decorations have great potential, too.

Why is it worth choosing openwork decorations?

  1. Openwork decorations guarantee a beautiful effect – the variety of available elements makes the created arrangement original and unique. The possibilities are endless!
  2. Lace work – handicraft has been the most desirable thing on the list of Christmas gifts. The openwork decorations made by the work of human hands are unique and each can have something really special.
  3. Christmas ornament in your favorite color – openwork decorations most often come in white, which harmonizes well with the winter aura, but if you care about a unique Christmas composition, nothing stands in the way of lace baubles, cones and stars to take on a bit more expressive colors like red, blue, pink, green or yellow.
  4. Production under control – openwork decorations are made in accordance with a patented method – patent number 10-2005-060-554, IPC: B29C 70/24 (2006.01), and are additionally reinforced with borosilicate glass in accordance with DIN 1295.
  5. The openwork decorations are made of fireproof fiberglass, therefore, they can also beautify closed spaces and will not contribute to any accidents or losses.
  6. The durability of the used materials guarantees that the openwork decorations do not change their form for many seasons, and the need for maintenance is kept to a minimum.
  7. The openwork decorations, despite their size, remain light. Thanks to this, they can be easily transported, no large machines will be needed for assembly, and the stars as well as  openwork baubles are perfect for hanging.

Christmas in full splendor

Openwork decorations make an electrifying impression during the day when everyone can admire their unique construction. In the evening, when it gets dark, they can also be the main attraction. You only need to choose the variant with additional Christmas tree lights. It will make the Christmas the decorations eye-catching at any time of the day. The illuminated openwork decoration looks magical and is equal to other popular Christmas illuminations.

Christmas tree lights added to the wire sphares make the ornaments look great at night.

Openwork decorations in practice

Undoubtedly, openwork decorations can become the number one among city Christmas decorations, but if you are not convinced about it, we have prepared several projects that will prove they are worth trying.

Openwork snow ball

Airy, openwork decorations in the shape of sphare are a great idea for a composition inspired by baubles or snowballs. Low weight makes it easy to suspend them from the ceiling. Such an idea will be perfect for shopping centers or public buildings.

The wire sphare can function well as a standing decoration. Despite its round shape, it is enough to properly secure the ball to prevent it from rolling over to another place. The TerraChristmas brand offers a frame dedicated to this element.

A cone Christmas tree unlike any other

A cone Christmas tree is an alternative to a live tree. A garland imitating real conifer twigs is wrapped on the steel structure. The openwork version will surely appeal to all those who are looking for decorations resembling Christmas symbols, but in a completely different form. In its case, one will not see any green parts. The white lace structure adds lightness and freshness. As a result, it looks good in both closed and open spaces.

The star of Christmas composition

The star – it heralds the most important moment of Christmas. Therefore, it should not be missing among the urban Christmas decorations. An openwork star made of fiberglass can be hung and in this way it is possible to create the impression of a sparkling sky. An interesting solution is to mount the decorations on street lamps – the spatial star perfectly diversifies the winter aura, especially after adding lighting to it!

Openwork baubles in a Christmas pyramid

Openwork elements stimulate our imagination. The round shape is reminiscent of a snow ball, but also a Christmas bauble. If a string is added to the decoration, there will be no more doubts. Although such an original Christmas tree decoration in a large format is impressive, it is worth going a step further. You can create a pyramid from several openwork baubles. The principle is the same as for the giant ornaments.

A family of openwork decorations

As it has long been known, the more the merrier. The rule applies not only to the family table during Christmas Eve, but also to Christmas arrangements. Openwork decorations should be placed next to each other to create a great composition. This solution will work very well in larger spaces where a single ornament will not make any impression. Openwork sphare or Christmas trees can be placed in large pots, so even without plants, they will still have a decorative function.

Openwork decorations – a Christmas shot at 10

Openwork decorations for cities are an impressive combination of tradition and modernity, the work of human hands, and the ingenious use of technology. It is worth using this functionality when arranging Christmas scenery in public spaces and give everyone a really beautiful Christmas!




How to decorate a hotel for Christmas? 4 suggestions to make you shine

Christmas decorations appear in houses, on city streets, but also in restaurants, shopping centers and hotels. While creating a delightful arrangement in your own home is simple and pleasant (as you can find beautiful, atmospheric accessories in every store), in the case of larger spaces, choosing the right Christmas decorations can be a bit more difficult. In this post, we’ll show you how to decorate a hotel, both inside and out.

how-to-decorate-hotels-for-Christmas-pyramid-of-bubbles
Pyramid of Christmas baubles in front of the hotel entrance.

Why is it important to decorate a hotel for Christmas?

More and more families give up traditional Christmas at home in favor of spending them in some other wonderful place. A trip to the mountains, to the sea or other interesting place during the Christmas season is a great opportunity for hotels, apartments or guesthouses.

In order to make the stay of guests more pleasant, it is good to prepare for this period of time. It can be a special menu or additional attractions for children, but the most important aspect is the unique Christmas atmosphere. The easiest way to achieve it is by appropriately decorating the hotel. A large Christmas tree and Christmas lights are necessary, but to really stand out from the rest, it is worth choosing exceptional Christmas decorations.

Decorations in front of the hotel entrance

As a rule, the greatest attention when decorating is given to a reception area and a main hall. In our opinion, the best recommendation of a hotel is a nice entrance to the building and its surroundings. The appearance of external space will certainly affect the first impression of guests, so skipping this part is a real mistake. There are many ways to decorate an entrance to a hotel. If you want to hit the arranging mark, choose Christmas decorations that match character of a building and its size.

If there is a lot of space in front of a hotel entrance, a pyramid made of XXL baubles will be just perfect. This is an extraordinary, large elements that often decorates squares and the Old Town. Such a structure can have three levels (10 single baubles) or two (4 baubles). In addition, you can adjust it to your needs. You can choose the size, color, but also a personalized sticker, e.g. with the name of the hotel, logo or Christmas wishes.

In the case of hotels that have an entrance directly on the street and cannot afford Christmas decorations in the XXL format, we recommend choosing two smaller decorations placed symmetrically on both sides of the door. Our proposal is a figure of a nutcracker or pots with Christmas trees.

Our proposal is a figure of a nutcracker or pots with Christmas trees.

Hotel reception – the perfect place for decorations

The reception is usually the first point of contact between the staff and guests, and there should also be a Christmas atmosphere here. However, it is very important that Christmas decorations do not hinder work or movement. If the place is spacious, a standing XXL bauble with a sticker: “Welcome to the hotel! We wish you a pleasant stay” will be a very good idea.

Christmas-decorations-for-hotels-reception-christmas-balls-with-sticker
A standing bauble at the reception desk will draw the attention of all guests.

However, it will be a bit worse for narrow or tiny spaces. This does not mean that you have to give up this type of decorations. All you have to do is choose a few smaller Christmas balls and hang them from the ceiling. Thanks to this, they will not hinder movement and the effect may exceed all expectations.

Hotel hall – a decorative main point of a hotel

Large space of a main hall is an ideal place for the Christmas cherry on top. The standard is an impressive, marvellously decorated Christmas tree. However, to really use the potential of this place, it is worth paying a little more attention to it. The Christmas tree will look even better when it becomes part of a larger composition. Undoubtedly, it is the fragrant spruce that will play the first violin in the Christmas arrangement, but it is worth placing gifts, decorative balls and openwork stars under it. Such additions will fill the space, but also allow you to cover the rack, which does not always look aesthetically pleasing.

How to decorate a hotel for Christmas? A Christmas tree in the lobby is a must.

If a hall in a hotel is really big, you can have a splurge and choose medium-sized Christmas decorations, such as silver figurines in the shape of candy canes, candies or reindeer, which will perfectly complement the interior in a glamor style. It will be a good idea to place the throne of Santa Claus right next to the Christmas tree, which will certainly encourage guests to take a photo.

Think creatively and highlight your advantages

It is not advisable to decorate guest rooms, because not all of them celebrate Christmas. So what other possibilities are there to decorate a hotel? If you have already decorated all the standard points, it’s time for an individual approach. Think about what distinguishes your place. It can be a modern patio, roof terrace, garden with a view of the mountains.

Each space is an additional chance for special, Christmas decorations. A very interesting option are modular benches with pots and special Christmas covers. This is a great solution that will allow you to rest and enjoy the wonderful views all year round, and in winter it will become an eye-catching decoration.

Christmas decoration compatible pots are an extremely interesting solution for the hotel environment.

The magical atmosphere of Christmas in the hotel

There is no doubt that it is worth taking care of this long-awaited, magical Christmas atmosphere. It is enough to decorate the hotel in a unique way for Christmas to make guests even more satisfied, and this will make them more willing to visit it again, not only in the winter period.

 




Christmas illuminations and the energy crisis – how to create the magic of Christmas without electricity?

What happens with Christmas decorations in public spaces? Will the current world situation and the energy crisis force city authorities to look for savings in the field of Christmas decorations? Rumor has it that the towns are planning to significantly reduce or completely abandon Christmas illuminations. Does this mean that there will not be much-liked and awaited winter atmosphere? Fortunately, we have an idea that will make the public space delightful – it is enough to go for modern Christmas decorations that do not require lighting.

Christmas illuminations and the energy crisis

Electricity prices are alarmingly rising. The increase, already in hundreds of percent, means that both the ordinary people as well as the president, mayors or heads of the municipality must face this problem. A good solution seems to be to reduce electricity consumption in order to face the energy crisis unscathed. No wonder then that cities are looking for savings on electricity which is largely consumed by Christmas illuminations.

christmas-decorations-and-energy-crisis
Christmas illuminations have been an integral part of Christmas for years. Will you have to say goodbye to them?

The decision is really tough because these are decorations that have become a permanent element of the urban landscape. Buildings, trees, and Christmas constructions (Santa’s sleigh, Christmas balls or Igloo) illuminated by lamps have recently become an inseparable element of the most popular places, and the flashing lights enjoyed not only the youngest, but also adult residents and tourists.

Limiting holiday illuminations will certainly have a positive effect on the bills, but it cannot be denied that it will come at the expense of the cosy atmosphere that so many people wait for all year round. We do not envy cities having to make decisions on this topic. However, the lack of Christmas lights does not necessarily mean the lack of Christmas decorations. We have prepared four interesting ideas that will make the space still delightful in this period of time.

Modern Christmas decorations without electricity

It gets dark quickly in winter, which is why glowing Christmas decorations seem to be the best and most effective idea. This is not the only option though. Modern Christmas decorations do not need lamps to shine!

giant-christmas-baubles-on-square
Large baubles placed in various public places are a very interesting Christmas decoration. Pleszew, Poland.

Christmas baubles not only for the Christmas tree

Beautiful round decorations usually appear on Christmas trees. Large X-Mass Balls from TerraChristmas are a completely different scale of decoration. Their huge size means that their use is not limited only to hanging on a Christmas tree. They can be an independent, unique decoration of public spaces. Importantly, XXL baubles in each city may look different, because they are designed on an individual order. Not only does the size, color and finish change, but also the method of installation. Thanks to this, large modern Christmas decorations are perfect for creating Christmas compositions. Here are some examples from different cities:

Rietberg – large Christmas balls scattered around the square

Rietberg surprised the inhabitants with very original decorations for Christmas. Red and silver baubles of various sizes were placed in different parts of the town. There are as many as 25 individual balls and 3 pyramids consisting of 4 baubles. Modern Christmas decorations are placed on durable, steel stands.

Plattling – Christmas baubles tailored to your needs

Four XXL Christmas balls in Plattling were created on the basis of an individual project. Each of them was decorated with Christmas wishes and the emblem of the town. The decorations are placed on decorative steel stands, which have been aesthetically covered with coniferous branches. 

Museum of the Second World War – modernist architecture with modern decorations

The Impressive building of the Second World War Museum in Gdańsk, commissioned in 2017, has been decorated with Christmas elements – two magnificent pyramids consisting of 10 baubles. Each single ball is 80 cm in diameter, so the entire decoration measures as much as 3 meters. Additionally, one of them has a sticker with the museum’s logo on it.

Christmas decorations in an openwork version

Large baubles, cones resembling a Christmas tree and stars, all these elements made of thin but very durable fiberglass strips are another proposal that delights even without lighting. Check out our post about openwork Christmas decorations.

Classic Christmas figures

To avoid the need to illuminate Christmas decorations, it is worth focusing on unique, eye-catching elements. This is what classic XXL Christmas figurines are like. Most often, you can admire the Rudolph reindeer in public spaces, but this is not the only option. Next to the Christmas tree a statue of St. Nicholas, preferably one on a 1: 1 scale, will look great (the largest images of a friendly gentleman bringing gifts are up to 180 cm high). You can add a cute snowman to the set or create a land of sweetness by choosing figurines of candies and sugar canes. In front of the entrance to the building it is worth setting guards in the form of a nutcracker.

The full range of Christmas figures is available in the TerraChrsitmas catalogue.

Decorations compatible with XXL pots

Wouldn’t it be beautiful if the decoration, instead of only a decorative function, also allowed to store the pots in a very aesthetic way during the winter, without changing its location? The delightful flowers in pots are an inseparable element of many cities, but when the season ends and the one-year-old specimens disappear, the colorful container filled only with earth does not look very good. Fortunately, it does not need to be stored, it can stay in its place and continue to delight, you just need to choose the right Christmas cover for it.

Christmas-Trees-in-Pots-Alternative-For-Christmas-Lights
In Ludwigsfelde, the flower pots stay in place throughout the winter, because with a special Christmas cover they make a beautiful modern Christmas decoration.

This solution is already known in the case of classic Gianto pots. Custom-shaped containers such as the Gianto Sito, Gianto Tablo, Gianto Grande and Plane Ring Lux also have a chance to embellish this season. You can choose a classic cover made of high-quality garlands – resembling a Christmas tree and openwork decorations in the shape of a ball or cone. Do you have pots from the Urbano collection (TerraForm) and you want to decorate them? Contact your Terra Group sales advisor, who will help you choose the right cover.

This season, planters with other shapes such as Gianto Sito, Gianto Tablo, Gianto Grande or Plane Ring Lux also have a chance to be decorated.

Beautiful Christmas without illumination

Modern Christmas decorations are not only sparkling lights. Time is difficult and the search for savings is definitely not surprising, but it is worth replacing the illuminations with other Christmas decorations so that the public space looks festive despite the energy crisis.




A decoration and a flower pot in one – decorative eggs in 8 Easter arrangements

The egg is one of the most important Easter symbols. It refers to a new life and it is closely related to the subject of resurrection. The egg is an inseparable element of the Easter basket, we share it with our loved ones. In addition, beautifully decorated Easter eggs appear on each table. More and more often, Easter eggs are happen to be a decoration in public spaces as well. Of course, they have to be appropriately sized to the scale of the surroundings to make the right impression. Fortunately, the offer of large urban decorations keeps growing.

Can one Easter decoration become a great base for many compositions? Will the space  look original every year? We have prepared 8 different inspirations for you.  They should convince you that this investment will pay off.

Openwork eggs as an Easter decoration for cities

Large eggs, painted or covered with decorative stickers, are a very popular urban Easter decoration. If you want to know more about them, check out our post on giant Easter eggs. Another option are decorative eggs in which spring flowers can be planted. As a result, they not only become a beautiful decoration with a unique and eye-catching design, but also they function as an urban flower container.

Why is it worth choosing decorative eggs? Certainly, due to the long list of advantages:

  • they are made of fiber glass resistant to weather conditions, therefore, they will fulfill their role for many years in the same shape,
  • they are light,
  • made of two parts – it significantly facilitates transport and storage,
  • they have many colors and sizes to choose from,
  • strong, vivid shades add energy, it is extremely important when nature is just waking up, the leaves are still in buds, and the grass is not so juicy yet. The decorative eggs become a great option to enliven the gray-brown surroundings,
  • the possibility of planting plants in them,
  • a lot of arrangement options, which we will present in a moment.

How to create an impressive arrangement for Easter?

Various colors and sizes of openwork eggs provide a lot of arrangement possibilities. First, you need to consider whether you want to present the Easter decorations individually, e.g. place them at a distance from each other along the street, on both sides of the entrance to the building, or in a composition.

easter-decorations-at-the-entry-door
Easter decorations in front of the entrance to the building.

The second option opens another door to make a unique Easter installation. In this case, think about number and colors of decorations. From experience, we can say that the most common choice is three decorative eggs of different colors and sizes. Of course, this is not the only option, it is enough to check how great white openwork eggs with yellow flowers and bows look. Such a composition could be admired in Polish city – Śmigiel.

Slightly open decorative eggs

This is by far the most frequently chosen option, as it allows you to perfectly display spring plantings, attracting the eyes of residents and tourists. Special brackets hold the upper part at an angle, thanks to which the egg is stable. In this form, openwork eggs are perfect for sidewalks or squares.

openwork-egg-as-a-flowerpot

Slightly open easter eggs – another version

The upper and lower parts of the openwork eggs are not connected to each other, so instead of conjuncting them with special supports, create an ajar effect by leaning one element against the other. This solution makes the spring plantings even more visible, and the whole thing looks extraordinary. We recommend this option rather for soft surfaces, such as lawns.

decorative-easter-eggs-on-garden-square
Openwork eggs can be slightly open in two ways.

Closed openwork easter eggs

Another idea for decorative eggs is a completely closed structure. In this case, you can put flowers inside ( the lace structure of the decoration provides the plants with sufficient access to light ), or you can choose only a decorative function without an additional flower container. This is a great option when the weather is more like winter than spring and there is a risk that the flowers would freeze and wither. Of course, nothing prevents you from adding seedlings later when the temperature is right.

A flower bowl

It is true that openwork eggs without the top part no longer resemble the most important Easter symbol, however, an elaborate bowl filled with pansies will impress many passers-by. The solution will be perfect both before and after the holiday season. Thanks to this, the ornament will serve its purpose much longer.

All three of the above-mentioned inspirations for decorative eggs: open, closed and without the upper part, you can arrange without any additional elements. This shows how easy it is to create a unique composition from the same decorations every year. Thus, this is associated with considerable savings in the budget.

On the flower carpet

A perfect idea for both green areas and lawns in the city center. Colorful openwork eggs blend in superbly with spring plantings. Most often, the plants are in the center of the container, but for a more floral effect, we recommend placing Easter decorations on a so-called flower carpet. The marvellous colors will create a fabulous and unique atmosphere. Just take a look at the arrangement from the German city of Oschatz that has taken advantage of this idea.

With other openwork decorations

In the case of extensive areas, such as a large roundabout or a market square, it is worth taking care of additional decorative elements that will harmonize with each other. It’s best to choose Easter decorations of the same design. In addition to decorative eggs, Easter bunnies are very suitable too. This combination will certainly diversify the surroundings and arouse interest, especially among the youngest. The Easter bunny can be attached to the lamp, so it is also a great option for the main points of the city.

The smallest variants of openwork eggs are 56 and 78 cm high. If they are not set in the composition with larger elements, it is a good idea to put them slightly higher. Thanks to this, they will be visible and certainly no one will miss them. An interesting option is to put them in a wicker basket, which is also associated with Easter. Accompanied by flowers, they will surely create an extraordinary spring attraction.

Winter the pot – it was a flower decoration, now it will be a Christmas decoration!

Thanks to large pots, a bit of color is brought into the urban space. From the beginning of spring until late autumn, you can admire beautiful flowers. When the temperature drops below zero, and frozen plants need to be removed, the question arises, what to do with urban pots for the winter? Transport and store them? Or rather not move them and only protect the pots from cold? Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages. However, are these the only possibilities? In the case of Gianto pots, there is one more option. Leave the plant conatiners in their place and create an unusual Christmas decoration.

What to do with urban planters for the winter?

The transport of large urban pots requires, first of all, financial expenditure, and second of all, storage space. Both aspects will grow at a dizzying pace with the increasing number and weight of pots being transported. You must also take into account the risk that they may be damaged while traveling to the warehouse. However, the stable temperature and the roof overhead will allow all pots (regardless of the quality) to wait out the coldest months in an unchanged way.

The second option is to leave the urban pots in their place and make sure that the frost during winter does not harm them. Resistance to cold and unfavorable conditions mostly depends on the material and quality. The winter period will be difficult for wooden pots to survive. There is no doubt that you will have to plan an appropriate impregnation in the spring to keep them looking good. In the worst case scenario, you have to reckon that they can decay. Those made of poor quality plastic, if left to frost, probably, will not survive until the next season. Metal counterparts will be prone to rust, but this can be dealt with by painting. Pots made of architectural concrete and polyethylene are best prepared for the winter. They are not afraid of frost or snow.

Pots made of architectural concrete and polyethylene are best prepared for the winter. They are not afraid of frost or snow.

When you decide to leave your city planters outside for the winter, consider adding some Christmas decorations. Thanks to this, empty containers will gain an additional function. They will become a Christmas decoration, meaning you will be able to kill two birds with one stone! Moreover,  you will save on transport as well as on a place for storage and you will avoid the risk of damage, pleasing the residents with an original decoration. Additionally, as soon as the weather permits, the pot will be ready for spring flowers. Thanks to this, your city will start to impress with colors the fastest of all.

Christmas with a natural tree

A live Christmas tree in a pot in public space is not as common as it used to be. This is most likely due to the greater care requirements than in the case of their artificial equivalent.

natural-christmas tree-in-a-pot
Gianto pots are large enough to plant a medium-sized conifer.

However, a natural Christmas tree always draws attention, and a container for urban plantings is a great place for spruce. Why? Gianto pots are large enough to plant a medium-sized conifer, and their depth allows it to be placed in the ground with a root ball. Thanks to this, you will successfully plant the tree in a different place after the Christmas season. It is a win-win situation.

Nature is beautiful in itself, so a live Christmas tree in a pot will look good even in the sauté version. However, to follow the tradition, it is worth decorating the tree so that it becomes a real queen among the city decorations. No idea how to do it? You can look for inspiration on our blog or take some advice from the residents. If there is more than one pot in your neighborhood, plant a conifer in each and leave their decorations to schools or organizations, sports groups, etc. Then you will get a unique gallery of Christmas decorations.

An original Christmas tree in a pot

The cone Christmas tree looks great in the Gianto pot.

The second solution is extremely convenient and will surely decorate the area for many winter seasons. For Gianto pots with a diameter of 80, 95 and 120 cm, you can choose a dedicated cone-shaped TerraChristmas cover that will resemble a real Christmas tree. Despite the fact that the Christmas decoration is based on a strong steel structure that has been densely braided with high-quality garlands, it remains light. Also it allows for assembly without the use of heavy equipment, which is required for other urban decorations.

The cover placed in the pot makes a great impression as the twigs slightly bent away from the cone. Thanks to this factor, the cone tree does not resemble a perfect geometric figure aymore and takes on a more natural character. It only takes a few moments to install it – the cone is anchored to the ground in the pot.

This solution is simple and effective, the Christmas decoration will not tip over due to winter wind and it will delight residents throughout the whole Christmas season.

A cone tree in many forms

Gianto pot covers have another siginifcant advantage that cannot be overlooked. They will adapt to your needs and ideas. Together with an experienced account manager, you will be able to create your dream cone tree that best suits your surroundings. Take the reins of designing Christmas decorations and decide on:

  • garland color – choose classic bottle green or one of the bolder options: red or white,
  • decorations – the cone tree can be decorated with baubles of any color,
  • lights – to make the Christmas decoration also noticeable in the evening, it is worth adding LED Christmas tree lights to it, according to your preferences, they can have a warm or cold color.

Openwork Christmas tree and more

Although light, white openwork constructions are not what comes to mind when you think about Christmas decorations, when combined with Christmas lights, they can impress everyone. For this reason more and more such Christmas decorations appear in public space. These can be large figures or smaller accents. If you want to know more about it, see our post on openwork decorations.

For winter, Gianto pots can be decorated with such subtle elements. You will have a choice of an openwork Christmas tree or a hemisphere. The method of assembly is very similar to the aforementioned covers for pots – they are anchored to the substrate left in the plant container. These are not all advantages of this solution. In addition to its amazing appearance, the translucent structure allows sunlight to enter the interior. Thanks to this, if there are evergreen plants in the pot, they will not be completely deprived of light.

Proven Christmas city decorations

It has been known for a long time that solutions combining several functions assure the greatest savings. This is the case with the Gianto urban pots that are left outside for the Christmas season. Choose one of the options: a live tree, a cone tree or openwork covers from the TerraChristmas collection and enjoy additional Christmas decorations. This way, you will not have to invest in additional seasonal decorations and organize transport or storage space for them.




Large baubles not only for the Christmas tree – Christmas decorations outside

Christmas is getting closer and closer, and together with it the hot time of preparing public space for this special occasion. Although large baubles do not appear in every city yet, they have great possibilities. That is why they are ready to fight for their fame even with the biggest stars among the holiday decorations outside!

big-christmas-baubles-in-the-city
Large baubles are a great way to decorate your city for Christmas.

Christmas decorations outside

As every house, city gallery and school, dresses up for the upcoming Christmas, the outer spaces want to keep pace with them. Neighbors take part in unwritten competitions for the best decorated garden very often. These who lost promise themselves that next year their yard will look better  than the one belonging to the sneaky man next door. Cities are also facing a similar competition. Although there is no contest for the best decorated city yet, more and more funds of their budget are allocated to Christmas decorations outside.

In previous years, it seemed to be enough to invest in a giant Christmas tree and a few illuminations. Nowadays, outdoor Christmas decorations have become a festive attraction that allure locals to walk or tourists to visit some place. Of course, there is no need to explain that it significantly influences the promotion of the city.

It cannot be denied that the most photogenic elements of the exterior design are still huge light illuminations in the shape of a bauble, which you can enter or the sleigh of Santa Claus. However, it is not a foregone conclusion as perhaps this year all eyes will be turned in a completely different direction.

large-baubles-in-the-city
Large baubles are likely to become the hit of Christmas decorations.

Large baubles – the unique Christmas decoration

In search of unusual and original solutions, the TerraChristmas brand decided to choose Christmas decorations that have always appeared in almost every place, in our homes, school buildings, City Halls or town squares. Of course, we are talking about traditional Christmas baubles. Certainly, such outdoor Christmas decorations would not impress anyone, if not for one significant change. Small spheres hooked on coniferous branches were enlarged to the size corresponding to the open space.

pyramid-of-christmas-balls-christmas-decoration-outside
Large baubles are as much as 120 cm in diameter, which is 10 times more than traditional balls on a Christmas tree.

While quite impressive Christmas tree decorations are 12 cm in diameter, large baubles are up to 120 cm. That is 10 times more! Such a size makes them unsuitable for hanging on a Christmas tree, but they become absolutely an original outdoor Christmas decoration. In addition, we are convinced that they will work just as well on a promenade, market square, in front of a train station or in a shopping mall.

How it’s done?

Snowfall, rain, or even hail and … positive temperatures, and in a moment frost – these are typical weather conditions during the Polish winter. Moreover, there are more difficulties  Christmas decorations will encounter. The list should be supplemented with: constant touching by the hands of kids, using them as a shield during a snowball fight, strange ideas of juvenile vandals, as well as being the center of attention throughout the holiday season. Fortunately, the large baubles are resistant to cold and mechanical damage. As a result, they will never break or scratch as easily as their smaller counterparts! What’s the secret?

christmas-decoration-for-outdoors
Snow, rain, even hail and… temperatures above zero, and in a moment bitterly cold weather – for all these difficulties the large baubles by TerraChristamas are prepared.

In order to create Christmas decorations outside that would be ready even for the most extreme circumstances, it was necessary to find the right material. It should  also be: solid and durable (so that the decoration will last for years), light (the decoration appears only during the holiday season, and the transport of heavy elements generates additional costs), and at the same time allows to obtain a spherical shape. The choice fell on fiberglass, which is used in many industries. The best features are confirmed by the fact that the material from which large baubles are made is also used in aviation, dentistry, fiber optic telecommunications or the production of skis or high jump poles.

Big baubles in your style

In a domestic environment, outdoor Christmas decorations often surprise with their uniqueness and how well they reflect the character of the decorators. An individual idea for a Christmas decoration can also be easily transferred to cities: large baubles are available in the basic option in three traditional colors (red, blue, silver), as well as in three finishes (gloss, matte and glitter). For the most demanding customers, there is a custom option that significantly expands the range of available colors. The combination possibilities are endless, so every space can get unique Christmas decorations outside.

Large Christmas balls have one indisputable advantage. There are many possibilities of arrangement and changes in composition, so they can change their form every year. Christmas decorations can be set individually on durable stands or steel rings, hung on trees or arranged in a pyramid.

christmas-decoration-for-city-terrachristmas
Pyramid made of large baubles.

A tower made of large baubles? It’s not magic, it’s just a well-thought-out design. The balls in the pyramid are fixed on the frame, so there is no risk that any of the elements will fall and spoil the entire effect. On the other hand, decorations placed on top of each other allow for even more combinations, just choose large baubles in more than one color.

Express it with… a bauble

A unique, eye-catching Christmas decoration, and at the same time a great place to put a coat of arms, logo or interesting graphics. It’s all thanks to the personalization service and durable stickers. Thanks to them, large baubles become more than just an original decoration. We guarantee that no one is able to pass them by indifferently, which is why it is the perfect place to put Christmas wishes or advertisements.

You can put any graphics or wishes on the large baubles, resulting in a one-of-a-kind outdoor Christmas decoration.

You can choose a ready-made example from the pattern catalog or create your own. If you cannot imagine the finished effect, send a photo that shows the target place of the decoration, and Terra Group specialists will prepare a visualization for you.

The best city decorations

Add a magic ingredient to a recipe for a happy Christmas in the city. Why is it worth putting on large baubles instead of traditional decorations?

  1. Original decorations will arouse interest for sure.
  2. Modularity – this year choose a pyramid, next year choose single frames and create a completely different composition or hang them on trees.
  3. For years – large fiber glass baubles are ready for all circumstances.
  4. Hassle-free – easy to transport, to assemble and to clean, what more could you ask for.
  5. Proven solution – large baubles decorate many cities – Świdnik, Vilshofen an der Donau, Marktredwitz, Luckenwalde, Horb am Neckar these are places (although this is not a complete list) where you can admire the giant Christmas balls. If you are curious, you can go with us on a virtual tour to see them all.

Big baubles win the hearts of the residents

Perfectly spherical shape, colors matched to the shades of the city, an individually selected label with the coat of arms and wishes, a charming pendant crowning the decorations, an impressive size, large glass balls in the form of a pyramid, something completely different – these are just a few of the long list of opinions you can hear from passers-by admiring the Christmas decorations outside. Maybe it’s high time for them to appear in your city too?  




Street lamp decorations – great way to decorate streets for Christmas

A long street in the vicinity of the center, a promenade or a market square are places about which city officials care most during the Christmas period. The surroundings of the main buildings, such as the town hall or the municipal council, are easy to decorate. It is enough to place a giant Christmas tree or interesting light illuminations in the center. The other areas though, may be a bit more problematic.

There are many solutions, but in this post we will focus on one which except the aesthetic function, has additional positive aspects. Street lamp decorations are basically standard in all representative places in the city. During spring and summer, to the delight of residents, they diversify metal street lamps with flowers, thus creating decorative objects from ordinary elements of public space. In winter, lanterns can also delight everyone. How? Read the text in which we will prompt how to turn hanging Flower Towers into Christmas street decorations.

christmas-balls-for-street-lamps
In winter, hanging Flower Towers can turn into spruce balls with Christmas baubles.

Street lamp decorations all year round

The decorative potential of lamps has been noticed a long time ago. Very often, on the market square or promenade, street lamps are decorated with hanging, blooming plants. When winter comes, there is no possibility to have flowers. Therefore, usually the hanging Flower Towers are dismantled or left on a street lamp, which is not very aesthetic.

The first way seems to be better. The structure is not exposed to cold, snow or rain, which has a positive effect on its durability. However, people, time and suitable weather will have to be found for dismantling. Although it is not difficult to remove hanging Flower Towers from the street lamps, you need to take into account their number. If there are several dozen lamps on the market square, promenade or along the street, the work will be much longer than you might initially think, especially if frost or rain.

Leaving on the street lamp decorations doesn’t have to be a bad choice. First of all, pots made of galvanized steel can deal with unfavorable conditions during winter without any problems. Secondly, the lack of flowers can be replaced with another solution. TerraChristmas brand creates special Christmas decorations that effectively cover the hanging Flower Tower on the street lamp. Thanks to this, it not only gains a protective “disguise” that covers the planter, but also a completely different image.

Decorative Christmas balls consist of two parts. The hemispherical frame is made of durable steel, and aesthetic Christmas garlands which are woven between the wires, resembling vivid spruce twigs. After mounting on the street lamp, a ball with dense needles is created, fully covering the Flower Tower. Such street lamp decorations will look great if there are also Christmas trees and other Christmas decorations in their surroundings.

Christmas street lamp decorations will add to the atmosphere in the city.

Christmas street decorations adapt to the needs

You do not need to be a specialist to know that the best effect is achieved if the Christmas decorations are properly adjusted to the space. Original, one-of-a-kind compositions can become the main attraction of the city. Aesthetics is important, but also uniqueness, thanks to which the space will stand out and attract tourists. That is why it is very important to have an impact on the final appearance of the decoration, and not to choose standard variants.

The twigs on the Christmas covers come in three colors – classic, natural green, vivid red  and snow-white that brings to mind frosty winters. In addition to the color of the Christmas ball, you can decide whether the street lamp decorations will be equipped with additional elements.

First of all, it is worth adding traditional Christmas decorations to the spruce ball, such as Christmas baubles. One cover with a diameter of 700 mm holds about 30. This is an ideal number as the elements are evenly distributed but do not visually burden the Christmas ball. The choice of colors is yours, it can be one, two or many colors. Thanks to this, you will certainly be able to create an ornament in the colors of the city or one that perfectly relates to the surroundings.

To make the Christmas ball look amazing, also when it gets dark, choose Christmas lights in a warm or cold shade. It is not without reason that the most popular city decorations are Christmas illuminations. A string of LED lights will illuminate the spruce branches and add a magical atmosphere that will certainly encourage everyone to take afternoon and evening walks. In addition, street lamp decorations with bright, sparkling points look great in the photos.

Christmas balls with Christmas lights will create a unique atmosphere in the evening and encourage walking around.

Well protected urban pots

Hand-made spruce Christmas covers are dedicated to hanging planters – W600 by Terra, as well as Jiflor 600 and 800 by Atech. The designers paid special attention to the assembly system, which on the one hand must be durable and keep the decoration stable throughout the Christmas period. On the other hand, it had to be universal to fit various models of street lamps. That is why the fixing of the Christmas covers, depending on the diameter of the street lamp, can be placed on the top or bottom of the decoration.

Snow, frost, sometimes rain and sleet – these are the charms of the Polish winter. The worst thing is that they are the most favorable conditions for destruction, mechanical damage or the development of rust. Not all street lamp decorations can survive these difficult, cold months without visible changes. Christmas balls by TerraChristmas are made of galvanized steel, which works well even in severe frost and humidity. Thanks to the dense Christmas garlands, the hanging planters are additionally protected. Such a cover is not only a decorative but also a functional element: it allows you to keep the flower containers without dismantling and storing.

Original and functional Christmas street decorations

If the street lamps in your city are already decorated with flowers, it is worth considering Christmas balls. These are not only unique street lamp decorations, but also a great way to protect the whole construction for the winter and save time that would have to be spent on dismantling and re-hanging them in the spring.




PVC baubles and Christmas trees – original outdoor Christmas decorations

When autumn is fully settled outside, the trees are shedding their leaves, and the days are getting shorter, this is a sign that it is high time to take care of the Christmas atmosphere. Outdoor Christmas decorations are essential elements of every city, restaurant, hotel, store, shopping center or office building.

Every year there comes a time when you have to consider whether to choose the ones from the previous season or pick something completely different. In order to make the right decision, it is necessary to ask yourself a few questions. Do the old decorations still look good? Are they damaged? Maybe it’s time for some change? New outdoor Christmas decorations will surely attract the attention of passers-by and guests, add a breath of freshness, and thus create a magical Christmas atmosphere.

christmas-decoration-on-the-market
Christmas decorations are an important part of the city in December.

Standing or hanging decorations?

Outdoor Christmas decorations bring to mind mainly large, richly decorated Christmas trees, pyramids made of baubles, standing or hanging illuminations – in this case, the choice of shapes and patterns is simply unlimited: from a large bauble, through gifts, angels to Santa on a plane or sleigh with reindeer. This is big but at the same time breathtaking investment will certainly pay off. Not only will it become the main point of interest, a destination for walks and trips, but it will also be in every photo of tourists and locals. However, such outdoor decorations can be afforded if you have enough space for display and, of course, storage after the season.

In addition to large outdoor Christmas decorations, we cannot forget about smaller ones that will remind us of the upcoming Christmas at the entrance to the building, along the street or in the square. The Christmas Covers are perfect for such tasks. They are designed to change summer flowers into original free-standing Christmas trees. Moreover, summer plantings in urban pots can be changed into Christmas trees too and hanging Flower Towers on street lamps can be transformed into Christmas street decorations. If you are interested in this topic, be sure to check out our post on transformation of a flower tower.

Of course, this is where the list of ideas ends. In a shopping center or hotel, a golden figure of a reindeer will make a splash. A square, park or roundabout is a great place for XXL baubles. They will look best if set randomly across the entire surface. Outdoor Christmas decorations can take many forms, so it is also worth getting acquainted with less known examples, such as decorations made of PVC boards.

All shapes of Christmas

Everyone has a slightly different vision of Christmas, which is why PVC outdoor Christmas decorations come in many shapes and sizes. Basically they are divided into 2D and 3D decorations. The first ones are made of two polyvinyl chloride boards that are firmly attached to a metal frame. The second ones resemble folded plywood decorations. Two elements superimposed at right angles create a three-dimensional form. Both versions have a colorful print on both sides, thanks to which they look great on each side.

Christmas decorations made of PVC boards can take the shape of a Christmas tree with straight ends, upturned or rounded, but also the shape of Christmas balls, Santa Claus (3 versions), a snowman (2 versions), and a snowman with Santa – see all variants of PVC Christmas decorations. Christmas trees and baubles come in both 2D and 3D designs. Decorations with Santa or snowman are in 2D only.

Another idea is to include the name of the hotel to gain an atmospheric advertising stand. There are many options, but there may be even more …

In Boguszów-Gorce, it was decided to use colorful Easter urban decorations – openwork Easter eggs, which were placed in the immediate vicinity of the town hall, the building towering over the vast, paved square. Let an intriguing curiosity convince you how unique this building is – it is the highest building of this type in Poland!

Three ways to make Easter urban decorations. Openwork elements in the town square

Composition from Boguszów-Gorce is distinguished not only by its unique location, but above all by its colors. The trio, which includes openwork Easter eggs in the most contrasting shades, will not let you pass by indifferently. How can you overlook the lush green, yellow and red Easter urban decorations? The flower decorations are eye-catching too as each of the Easter egg was slightly open to show first spring flowers planted inside. If anyone suffered from a lack of colors and textures, now they can breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it turns out that even a vast, paved square can flourish!

Spring, spring and… summer ideas for Easter city decorations

Easter is behind us, and spring will certainly pass faster than we would like to. This does not mean that the town authorities who decided on Easter urban decorations will be forced to look for new solutions for their spaces. Nothing stands in the way of using openwork Easter eggs also in the summer season. How to do this? It is enough to dismantle the upper part of the decoration, leaving its bottom – this is how a colorful flower bowl is created and it will play its role even throughout the whole year. In the warmest months, you can plant it with the popular surfinia, in autumn with the heather, and in winter … you can create original urban centerpieces with coniferous twigs.

We would like to thank the Promotion Department of the Municipal Office in Boguszów-Gorce for providing photos used in this post.

But-but – how are 2d and 3d Easter eggs made?

Easter cardboard decorations are an impressive solution for cities, kindergartens, offices or the broadly understood HoReCa industry … which we have been taking advantadge of for a long time. When preparing packages, packing some home items, you must have used some cardboard with a honeycomb structure – the “tasty” name of this technology results from the internal structure of the material. The tiny eyes are modeled on a real honeycomb made by bees. It has been known for a long time that the best ideas come straight from nature! Small eyelets alone are not able to help with packing, but… taken together, they create a large compact structure with a real power!

The cardboard made in this technique is very strong and at the same time still light. Contrary to ordinary paper, it is also much more resistant to mechanical damage. Unlike plastics, it is also much friendlier to nature.

Christmas atmosphere also in the workplace

Although nowadays we often choose to work remotely, our offices have been decorated for Christmas anyway. In these exceptional times, a unique atmosphere should not be missing anywhere, neither in our houses nor outside of them. Let’s see how openwork decorations work in this role.



Public urban space, home interiors, workplaces – these are the places in which we most often spend our time and each of them deserves an appropriate seasonal setting. Nothing prevents the elements that appear on sidewalks and squares from decorating our home interiors as well as office buildings and their surroundings.

The owners of the French company from the aesthetic medicine industry, Laboratoires Vivacy, took care of such setting. Openwork  balls appeared in the company’s management building – huge Christmas Baubles but also Christmas Pyramids arranged from them. There were  some unique elements outside the main building too. Airy XXL openwork spheres are resistant to weather conditions, therefore the outside space was arranged in a similar way.

Christmas memories from Bavaria

Unfortunately, Christmas is over, but we can still enjoy that unique atmosphere. Some of the Christmas city decorations still keep our sidewalks in the festive time. We will be able to enjoy them for at least a few days more – just like the residents of the German city of Vilshofen an der Donau.



Traditional Christmas trees, chains of colorful lights, colorful sugar canes – these are our beloved symbols of Christmas. Last Christmas season, they also appeared in one of the Bavarian cities – Vilshofen an der Donau. Undoubtedly, their charm cannot be denied, but the large christmas baubles have become the main character of the composition – this is the reason for which it is so difficult to pass them by indifferently!

Due to their dimensions and beautiful red color, these Christmas decorations turned out to be a real hit. They will definitely return to the sidewalks next season. We have already started the big countdown to next Christmas!
