Bethany Lowe Designs, Inc. Ruby Gold Glow Bottle Brush Trees S3

Ruby and gold is the version of bottle brush trees most people are picturing when they go looking, and Bethany Lowe does it without tipping into cartoon red. The ruby tone reads warmer and more vintage than a primary Christmas red, which is why the set sits comfortably next to aged brass, old wood, and the ornaments you inherited rather than bought. Grouping is how bottle brush christmas trees earn their keep. Stagger them along a mantel, add them to a sideboard beside the candles, or work them in as christmas village accessories so the little houses have something to sit among.

How do you store bottle brush trees? Bottle brush trees are usually stored standing upright in a shallow lidded box so nothing stacked on top crushes the bristles flat. If bristles do get bent in storage they can generally be reshaped by hand or with a brief pass of steam and then left to dry standing up.
