Facts about Christmas:
Did you know that the colors that people buy most are red and gold? Yes, 100% success. If you want to sell something for Christmas do it in red and gold. I mean together.
A surprise for me was natural. Oh, yeah, people like and buy natural colors for Christmas (natural meaning earth tone colors, browns, creams). As I observed, people's homes/furniture are brown so they want something similar for Christmas. Unfortunately I am not very good when it comes to natural colors. I tend to overload. But I am still very proud of my work. On the other hand my sister is amazing in neutrals colors. In fact her favorite color is brown, so I guess no surprise there.
Another surprise for me was that people buy pink. It doesn't sell like crazy, but it is nice to have other colors too, not only gold and red.
The colors that don't sell 100% is purple. Yes, nobody likes purple/mauve for Christmas. Very close to that is blue. A total surprise for me is that white and silver don't sell very well. Accents of white and silver - ok. But not as a main color.
I don't know about green. So this year I make about 2 wreaths. Wait, if I think about it, last year I had a green and gold wreath and it sold, so I guess green is not a bad color for Christmas either.
I would love to see your Christmas wreaths and table centrepieces. So, please send me a link to your blog.
Adevaruri despre Craciun:
Stiai caci culorile care se vand cel mai bine de Craciun sunt rosu si auriu? Da, succes garantat 100%. Daca vrei sa vinzi ceva de Craciun atunci fa in rosu si auriu. Vreau sa spun impreuna.
O surpriza pentru mine a fost ca se vand culorile naturale. Da, oamenii cumpara culori naturale de Craciun, adica maro, crem. Din cate am observat, oamnenii cam au in casa culori maro (ex mobila) asa ca vor ceva in ton pentru Craciun. Din pacate nu prea am ochi pentru natural. Tind sa tot adaug globuri si fonte si...si... pana nu mai e natural. Pe de alta parte sora mea e fantastica cand e vorba de natural. De fapt culoarea ei preferata e maroul, asa ca banuiesc ca e ceva normal pentru ea.
O alta surpriza pentru mine a fost ca oamenii cumpara roz. Nu se vinde la fel ca rosul si auriul, dar e fain sa ai si alte culori.
Culoarea care nu se vinde este movul. Se pare ca la nimeni nu-i place movul de Craciun. Foarte aproape de mov este albastrul. O surpriza foarte mare a fost ca albul si argintiul nu se vand foarte bine. Doar accente de alb si argintiu e foarte bine, dar nu ca si culoare principala.
Nu stiu daca verdele se vinde. Asa ca anul asta am facut 2 aranjamente cu verde. Stai, daca ma gandesc mai bine, anul trecut am avut o coronita pe verde si auriu care s-a vandut, asa ca poate nu e o culoare asa de rea pentru Craciun :-)
Mi-ar placea sa vad ce coronite si aranjamente de Craciun ati facut voi. Asa ca trimiti un link.
The inspiration for this favour cake came from fiskars. Take a look at their decor which inspired me. My hubby handwritten the Roman numbers while I was cooking
