Review by JULIANNE on 01/17/23 review stating Vintage Gift
This is a wonderful gift for a new bride - something old and new at the same time. The ornaments are beautifully made and the colors are vibrant. They come in perfect storage box which includes a certificate to commemorate the date. Every bride would love this collection on their tree. I also purchased the metal tree for a separate display if preferred.

Makes a Lovely Wedding or Shower Gift
Review by Meida on 04/25/22 review stating Makes a Lovely Wedding or Shower Gift
This is my favorite wedding gift. These are in a lovely box are a beautiful addition to any tree, no matter the age of the couple. I have thought about trying to find ornaments on my own, but when I did, the ornament boxes were actually less expensive than buying the ornaments individually AND some of the ornaments I couldnt find. So, its really a nice bargin!

Not as nice as I expected.
Review by Barbara on 03/17/22 review stating Not as nice as I expected.
Frankly I was disappointed in the appearance of some of the ornaments. Some are lovely but on others the painting is garish. Puts me in mind of the dime store ornaments we used to see after WWII. Im keeping the set since I promised it to my granddaughter and hopefully she wont mind the garish ones.
