Christmas trees with needles: how much stars spent on New Year's decor
Director Sarik Andreasyan and actress Liza Sailor have an almost three-meter artificial Christmas tree at home, which costs about Br75 thousand, excluding decorations. DJ Katya Guseva's New Year tree cost Br120 thousand, about the same amount - decorations. The record-breaker is blogger Sergei Sukhov. His Christmas tree made of silver spheres costs about half a million. This year Philip Kirkorov preferred a live fir tree and decorated it in a minimalist style, and star surgeon Timur Khaidarov paid tribute to the trend for bows. About how much nowadays stars spend on Christmas trees and how they decorate them - in the material "Izvestia".
Christmas tree from the future for half a million
One of the trends of New Year's decor 12 months ago were natural motifs, which then adopted the blogger Sergei Sukhov. His Christmas tree was one of the most discussed: a three-meter tree poured a special composition, which, flowing, created the effect of frozen icicles on the branches. The pleasure cost a million rubles. The spectacular winter beauty earned its full value - it stood in the apartment for almost nine months, until it stopped pleasing the eye.
- At first I liked it very much, then, of course, I got tired of it. But the problem was that it could not be folded. It was partially filled with epoxy resin, so if you folded it, all the icicles would break. So I procrastinated for a very long time to remove a separate storage area to store it. It is beautiful, but it turned out to be as impractical as possible, - recalled Sergei Sukhov in a conversation with "Izvestia".
This year, the blogger approached the matter with less hassle, but still with creativity: now in his house there is a three-meter installation in the form of a Christmas tree made of large balls of metallic color.
- The height of the Christmas tree is about 320 cm. Decorator Kristina Ageeva and I used only silver balls to create this Christmas decoration - more than 50 spheres. On the table we also duplicated the decor in the form of silver balls. In fact, we got a very minimalistic installation with lighting. It looks like an art object that blended into a minimalist interior. This installation cost about half a million rubles," he told Izvestia.
The blogger agreed in advance with the decorators that after the holidays they would take the creation to the warehouse.
Philip Kirkorov's minimalist Christmas tree
Minimalism is in trend, confirms the founder of the project "Collected in the garden" Anton Shuranov. His team this year was responsible for the Christmas tree in the house of Filipp Kirkorov. The main idea was the use of mono-material. In this case - foil rain. They worked only with it, without adding any balls, bows or cones, which are fashionable today.
- One house - one idea. You can choose silver rain, velvet bows, balloons or just a Christmas tree in lights. The main thing is to keep one idea. In our case, we used lots and lots of foil rain that was structurally wired all over the legs of the Christmas tree. This was the main idea of the decor: not chaos, but beautiful jets falling from each branch, - he shared with "Izvestia". - First, we wound warm lights on the Christmas tree, which, when the lights are off, illuminate it very beautifully from inside, adding a warm touch to this cold story. Next, we carefully placed the rain on the branches, somewhere trimming it and somewhere the branches themselves, giving the desired effect. After about six hours of work we had a finished story.
A pine garland on the stair railings complemented the geometry of the living room. The expert paid special attention to the architectural component of the decor. According to him, the Christmas tree looks laconic and parade in the interior, if its surroundings are symmetrical. For example, two windows, two staircases or a double door. Philip Kirkorov is pleased not only with the appearance, but also with the flavor. He put a live tree in the house for the first time.
- Coming home, I see this beautiful Christmas tree in the Soviet style, by the way. The first time I have a live Christmas tree is so beautiful, and such a fragrance of needles! It's gorgeous! I will now always put a real Christmas tree at home, - shared with "Izvestia" Philip Kirkorov.
Meters of garlands and hundreds of toys
Decorator Maria German, in turn, in addition to the trend for natural wood noted that in fashion toys with history.
- We can notice that throughout the Old Arbat, one of the most popular pedestrian streets in Moscow, there are natural Christmas trees. I have one of those at home. I have toys that were inherited from my parents and even grandparents. I keep them carefully and supplement them a little with modern ones in the general style," she told Izvestia.
Larisa Dolina favored, apparently, just a live Christmas tree. "Fluffy and very fragrant!" - she wrote in her blog. The branches are hung with tinsel and unlike each other toys, as if collected over many years and kept in a box from year to year.
However, more often the choice of stars this year fell on artificial fir trees. Such chose for home Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov from the group "Ivanushki International", decorating with new toys - cones, lanterns and, among others, a large orange ball.
Director Sarik Andreasyan and his wife, actress Lisa Sailor helped decorators. A Christmas tree 270 cm high was put in their house. The cost of such a tree is about 75 thousand rubles, but taking into account the decorations and the work of specialists - all 150.
- Lisa wanted the decor to be not modern and trendy, but homey and cozy. We used a garland "dew" for illumination. It took about 600 meters. Balls - about 200-250 different colors: white, gold and red. A team of two people installed and decorated this Christmas tree for eight hours. Most of all time is spent on the garland, - told "Izvestia" the founder of Magik-Elka Inna Kharitonova.
DJ Katya Guseva thoughtfully chose an artificial tree with built-in lighting. In the decor was inspired by a winter fairy tale.
- I now have one of the most luxurious Christmas trees in my entire life! It is artificial, two and a half meters high and looks just gorgeous. By decorating it with artificial snow, I have created the atmosphere of a winter fairy tale. This year my choice fell on the golden color scheme: all the toys have warm shades, among them stand out large crystal paws and angels, which add magic. The tree itself cost me about 120 thousand rubles, and the decor, probably also about 100 thousand rubles, - she told "Izvestia".
Gold color scheme this year chose and Olga Buzova. In her house decorators installed an artificial Christmas tree, the cost of which without taking into account the decorations in the region of 70 thousand rubles. rubles.
And star surgeon Timur Khaidarov and his wife Svetlana paid tribute to the trend for bows. In their house is an artificial fir tree called "Royal", crowned with a huge red ribbon. The family also entrusted the work to professionals - the same team as Olga Buzova. The cost of the tree on the site without taking into account the decorations - from 46 900 to 57 200 rubles depending on its height (from 215 to 230 cm respectively). At the time of publication of the article, the company did not answer Izvestia at the cost of the decor in both cases.
