Disco Balls, Stars and Little Creatures

How is it December already?! To get in to the festive season, the Wickenden Hutley team was sent out on assignment to capture the lights of 2015. From streets to shop front window displays, London has not disappointed!

Inspired by the streets of London, we have started buying decorations for ourselves. We saw themes of disco balls, stars and orbs mixed in with feathers and woodland creatures. Below are some favourites for the tree this year;

1) Gold dipped feathers from John Lewis here

2) Gold and Glitter Bird of Prey here

3) Bristle Reindeer from Liberty here

4) Cody Foster Silver Star from Harrods here

5) Silver Sequin Bauble from Rockett St George here

Merry Christmas from everyone at Wickenden Hutley!
