For my benefit, and maybe for avichan, the German tradition of bridal ornaments.
According to the old German tradition, the tree of a newlywed couple should include these twelve ornaments to insure blessing and happiness for their life together:
An Angel - God's Guidance in the Home
A Rose - Beauty and Affection
A Rabbit - Hope and Faith
A Teapot - Hospitality
A Pine Cone - Motherhood and Fruitfulness
A Santa - Unselfishness and Goodwill
A House - Shelter and Protection
A Fruit Basket - Generosity
A Bird - Happiness and Joy Check! And this one even from the wedding.
A Flower Basket - Good Wishes
A Heart - True Love
A Fish - Christ's Blessing
So because the sets of blown glass are hideous, I think I am going to make it my quest to gather these things before 25 December to hang on our tree this year and every year hereafter.
