Whether you love the calm minimalism of a Scandi Christmas, the nostalgic glow of traditional red and gold, or the modern glamour of metallic tones, your garland can set the tone for the entire season. Here’s how to create a look that feels personal, elegant and beautifully festive…
Why should you personalise your garland?
A Christmas garland can set the tone for your seasonal décor. Draped across stairs, mantles, doorways and more, a Christmas garland adds colour and fun to your home amidst your usual Christmas decorations. The way to make it feel unique and refreshed each year is to add your own personalisation to the garland. Not only does it feel new, but it also adds personality and fun!
Start with a Quality Base Garland
The first step is getting your garland, and there are plenty of considerations here. At Floralsilk, we curate a collection of high-quality artificial garlands in a range of colours and styles that allow you to find the one that best matches your home. Assess where you’d like your garland to be placed for how you want it to feel, and how you might subsequently personalise it.
Match your theme
When you’re looking for Christmas garland styling ideas, you should also consider its place in your wider Christmas theme. Whether you’re matching one of our Christmas inspiration themes or you’re opting for a new trend this year, you’ll probably want your garland to match it. We’ve seen a rise in Scandinavian-style Christmas decorations, or modern metallics, so you can easily incorporate these. Add a bow or two to be entirely on trend!
Add Sentimental Decorations
Decorations aren’t just for the Christmas tree, but for your whole home. Adding decorations you love into not just the tree, but your garlands and wreaths too, brings a whole new opportunity for personalisation around the home. Whether you’re adding ornaments that feel especially important, adding a cute Christmas mouse for that festive nostalgia, or adding a picture of your pet – it’ll look beautiful with your memories included in it. Use wire to attach them securely to prevent any damages.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Personalising your garland can just be a matter of preference. If you’re incorporating stunning eucalyptus stems into your décor this year, it’s hardly a stretch to begin to add them to your wreath. There are, of course, the traditional additions, such Christmas berries available too. The best part of being able to add them as separate components is that you can change up how you personalise it each year, taking these away next year, or even restyling them into something else. Of course, it doesn’t need to just be foliage, but flowers too – adding our clip on rose Christmas decoration for example can be a perfect touch.
Add Bows and Bells
Bows and bells have been a hugely popular trend for Christmas décor this year, and they’re perfect for your Garland. Bows can be added for visual effect, or even used to help secure your garland to the stairs or doorway. Bells have the added benefit that, as you brush against them, they offer a little festive music – all whilst looking fantastic.
Adding to your Garland - tips
In most instances, you’ll need to put your garland in place before adding any décor to it. Ensure you’ve fluffed it enough, that it looks its best before you begin adding to it. When placing, make sure your additions are securely in place, and we would recommend avoiding using delicate Christmas decorations in areas of high traffic – eg, when used on a bannister where it may get regular knocks.
