Frequently asked questions

How long should a mantel garland be?

1.5 to 2 times the length of the mantel. A 5-foot mantel needs a 7.5- to 10-foot garland to drape gracefully off both ends. Shorter garlands sit on the mantel like a hat.

What is the best base for a Halloween garland?

Faux magnolia or eucalyptus in dark green or smoke green. Both look editorial year-round and accept seasonal embellishments, dried orange slices, mini pumpkins, black taper holders, without competing with them.

How do I attach garland to a banister or mantel?

Floral wire or zip-ties every 12 to 18 inches, hidden underneath. Pull the garland into gentle swoops between attachment points so it drapes, not lays flat. The drape is the difference between editorial and amateur.
