Winter is our favourite time of the year, and at The Faux Flower Company, we certainly don’t celebrate the seasons by half!

Each of our Faux Flower Seasonal Collections are as exciting as the next, which is why we are delighted to introduce our brand new and exclusive Artificial Garlands to our 2024 Winter Collection. But what is a new product launch, without our signature styling tutorial alongside it? While the words 'Artificial Garland' may sound daunting, arranging these gorgeous pieces is practical and easy. Follow this step by step guide on how to arrange your perfect Artificial Garland.

Arranging your Artificial Garland Set may look a little different than working with a Faux Flower Bouquet, but the layering principles (and the gorgeous end result) are the same. Think of it as creating a beautiful, flowing display that cascades across your chosen space. The more stems you add, the more it will bring your Artificial Garland to life, creating depth and vibrancy in your home and perfectly capturing the Winter Season.

Our Artificial Garland Sets arrive as single stems, allowing you the creative freedom to design a custom piece that will make your space feel warm, welcoming and timeless. Whether you are styling our Garland on a mantle piece, as your statement table centrepiece, or beautifully draped down the bannister, the impact in your home will be gorgeous. Adding to your arrangement is easy, you can buy more than one deluxe set from our website with the option to combine all stems, and build your wreath of dreams.

In this step-by-step guide, we will help you confidently craft an Artificial Garland that will fit perfectly in your home. 

Before you start, open out every stem and spray. We pack our flowers compactly, and with great care, so we don’t waste space or natural resources, but they all need a helping hand to open them out and make them look truly realistic.

Your Artificial Garland begins with the essential greenery, the Artificial Cypress Bush stems . Depending on the size of your Garland, you’ll have either three or seven of these Faux Cypress Bush stems to work with, which form the backbone of the Garland.

Begin by laying out each Artificial Cypress Bush stem along the Faux Garland’s pathway, either weaving them directly into a base or loosely draping them. This first layer serves as the backdrop, offering texture and volume that allows the other elements to shine.

If the Faux Cypress Bush stems seem a bit wild to start, that’s perfectly okay. Once you start adding the next layers, you’ll see everything nestling together naturally.

The next layer is where you add depth and complexity, by introducing the Artificial Foliage and Faux Berry Stems to give the Artificial Garland that natural fullness.

Depending on the colour way you have chosen, you will find our Artificial Red Tall Berries in the Red Artificial Garland, our Faux Snowberries in the Cream Garland, and our beautiful Artificial Blueberry Spray for the Blue Garland. The Artificial Berries are especially effective for creating pops of colour and texture in your garlands—nestle them within the greenery for an eye-catching and luxurious feel to the arrangement. 

Distribute these pieces evenly across the Cypress Bush base, tucking them in at varying heights. The goal is to mimic how plants grow in nature to create a natural, unique and varied look. To make the most out of your stems, you can cut sprigs off the berries and spread them out across your whole Artificial Garland by simply nestling them into the base. This will create a more realistic and fuller look.

Remember to adjust the leaves to add height in some places and fullness in others, always stepping back to check that everything looks harmonious from all angles.

If you’d like to introduce a natural scent to your Artificial Garland, this is the perfect moment to add fresh greenery . Sprigs of eucalyptus or pine can complement the look and bring in the aroma of nature, as if having just returned from a Winter’s Walk… without bringing in the cold! Simply tuck these fresh elements throughout your Winter Artificial Garland, blending them among the faux foliage. Not only will this add a touch of authenticity, but it will also give you that lovely seasonal scent that’s so welcoming in any space.

Remember, you don’t need much—just a few sprigs here and there to make the Artificial Garland look and feel fresh and inviting.

Now it’s time for the headliners: the Artificial Hydrangeas and Faux Roses . These are the hero pieces of the Artificial Garland, so give them prime placement where they’ll be the most visible and admired.

For the Cream Garland this will be the Artificial Cream Hydrangeas and Faux White Large Rose, for the Blue Garland you will find our Faux Navy Blue Hydrangeas, and finally, the Artificial Red Tea Roses will be featured in our Red Garland.

Start with one hero stem at a time, positioning them at focal points along the Artificial Garland. Rather than spacing them out evenly, place some closer together and others farther apart to create an organic, asymmetrical look that feels like it was gathered fresh from the forest.

The Faux Hydrangeas and Artificial Roses will add the final layer of fullness and texture. Play with their angles, and give them a gentle bend if needed, to make sure they blend seamlessly into the other layers without looking too perfect. The goal is to have the hero stems stand out while also creating a natural feel to the arrangement.

The best part of arranging your own Artificial Garland is the freedom of choice! 

If our preset Artificial Garland Set stem choices aren’t quite to your taste, or you feel you need an even fuller look, simply add a few more of the foliage, berries or hero stems already featured. 

Alternatively, you can choose other stems from our Winter Faux Flower Collection, whether that be more greenery, complementary Artificial Hydrangeas or even our Faux Roses to make your Artificial Garland fully personalised and exactly as you want it.

Once you’ve layered in all your stems, step back and take a look at the Artificial Garland as a whole. Are there any sparse areas that need a bit more greenery? Are the hero blooms balanced but not symmetrical? Tweak as needed, adjusting the stems so that the arrangement feels full from every angle.

Artificial Garlands, like Faux Flower Bouquets, benefit from a touch of imperfection. 

Remember, nature isn’t uniform, and that’s part of its beauty! So embrace the slight asymmetry, and enjoy the process of crafting a one-of-a-kind piece.

Your Artificial Garland is now complete, a lush, vibrant piece that captures the nature of Winter’s beauty in Red, Cream, or Blue. 

Place it along a mantle, drape it down a staircase, or frame your entryway for a show-stopping look that will elevate your decor all season long. Whether it’s for a festive celebration or to simply bring warmth into your space, your hand-crafted garland is ready to make an impression. Style perfectly for the season, with our beautiful Artificial Garlands.
