Christmas Wreaths & Garlands

Buyers guide to artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands 

Christmas is a time for opulence and over the top decorations, not only do we decorate our trees but also our front doors, dining table, around pictures, over doorways and around bannisters. Wreaths and garlands can be as simple or as over-embellished as you like. We have plain Christmas garlands and wreaths for you to decorate yourself and ready decorated versions which just need dressing out to their full potential. Clara and Caroline our Christmas buyers have scoured the very best suppliers to bring you a good variety of styles. Many of our wreaths and garlands come pre-lit and pre-decorated so you don’t need to add anything else, just dress them out so they look fabulous. If you need help choosing the colours for your wreath and garland just click here. The standard of construction and materials is exactly the same as our artificial Christmas trees with many of the wreaths and garlands featuring the Feel-Real branches which are moulded on real fir trees and actually do have that waxy conifer needle feel.

Decorating your home is not just about the artificial Christmas tree, artificial wreaths and garlands are so versatile. Wreaths are not just for hanging on the door, place on the sideboard with a bowl of fruit in the centre. They are also an easy decorative touch for a circular dinner table especially if you opt for a pre-lit decorated wreath; just pile glass baubles in the centre or a cluster of 3 or 5 church candles of differing heights, remember to place them onto a heat-proof plate if you intend to light them. Just buying a plain pre-lit wreath can give you the opportunity to personalise it with your own ornaments. All our pre-lit artificial wreaths feature battery-operated LED lights which should last approximately 50,000 hours. LEDs are extremely energy efficient so won’t run through masses of batteries, investing in the best batteries available will ensure that they last throughout the festive season. Our wreaths are not weatherproof so if you are placing them on the door ensure that they are protected by a porch or canopy. A garland can be a great substitute for an artificial Christmas tree if you have very little floor space. If you simply have to have a decorated Christmas tree and don’t have the space for a full-sized tree, consider a slim or pencil tree instead, they can still look fabulous. Garlands can be draped over pictures or doorways, laid along the mantlepiece, down the dining table, along a sideboard or wound round the bannister, just remember to wind it around the spindles not the handrail. Garlands come ready decorated and pre-lit if you don’t have the time to adorn your own. Click here to see how you can easily make a stunning decoration for your Christmas dining table. In vogue for the past couple of years are the frosted and snowy artificial Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands. They are the absolute epitome of a cold Arctic winter scene with the snow effect doing some of the work for you. You can get away with minimal decoration, just add some cool white LEDs or snowball lights and a couple of different coloured baubles in several sizes. Snowy and frosted garlands can easily be made to look fabulous on a budget by foraging in the garden for sculptural flower or seed heads then spraying them antique gold or bronze.
