Garlands
ere's nothing more magical at Christmas than a dining table, mantel or offi ce reception area decorated with
a fresh garland of evergreens. And when it comes to evergreen garlands, don't be afraid to go big; more is better!
You can create lush, full custom garlands, with multiple varieties of foliage, that will set your off erings far apart
from those of supermarket, mass-market retailers and big-box stores. Simply add additional stems of various
foliages to the ready-made garlands everyone sells, including Christmas favorites like holly, juniper, boxwood/
Oregonia and Magnolia, as well as hardy leafy greens such as Eucalyptus, Ruscus, salal, Pittosporum, ivy, olive,
Smilax and Elaeagnus. For truly spectacular, lush garlands, twist or braid two or three ready-made garlands
together, and then, if desired, supplement them with other hardy leafy year-round foliages.
"As with our holiday wreaths, our garlands can be simple, elegant and traditional or follow the latest design
trends and color palettes." Sanukova explains. "We work with our clients to get the styles just right."
