There is common misconception that Christmas wreaths are not just round, but also long pieces of greenery too. So what is a wreath? the short answer it is a circle of greenery to hang or place in a décor setting. The long answer is, here are some terms commonly heard in Christmas decorating
Christmas Garlands
Is a long piece of Christmas greenery, an even width the whole length. The Christmas garlands are often used to hang on the front of reception desks, the centre length of the Christmas table, hung along a balustrade or even above a door. Christmas garlands can include fairy lights and decorations or are beautiful as a plain piece of greenery. Our Christmas decorators can hang a garland anywhere, just discuss with one our team.

The Christmas swag is intended to be hung by our decorators at each end with a dip in the middle, creating a smile or crescent shape.
