All kinds of decisions must be made for each entry we
encounter. Individual style, budget, and emphasis all come into play.
With this entry the tree took center stage. The garland
needed to be lush green and lit to be seen from the front drive and the
emphasis was only placed on the newel posts. Ribbons often play a central role
in decorating focal points of stairway garlands. This one started with wired
ribbon and poinsettia picks and leaves were added to compliment the tree
nearby. Careful attention is always paid in attaching garlands so woodwork is
not scratched.
Ribbon is not always necessary to complete a garland for
staircases. Enough picks and ornaments
placed in perfect points offer just the right amount of top dressing.
We have created fresh elements to add to existing
artificial greenery garlands for this client. The wired stems of the garland
are used as a way to pinch in fresh pepper berry, seeded eucalyptus, and
magnolia leaves; a great way to bring fabulous holiday aroma to the whole
house. These elements dry naturally and are removed after the season is over.
