A word about centerpieces...Please contact me if your plans include doorways or mantels. Doorways and mantels require that the direction of the boughs on the garland are split so both sides fall gracefully with gravity and end in symmetrically in a point. To do that, I use one of my small sprays to fill the gap that is created when I split the boughs. The up-charge is small, but the effect is beautiful.
This one-time investment, the cost of fresh, puts 10 feet of gorgeous garland in your home year after years. I’ve had mine for nine years. Still gorgeous! If you want details on what's on the mantel shown in the first image, look below. Yes, both can take the weather. I have used the same strands on my front porch for years now, and they look great. The first image shows mixed needle garland, pearl garland, and ribbon, each sold separately in my store.
Simply the most natural looking faux garland I have found anywhere...and I'm ridiculously picky. Two type of pine, Mixed Variety and Long Needled Pine.
(1) Mixed-variety with both white pine and scotch pine boughs, shown in the first two images and a closeup in the fifth image in front of the brick fireplace...Woven together you see long-needled boughs, just like those you find on white pine and shorter like those on Scotch pine. This garland looks great embellished or just as it is. Sizeable real pine cones, averaging 3.5" x 5" accent this lovely garland. And just like the white pine, each strand is 6 feet long and has the ability to hook to the next length without breaking the flow. The ribbons and beaded garland are sold separately.

Lovely. Cascading. Like its sister, this garland looks great embellished or just as it is. Once again, sizeable real pine cones, averaging 3.5" x 5" accent this lovely garland. And just like the white pine, each strand is 6 feet long and has the ability to hook to the next length without breaking the flow. The ribbons and beaded garland are sold separately.
(3) Red berry garland: Each strand is five feet long, made of clusters of individual pics that can be taken apart. If you want to personally combine the berries with the pine garland, choose the pine garland variety that you like and the option SEPARATE…It’s easy to combine! I made the fireplace combo in 10 minutes.
(4) If you want to use this garland as a mantelpiece, choose that option. Doing a mantelpiece, I split the "direction" of the boughs so both sides end in a point. Doing so created a void in the center of the piece into which I wire two small sprays.
(5) Want lights? Choose that option for 100 lights. Ribbon? Berries?
Many have asked about the mantel pictured: 6.5 feet wide, 50 inches to the hearth, 63 inches to the floor. I used three strands of garland to make the side drape you see with loosely draped gold ribbon (a typical 10 yard roll is plenty) and five strands of the pearl garland that I sell. The berry and pine fireplace garland is made from two strands each. When deciding what you want, consider if you want lights and how you'll hide those extension cords. I chose to drape the ribboned pic to the floor in this room just to hide those cords, and I connect to an Amazon plug that responds to voice commands or pre-programming through an Echo dot (Alexa). So slick.
