Wedding Garlands and Accents by Continental Floral Greens - A Secret Weapon
When it comes to greens, the emphasis is on practicality and versatility. Wedding garlands provide a clean foundation for event decor, whether kept simple or adorned with flowers and lighting. This flexibility allows them to meet a wide range of design styles, from minimal to elaborate, without additional structural elements.
Greens like olive, eucalyptus, and magnolia are not only visually appealing but also carry symbolic meanings, such as peace, unity, and perseverance, that naturally align with weddings and milestone events, offering more depth for those who choose to incorporate that layer of meaning.
Garlands offer a high level of adaptability for event decor, making them a go-to option for any occasion. A single garland can be used as a dramatic centerpiece or trimmed into smaller segments to complement various areas such as tables, chair backs, or stair railings. This flexibility ensures that garlands can effortlessly suit any design theme or personal style. Here are other ways to use greenery for weddings:
Symbolism That Tells a Story
Many varieties of greenery used in garlands hold symbolic meaning, making them especially fitting for weddings and special celebrations. Olive branches represent peace and unity, while Eucalyptus is associated with new beginnings and protection. On the other hand, Magnolia symbolizes dignity and perseverance. It’s a subtle but meaningful way to connect your design with the emotions of the day—something guests may not even realize at first, but they’ll feel it.
Sustainably Grown With Care
As sustainability becomes more important in event planning, CFG’s farm-grown garlands offer an eco-friendly option for decorators. Grown with care and attention to detail, each garland is made from locally sourced greens grown in the U.S. This commitment to reducing environmental impact while supporting American farmers guarantees that the garlands not only meet high-quality standards but also contribute to sustainable practices in the floral industry. For clients and event planners seeking to minimize their ecological footprint, these handpicked greens are the perfect choice.
Ideas for Incorporating Garlands Into Weddings and Events
Garlands provide a versatile decorating solution for weddings and other events. Drape them across wedding arches or chuppahs to create a romantic, natural backdrop for the ceremony. Other ideas to get inspired by include:
- Using them as table runners, weaving in votive candles or seasonal flowers for outstanding reception tables.
- Create a grand entrance by adorning stair rails, door frames, or tent poles with flowing greenery.
- Accent the couple’s chairs with mini garlands tied with ribbons for a charming, cohesive look.
Complete the Look With Matching Accents
For a cohesive and polished appearance, consider pairing your garlands with matching accents such as candle rings and centerpiece designs, all made from the same premium greens. These ready-to-use options not only streamline the decorating process but also allow for an ideal integration of elements within a wedding, event, or intimate gathering.
The uniformity in the garland and accents creates a balanced atmosphere, making sure every detail complements one another and matches the overall aesthetic without the need for additional coordination.
Benefits for Florists and Event Designers
These garlands, besides being drop-dead beautiful, are also designed with functionality in mind, offering practical benefits that matter for planners, florists, and clients alike:
- Setup is quicker without sacrificing fullness or visual impact.
- The 3-meter (10-foot) sections can be used whole or divided, making them easy to scale up or down depending on the space.
- Grown and made in the U.S., they’re a reliable option for clients who value sustainable, locally sourced products.
