Artificial ivy garland

Ivy is definitely a cause for concern for most gardeners as it can damage buildings, kill your trees and hedges and give pests easy access into your home. By going faux you get the look of the real thing, without it overgrowing and causing any damage.

As for wisteria, it needs careful pruning and feeding to keep it looking its best and sadly, as beautiful as it is, it only blooms for a small part of the year. Instead, our artificial wisteria garland shows off its beauty all year round.

Best of all though, our faux garlands don’t need any fuss! Simply trail them around your home for a gorgeous display of colour.

Allergies

The pollen in wisteria plants is a well-known hay fever trigger and pruning or touching the plant can even cause skin reactions.

English ivy is the most common ivy found in most gardens and it’s known to cause allergic skin reactions even just by touching the foliage.

With our faux garlands, you can leave behind the symptoms of a runny nose and enjoy your garden worry-free!

Price

If you look at the price of artificial garlands against real plants, you’ll usually see that the upfront cost is a bit more expensive. But, when you compare prices over a longer period of time you’ll find that artificial plants are actually much cheaper.

It’s mainly because you don’t need to pay to maintain your garlands and you also don’t need to spend as much time on them. For more reasons to choose artificial, read our blog.

We think floral garlands can be a beautiful addition to any home, but the question is, how do you put it up?

The easiest, renter-friendly, way to hang up your artificial floral garland is to use Command Hooks. Whether you want your faux floral garland over a door frame or just hanging on the wall, Command hooks can be a great, secure option!

Measure where you want to hang the garland Following the Command Hook instructions, put your Command Hooks where you want to hang the garland - for security, we recommend using 4 to 5 hooks per garland. Simply drape your garland over the hooks and voila! Your artificial flower DIY is now a beautiful hanging floral display.

Hanging not for you? You can also style your floral garland without the need of hooks. Lay your faux flower garland across the length of your dining table to create the perfect #tablescape or simply drape it over your mantelpiece - you could even add a whimsical touch to your home and weave your DIY garland around a banister.

How long your artificial flower garden will last outside will depend on the stems used, how the garland was crafted and what weather the garland will experience.

We view this craft as an indoor only product because the stems used are not UV resistant - this means the leaves and flowers will fade over time or fade faster in prolonged sunlight. Due to how this craft is made, we also cannot guarantee the twine or hot glue would withstand the outdoor conditions.
