Decorative GarlandGreen Garlands for Hanging
Decorative garland doesn't always have to be floral garlands. Hanging garlands made from a variety of different florist greens is very attractive and more economical to make. There is a "natural" green vine that grows as a garland called Smilax. It is available year round in a medium green color. It is a little more expensive than the other greens because it is sought after for this purpose.
Decorative garlands are high priced when ordered from a flower shop - even costing upwards of $100 per foot. But you can make your own without easily with a product called Oasis Garland. Although it seems expensive - you realize how much it does save you when you realize the Oasis garland is 32 feet long! That would translate into over $3,000 worth of product if you had it made by a florist! It's beautiful hanging on archways, over doorways, windows, cut apart for hanging bouquets, flower girl garlands and more. Such a versatile product!
Hanging GarlandWedding garland can be incorporated so many places. This ivy garland is an attractive addition above the wedding table or on he edge of a railing. 
Similax is light enough to hang up on the wall. This one accents a wedding wreath and has two floral accents draped with the garland. 
This green garland is a combination of pulmosa fern and spengeri fern. Woven thru with a ribbon tie, it looks wonderful on a staircase rail.

It's sometimes hard to make your own bridal bouquet or make your own wedding flowers . . .not because of skill but the lack of access to the right florist products. Most are available only to professionals who buy through a wholesale floral supply. You can find all the products you need to do your own weddings flowers in my Wedding Store. Please be sure to order early - I get different items from different manufacturers and have to allow shipping time. A good wedding florist always orders her products in advance . . .usually a month ahead of time. It is wise if you plan to order flowers online to order them no less than 6 weeks to a month in advance. Check out my
