But how do you choose the right cedar garland for your Christmas garland needs? This article will help as you think through the different factors of choosing a garland for Christmas decor needs.

What is Cedar Garland and How is it Used?

Cedar garland is a type of holiday garland handmade from sprigs of evergreen cedar trees. It's a popular choice for Christmas decorations because of its wonderful fragrance and deep green color, bringing the beauty of nature inside. Cedar garland is easily incorporated into holiday decorations by hanging it from a banister, draping it over the fireplace mantel, using it as a dining room centerpiece on the table, or any other place you want some festive holiday decor.

Please keep in mind that compared to other greenery, cedar has a longer and droopier look. Cedar boughs are much more flexible and softer compared to noble fir and pine, so the overall look of a cedar garland or wreath is more whispy and loose. Don't expect a very structured product. It’s softer look makes it a customer favorite!

There are also many types of garland that incorporate cedar along with other greenery. Our popular Premium Garland mixes cedar with noble fir and pine to create a full and lush garland. Our Mixed Garland combines cedar with pine for another stunning option.

How To Choose the Right Cedar Garland for Your Needs?

When choosing a cedar garland for your home decor, consider the following factors:

The size of the cedar garland: You need to choose a cedar garland that is the right size for your needs. Our cedar garland is available in 18-foot and 72-foot lengths conveniently sized to fit any space. Pieces can also be cut to fit smaller-sized spaces.

To light or not to light: That is the question for cedar garlands: prelit or unlit. Our garlands come unlit as opposed to prelit, but it’s easy to add a strand of lights for ambiance and glow.

Once you have chosen and decorated with cedar garland, you need to know how to care for it. Here are some tips:

Keep cedar garland away from heat sources. This will help prevent the cedar branches from drying out and becoming brittle.

Be sure to water the cedar garland during the holidays. To increase your garland's health and lifespan, spritz the cut ends with water every 2-3 days. This will help prevent the cedar branches from becoming too dry and brittle and delay that beautiful smell from fading too soon.
