Meet the season’s ultimate style signature. Long celebrated as a symbol of warmth, togetherness, and joy, the Christmas garland has transcended its origins to become an icon of festive elegance. More than decoration, a garland sets the tone for the weeks ahead — a cue for celebration, gratitude, and connection.

 At FLOWERBX, we reimagine this timeless tradition, elevating the garland into a modern statement that brings together heritage and design.

Before garlands adorned contemporary staircases and refined mantels, they held deep seasonal symbolism. Ancient Romans dressed their homes in greenery during winter festivals, celebrating nature’s endurance through the colder months. Centuries later, the Victorians revived the practice with characteristic flourish, weaving evergreen boughs with citrus, berries, and silken ribbons to mark the festivities. 

Today, the Christmas garland remains a powerful emblem of welcome — its sweep of foliage framing entrances, hearths, and tables with classic festive charm. At FLOWERBX, we honour this legacy while reinterpreting it through a modern, fashion-forward lens, creating garlands that feel both steeped in history and utterly of the moment.

The right garland is as much about proportion and palette as it is about placement. 

Consider scale first: longer lengths make a dramatic statement on staircases and doorframes, while shorter designs add intimacy to tables or mantels. Foliage brings its own character — fragrant pine for a traditional look, sculptural eucalyptus for something more contemporary, or berry detailing for rich seasonality. Your colour palette should reflect your interiors: deep greens for an understated nod to nature, or metallic tones or citrus for a festive alternative. 

Once chosen, styling completes the story. Drape across a door, wind along a banister, frame a mantel, or create an unforgettable tablescape – before pairing with mix-and-match wreaths or arrangements to complete the look. 

Frame your arrival with a garland that cascades along banisters or doorframes, creating instant theatre as guests step inside.

Drape luxuriously across the fireplace, letting foliage spill naturally for an elevated, straight-out-of-a-photoshoot look.

Transform dining into a statement experience with garlands running the length of your table. Add candles and florals for height, texture, and tone. 

Think beyond the expected: style along ledges, above headboards, around interior doorways, or even framing mirrors. The effect is as unexpected as it is refined.

Are all of your garlands real?
Yes! Every FLOWERBX Christmas garland is handcrafted using fresh, fragrant foliage, berries, and seasonal branches for a truly luxurious finish. As part of our bespoke service, we can also design garlands with dried flowers, baubles, or other decorative accents to perfectly suit your festive home. Please get in touch with the team to discuss bespoke options.

What is the best way to display my Christmas garland?
Garlands are incredibly versatile and can be styled in many ways. For a traditional look, drape your Christmas garland along a mantelpiece, staircase bannister, or across a festive tablescape. To secure in place, use discreet hooks, ribbon, or clear heavy-duty wire. Outdoors, garlands can also frame doorways or windows, instantly elevating your Christmas décor.

Where are your garlands made?
Each of our Christmas garland is hand-crafted in our London and Manhattan studios using seasonal and fresh festive foliage, branches, berries, and flowers.

How long will a fresh Christmas garland last?
With the right care, your fresh FLOWERBX garland will look beautiful for the entire festive season. To keep it at its best, avoid placing it near direct heat sources such as open fires or radiators, and lightly mist the foliage every few days to maintain freshness.

How long should my Christmas garland be?
The length of your garland depends on where you are styling it. For a mantelpiece, we recommend choosing a garland that is slightly longer than the surface so it can drape elegantly over each edge. For a staircase bannister, measure the full length of the rail and allow extra if you’d like a cascading effect. Our FLOWERBX garlands can also be made bespoke, so you can order the perfect size for your home.

Can I use a garland on my dining table?
Yes — Christmas garlands make a stunning festive tablescape centrepiece. For a refined look, place your garland along the centre of the table, either left natural for understated elegance or styled with candles, baubles, or fairy lights for added drama. Our fresh foliage designs are perfect for bringing seasonal fragrance to your Christmas dining experience.

How do I secure a garland to a staircase or mantelpiece?
For a staircase, secure your garland in place with discreet floral wire, ribbon, or clear hooks to keep it fixed while still looking seamless. On a mantelpiece, you can use heavy-duty tape or decorative weights at each end to ensure your garland drapes beautifully. Always take care to protect delicate surfaces underneath with fabric or padding.

What flowers and foliage are used in FLOWERBX garlands?
Our garlands are handcrafted using the finest seasonal foliage, including pine, eucalyptus, berries, and winter branches. We often combine these with fresh flowers or dried accents for texture and interest. Each garland is handmade in London and Manhattan using only the highest-quality ingredients for a truly luxurious finish.

Do FLOWERBX make bespoke or personalised garlands?
Yes — our bespoke garland service allows you to create a one-of-a-kind design to suit your home or event. Whether you’d like to add baubles, dried flowers, or personalised touches, our team can handcraft a garland that reflects your style. Bespoke garlands are especially popular for corporate gifting and luxury Christmas parties.

Are FLOWERBX garlands suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — our fresh Christmas garlands can be displayed outdoors to decorate doorways, porches, or garden spaces. For the best results, place them in a sheltered spot, away from direct sunlight and extreme weather. Outdoors, garlands can actually last longer thanks to the cooler air, making them perfect for creating a welcoming festive entrance.

How do I care for my garland?
At FLOWERBX, our collection of Christmas garlands is hand-crafted by our team with only the freshest, naturally sourced foliage, and always made to order.

To care for your garland you simply need to: 
- Mist your garland weekly with cool water
- Avoid placing near radiators, fireplaces, or direct heat, as this will cause the foliage to dry more quickly.
- If displayed outdoors, keep your garland sheltered from extreme weather conditions.
- All of our real Christmas garlands are natural products, which should be expected to dry within two weeks.
