I do mix in real pinecones and wood stems from my yard.

This year I bought 3 new wreaths, 2 garlands, and 4 little trees. I found a bag of greenery stems I had for wreath making in my attic that I was able to use as well. Finding the best faux holiday wreath is a great start.

Making faux greenery look good takes a some work. Fluff the limbs and stems by bending them in a natural looking way.

Christmas greenery decorating ideas

Wreath tips:

• Fluff them by bending the stems
• Mix in additional stems of different greenery and berries
• Dried orange slices give a faux wreath life
• Add bows and ribbon

Garland tips:

• Fluff them
• Stay simple or layer 2 garlands for a full look
• Add accessories like ornaments
• Layer with wood beads, yarn, popcorn, etc.
• Swag or not, looks good both ways

Little tree tips:

• Fluff them
• Leave them naked, no ornaments
• Place them in a container such as basket, urn, bucket, pottery, etc
• Great winter decor past Christmas

Fluff tip: Bend the branches so the look like they would if they were real. Don’t leave them all straight. Bend and fluff.

All of the tips shared above I used throughout our home. The mantel greenery decor is mixed stems and little trees. The pottery was thrifted finds and worked perfectly for my little trees. The trees are my favorite look of the season.
