Mother's Day Garlands and Fruits

A garland reads lengthwise: it highlights a line that already exists, the edge of a table, a banister, the frame of a mirror. This collection brings together garlands of mini flowers and twigs, as well as decorative fruits to set out.

Measure the line, not the room

Lengths are given in the product name and range from about sixty centimeters to over a meter. Measure the line you want to dress, then add enough to let the ends drape down. Two garlands laid end to end cover an entire table.

Twigs or mini flowers

The twig garland stays graphic and almost bare: it pairs well with wood, stone and light surfaces. Mini flowers give a fuller, softer result, and the word autumn in the product name signals a range of warmer tones, close to copper and muted red.

Set decorative fruits in threes

A single fruit on a piece of furniture looks like something forgotten. Group three in a small bowl or on a tray, near one end of a garland, to create an anchor point. The texture of the rambutan speaks for itself: keep the surface bare around the group rather than adding one more object.

Frequently asked questions

What garland length for a table?

Measure the edge of the table and allow a little extra length to drape at the corners. Several garlands can be laid end to end without the join showing.

How do I store a garland without damaging it?

Coil it loosely, without bending the stems, and lay it flat in a shallow box. Crushed flowers keep the mark of a tight fold.

Can these fruits be mixed with real fruit?

Better to keep them apart: fresh fruit ripens, releases juice and leaves marks on the surface next to it.
