With so many wedding DIYs out there, I wanted to put some of these tutorials to the test. Is it really worth it to do it yourself? Find out with this week's video on DIY or BUY?? A Garland Tutorial!
Greenery Used:
Lemon Leaf (or Salal)
Seeded Eucalyptus
Italian Ruscus
Israeli Ruscus
Supplies Needed:
Pruning shears
Needle nose pliers
26 gauge paddle wire
5 (ish) feet of medium thickness rope
After pre-making quite a number of mini green bouquets and fastening them together with the wire, I set to wiring each of them directly to the rope, starting on one end and working my way towards the other.
About halfway through, I flipped the direction of the bouquets to give the garland a clear center, and to provide visual interest. Obviously, I learned the hard way that this was a bad idea! Next time, I'd say work from each end towards the center to avoid my mistake.
After attaching all of the prepped greens, I went back through and used the thicker Israeli Ruscus to add fullness, cover the wire and rope mechanics, and reinforce the strength of the garland.
And guess what? It worked!
I did realize, however, that this was a HUGE undertaking. All in all, this one teensy little garland took me two hours to assemble. Ugh. I couldn't imagine doing this over and over and over again until I had enough for all my tables.
I'd definitely say this is a BUY, not a DIY!

A protip is using green floral wire so that it blends in with the green foliage
I also thought about that, and whatever wire you do use, maybe use green floral tape over it, just a couple wrap arounds, to cover the wire and give it more stability.
You should start from both ends and then meet in the middle so that way you don't have to move the leaves out of the way when you wrap the wire!
A trick I've used before is instead of wiring the bunches and then wiring them to the rope, you instead just make your bunch and use the paddle wire to wire them to the rope. So you don't cut the paddle wire for the individual bunches but wire around 1 bunch then add your next bunch and wire again. Your basically just winding the spool around the entire length of the rope. It makes things a bit faster. Also using green paddle wire helps everything to blend in. Hope that all made sense. =)
you could make it through a group activity in 2 hours easily, if you have 10 friends or family members and it'd be super fun, I think I'll DIY it!! cuz I have 5 sisters 4 brothers!!
@@JamieWolfer litterally .... rope them in
I'm currently planning a wedding and your videos have been so helpful! I've been binge watching for days! I was too afraid to DIY a garland for our fireplace mantle at the venue but you totally inspired me to give it a try!
I'm loving your videos! Keep doing what you're doing girl! Finally a 'wedding' youtube channel that has some REAL advice! And btw, I'm also obsessed with your interiors! Would love some home content on the side if you felt so inclined! x
Jamie Wolfer awh thanks- that feels like forever ago! My internet is so terrible that I just physically can't upload anymore (I live in a village) your videos make me want to though! They're SO helpful! I'm planning our wedding right now- and loving it! 💕👰
Done this in the pots outside front door. With flowers as well that were cut from the bushes today.the other cuttings i made a garland over the trellis entry point where there were plants still to grow. Big stalks of lavender and a giant rose branch accidentally cut by the guy gardening for me. New garden and starting to really love making it better. Grass next. Thanks for the video. next door neighbor is a gardener with a perfectly manicured lawns,mine is a landscape bushes and trees garden with a trellis and summer house. New house,new learning curve.
This is great! I'm tempted to try it with artificial greenery as well.
After I watched your video, I clicked on a video that was in the sidebar "DIY How to Create a Garland Table Runner" by Triangle Nursery - Wholesale Flowers & Florist Supplies. They did it quite differently than you did here and she was doing it rather slowly to be sure people could see what she was doing and to explain what she was doing as well. It took her about 25 minutes to create a 6 ft long table runner garland from soft ruscus and two kinds of eucalyptus.
While I think you did a beautiful job here with your garland, I agree that two hours between making the foliage "bouquets" and then securing them into a garland is just too much for a wedding. The way the lady at Triangle Nursery did it, though, might be a better way for weddings. I would suggest checking them out then perhaps give her way a try. Who knows, you might find it more worth your while to do it the way she did it. Or maybe not, I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to take a look. :)
Diy I can use anything to be real my wedding planner friend did this for weddings useing wild and random garden clippings and omg it was so pretty.. I have a daugther getting married on the 29th and we are doing this.. Green floral wire blend well.. It took her 3 hours to do it for another wedding and looked magical my daugther fell in love and we trying to do it for hers..
They sell green floral wire also if you wanted to disguise the wire even more. Loved the garland result!
This is GOLD!!! I definitely wouldn't make this if I had a ton of tables, but in my case, we're just doing immediate family at one long table, so this will hopefully work! QUESTION: How long will this last if made ahead???
Costco sells greenery garland for a very reasonable price. You did a great job!!
Also totally forgot to ask this and might have missed it in the video, but how many "bunches" of greenery did you buy/use to make this? Thanks!!!
Lol love how you played with your dog at the end... dogs are the sweetest thing
Thank god for Costco 🤗🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️
This was so helpful (and so many helpful suggestions from folks in your comment section, too).
Hint...buy dollar store vine to.use as the twine..takes less.....add real to it two days before...after testing your real stuff for lasting...at least four days ..use viles if u want flowers...gourds or fruit is better..
At bloominous.com you can buy premade garlands by the foot. I’m going to check into it but it might be a nice compromise.
I was very excited when you mentioned this but they only work in the US :(
Next time start end to end and meet at the center and precut the wire and use green wire I would so DIY I’m doing all the decor of my wedding in October I’m very particular and I’m doing a $10,000 wedding in my fiancé Tia house 😊
I was gonna make my own greenery garlands for my tables now I'm thinking twice about that
Not sure if you addressed this, but how long will these last? How many days before could you make these?
I just love you gallery wall in this video! Maybe you can do a how-to video on gallery walls on your other channel?
Thank you for this. I was considering doing it & needed a more accurate time frame.
I have an aunt that’s a retired florist and a bunch of crafty family members, so I might just diy the garlands. No idea how i would store them though! Lol
amazing outcome . thanks for sharing ❤
Do you know how many mini bundles you ended up making? I’m going to make this for my wedding & I thought that maybe if you knew it would be easier then trying to guess myself lol
Definitely wondering the same thing 🙂
Just plan a day with your bridesmaid and friends. Offer wine and food. Boom... your garland looks great. Nice job
It looks good! Buuut the time it took to make and the fact that you had to go to 2 stores (floral store to get wire and string and then the flower shop) I would rather pay to get it made. For my wedding, we ordered it and it was more lush. Thanks for the video! Definitely thanking my florist 👨👩👧👦
How long would this last for without getting brown or crunchy? So I could do it ahead of time 😅
How long does it last? If I make it 2days before my wedding, do you think it would be still fresh?
Just watched this and thought hey maybe I can add some garlands to my top table... diy maybe not. Thanks
Thank you for doing this and letting us know the math so we don’t have to!!! ❤❤❤ you’re amazing
floral tape is green and if you tape over the wire you wont see it at all. it will mask it as though its just a part of the greenery
Fun to make but I will purchase a greenery garland😊
Thank you for your videos !!!
Soooo.... would you do this if it only took you 14 hours? 😅
Costco doesn't deliver to my area, so I'm looking for alternatives!!!
Really helpful video girl!💕💕
Hey girl!! Did you use real greenery? And can I ask how much this cost you? Thank you!!
Loving the PB merch!
Where did you get the greenery?
I want it over the front door.
Just wondering how you keep the garlands fresh eg needing water - is there a way to store them for a few days?
Where did you purchase the greenery?
This is beautiful! I'm so happy I found your channel (and subscribed 😁)
How many days in advanced can this be made? Will it keep nicely or wilt?
Love your DIYs more more more! 😁
you dont have to cut the wire between bundles, that might save time.
Thanks a bunch for the video. :)
Did you use real or fake greenery? It looks real but I wasn't sure!
Where did you get your belt !? Love it
I LOVE your channel! Your videos are so helpful and you are hilarious. :) Keep up the good work
Where did you get your greens from?
I think I would have bought some small zip ties and use those instead of The wire
Use green floral wire next time
How much did this cost?
Center part could be low-temp hot glue applied.
So beautiful! Where did you find the greenery?
Green zip ties?
Hi girl this flowers is real?
Que hojas son?
30hrs with one person... A bride, a mother and a few bridesmaids??? That's an afternoon of conveyer belt floral prenuptial bonding 🤷🏻♀️
Cut wire in advance
This is a great idea for FAKE greenery. So much cheaper than hiring a florist and you can do over months not days.
Sis you never listed where to potentially buy one....thumbs down
You can order garlands like this from a florist, like she mentioned... or you can also order them from Costco, which aren't as nice, but they're pretty inexpensive.
