When it comes to holiday decorating, it’s often the finishing touches that make the biggest impact. Among those final flourishes, tree garlands stand out as a versatile and eye-catching element. Whether you want a sophisticated shimmer or a cozy, traditional feel, the right garland for the tree can instantly elevate your Christmas setup. At Balsam Hill, our premium tree garlands are crafted to add texture, color, and dimension to your holiday centerpiece.

Why Use Tree Garlands in Your Holiday Decorating?
Tree garlands do more than simply fill space. They create flow, guide the eye, and pull together all the elements of your tree décor - from lights and ornaments to the topper and skirt. Whether your tree is dressed in a single theme or a mix of heirloom pieces, a garland for the tree can unify your entire presentation.
Add Depth and Texture
By layering a garland on tree branches, you instantly create visual interest. Garlands draw attention to the tree’s shape and highlight the sparkle of your ornaments. For fuller trees, wider or more dramatic garlands can stand out without overpowering. For slim profiles, narrow Christmas tree garland options provide a refined, elegant finish.
What Are the Most Popular Types of Tree Garlands?
Balsam Hill offers a wide range of tree garlands to suit every taste and decorating style—from sparkling metallics to timeless beads and festive ornament strands.

How Do You Decorate with Garland on a Tree?
Decorating with tree garlands doesn’t require professional skills—just a little planning and creativity. Start by choosing the right style and length for your tree size, then decide on your placement.
Tips for Applying Garland on Tree Branches
- Begin at the top of the tree and work your way down in a spiral pattern.
- Let the garland drape naturally between branches rather than pulling it tight.
- Combine different types of garlands - like a glass bead garland with a fabric ribbon - for a rich, layered appearance.
- Space garlands evenly to ensure balance, stepping back occasionally to view the tree from all angles.
Always add your garlands before hanging ornaments to avoid tangling or hiding key decorations.
Can Garland Be Used in Other Holiday Decor?
Yes! Many of the tree garlands you use on your tree can also be incorporated into wreaths, garlands, or tabletop displays for a cohesive look throughout your home.
Creative Uses for Garland Ornaments and More
- Wrap garland ornaments around your banister or mantel.
