If you're looking to add a natural, elegant look to your party space, we've got just the tutorial for you. This DIY flower garland is surprisingly simple to create and it makes such a spectacular statement! We paired it with this Pink Baby Mylar Balloon Banner for a Sweet Swan Baby Shower and the results were pretty magnificent. To lend to the swan theme, we added some gold glitter to several white feathers then tucked them inside the garland, and wow! So very pretty! Get the step-by-step instructions for creating one of your own below.
Adjust a tension rod (48 to 84-inches) to the width of your dessert table. Twist together two strands of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland, then use floral wire to secure the strands to the rod. Allow the eucalyptus to flow beyond the rod on both sides.
Next, nestle a strand of Light Pink Flower Garland into the eucalyptus leaves and secure to the rod using floral wire.
Snip small vines of Faux Pine Branch Greenery and position them randomly throughout the garland. Secure the vines with floral wire.
Arrange the peony flowers in the garland where you think they look best and secure with floral wire. If you want a deeper pink of shade in the peonies you can hit the edges with a few swipes of dark pink spray paint.
On a protected surface, apply a very light amount of quick-dry glue to the tips of White Ostrich Feathers. Immediately sprinkle gold glitter on top and shake off the excess. Allow to dry, then tuck the feathers inside the flower garland and secure with hot glue.
Display the garland in your party space above this Pink Baby Mylar Balloon Banner for a stunning backdrop! We attached three small Command Hooks® to the wall and hung the tension rod directly onto the hooks. We love the way it turned out!
