I've had the same green boxwood garland and wreath on my mantel since last winter so when my wife and I spotted the goldenrod wreath and matching garland on a recent trip to Target, we both immediately felt that the "Decor Gods" were telling us it was time for a long overdue mantel change! (our Target trip was meant for us to pick up sandwich bread, deli meat and milk but you know how that goes)
I threw the goldenrod wreath and two strands of garland on top the pile of "necessities" that was probably already worth about $200 and somehow accumulated into our red cart. Okay, so I'm exaggerating but that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened in the past, LOL!
Once we got home I got to work on the mantel because I was that excited for the change. I added some matching candlesticks and a few pumpkins and just like that, it looked like Fall in Casita Bravo!
Doubling up on garland strands like I did here is actually a really good tip for you to do in order to create a fuller, more upscale look. It's easy to find garland at a decent price but unfortunately, that garland is usually pretty thin. The problem with thinner garland is that it tends to look too "wire-y" or flimsy. I always double up and sometimes even triple my garland strands to get that beautiful lush look.
Here's a pic of how the mantel looked before. This was December, 2020.
...and this is now :)
