I've always loved hanging up real Christmas garland during the holiday season – nothing can top its evergreen elegance, its fresh scent, and its festive design. But, a real garland is big, it can be messy, and has its limits as to where you can hang it around the house.

Since I consider Christmas garland ideas to be a holiday decor must-have, I got to looking for variations that have the same timeless elegance as traditional strands, but are much more versatile – garland strands that can hang anywhere and don't require constant upkeep. That's when I came across the brass garlands from Joanna Gaines' Christmas collection at Magnolia.

With an assortment of styles – some that mimic the look of tree leaves and others designed with Christmas bells – Magnolia's brass garlands put a chic twist on this classic Christmas decoration. These strands are significantly more usable than traditional evergreen strands, and in my opinion, they're a timeless Christmas decor idea that promises lasting elegance for many holiday seasons to come.

Anywhere you'd normally hang garland, you can hang these brass variations instead. Consider draping a strand across your mantel, hanging another around the front door frame in your entryway, or looping a third around your staircase railing. The brass's rich tone can ground any space with a warm and festive look.

You can even string this brass garland in places you wouldn't string regular garland – perhaps around a picture frame on the wall, between the bottles on your bar cart, or even across your Christmas dining table set up. Since these strands are small, unobstructive, and lightweight, they can tastefully decorate your space in a way that real strands can't.

If you're not ready to part ways with traditional evergreen garland, don't worry. These brass strands can pair quite well with evergreen stands. For an elegant, Ralph Lauren Christmas-inspired aesthetic, consider weaving a brass garland strand within your traditional garland. Since brass details are highly complementary to natural green foliage, they'll ensure a classic, festive look when combined with your natural foliage.

These brass garlands from Magnolia don't have to be a replacement for the traditional Christmas garland that you know and love. Instead, they're a versatile alternative that will ensure the same seasonal elegance with a shimmering flair.
