Review on 2PCS Faux Silk Eucalyptus Garlands - Artificial Greenery Vines For Wedding Backdrop, Wall Decor And Flower Arrangements by Henry Johnston

I was looking for a budget friendly garland since I am decorating for my wedding. I was a bit hesitant at first given that some people said it was flat, sparse, etc but I decided to give it a try. First, five 6 foot vines for $28 is a pretty good deal. At other stores it’s that price for just one. Second, some people complained of a chemical smell. Three out of my five had no smell. The other two it was super faint. So if you’re nose is sensitive, I’d recommend to let it air out a little. Otherwise any smell dissipated quickly. Third, other people complained of how flimsy it was. I didn’t find this to be true. I did find 1-2 leaves that had come off in the package but it’s to be expected. Even when you buy silks at the store leaves or flowers lol off. When I unfurled them, shook them around, fluffed it up, none of the leaves fell off. I was also concerned that the stems looked a bit light green but in real life they look fairly real. One of the other things I read other reviewers complain about was how it was sparse, flat, wouldn’t fluff. It is a little thin but not terribly so. I did end up doubling up on the vines for a more thick lush look. In addition, the main stem is wired but the smaller stems with the leaves are not. I suspect this is why it can be flat. You can really only fluff it up by separating the leaves in a right or left direction. I do however like how there is a few extra inches at the end of the vine with some exposed wire so that you can tie them to the next garland with ease. The first picture is a single vine and the rest are doubled. If you’re looking for a super thick lush vine to be on a mantle this may not be for you. But if you’re just using it to decorate a table or sign for an event, I recommend it.In summary:Pros: good value, fairly sturdy and realistic looking, nonexistent to minimal smell.Cons: a little sparse.
