Leyland Cedar Greenery is commonly associated with the holiday season, but its longevity (eight days with proper care) and dark green color have made it an excellent choice for decorative filler. This variety would be perfect for both a Fall or Winter wedding. Leyland Cedar can be used tucked into a holiday-inspired wreath or mixed in with other greens in a garland. One of the great things about this greenery is that it is easy to work with! A table runner can easily be created using our Leyland Cedar, simply lay strands of greenery down the center of a table for an effortless and festive table runner. Attaching a sprig or two on napkins, table numbers or place cards is also a great way to use this greenery. It pairs well with any type of berries such as Hypericum Berries, Hanging Pepperberry and Red Ilex Berry Branches. Leyland Cedar also looks elegant when paired with white flowers. Although this greenery is especially popular during the holiday season, it’s available year-round. Take a look at the inspiration I’ve collected below. I hope this inspires you. Let us know how you would incorporate this greenery into your decor!
