Garland storage should be planned before delivery. The goal is to keep each piece cool, protected, identifiable, and ready to install without unnecessary handling.
Confirm the product instructions
Finished garlands and loose cut stems are not interchangeable. Follow the care information supplied for the specific garland rather than improvising a soaking or refrigeration method. If the order contains several foliage types, keep the instructions with the corresponding boxes.
Use clean, cool, protected space
Select a space away from direct sun, heaters, hot vehicles, and strong airflow. It should be clean, free from ripening fruit and smoke, and large enough that the garland will not be crushed or sharply folded. Verify shelves, doors, and transport containers before the shipment arrives.
Inspect and label each section
Open and inspect promptly. Photograph any significant issue and confirm the ordered lengths and foliage types. Label pieces by table, arch section, mantel, or room so the installation team does not repeatedly unpack and compare them. Keep hardware separate so it cannot press into leaves.
Minimize handling before setup
Move garlands only when necessary, support their full length, and avoid dragging them across floors or rough surfaces. Before loading, check the route from storage to vehicle and vehicle to venue. A smooth logistics plan protects the greenery and preserves setup time.
