Description
Sometimes it's the decorations between the collectibles that make a Halloween display come together. Garlands draped across a mantel, glittered branches tucked behind a favorite witch, or a wreath greeting visitors at the door can carry color and texture throughout a room while giving individual pieces a more finished setting. Our Halloween garlands, wreaths and picks range from nostalgic orange and black decorations to gothic foliage, sparkling sprays and wonderfully theatrical Halloween accents.
Garlands offer especially playful possibilities. Vintage-inspired paper pennants and character garlands recall the colorful party decorations associated with Halloween celebrations of the past, while strands of beads, balls, bats, skeletons, spiders and jack-o'-lanterns add movement across mantels and shelves. Tinsel, crepe paper, pressed paper and glitter create an old-fashioned Halloween feeling, while glass beads and more polished finishes can bring extra sparkle to feather trees and ornament displays.
Wreaths and decorative picks take the same idea in different directions. A Halloween wreath can establish the mood before anyone enters the room, whether it's covered in orange and black ornaments, glowing with tiny lights or filled with delightfully creepy details. Floral sprays, branches and picks are useful almost anywhere. Tuck them into Halloween trees, arrange them behind tabletop figures, weave them through garlands or gather several stems in a vase for an easy seasonal centerpiece. Bats, eyeballs, berries, black leaves, glittered roses and twisting branches can add height and texture without taking valuable space away from a collection.
Halloween trees are another natural home for these decorations. Beaded and tinsel garlands can wind between ornaments, while picks and sprays fill open spaces and extend beyond the branches for a fuller silhouette. Instead of treating each element separately, try repeating a material or color throughout the tree. Black and orange beads, silver glitter, purple accents or vintage paper imagery can connect ornaments, garlands and the tree topper into one complete display.
Why Shop Halloween Garlands, Wreaths & Picks at Traditions?
We love garlands and decorative picks because they solve one of the trickiest parts of decorating: what to put around the collectibles you already love. A carefully chosen garland can connect an entire mantel, while a few unusual stems can add height behind figures or completely change the personality of a Halloween tree. We look for pieces that are decorative on their own but also useful for building larger displays.
Serving collectors since 1994, Traditions is a family-owned holiday store with a carefully curated selection of Halloween decorations ranging from nostalgic folk art to wonderfully spooky contemporary designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I decorate a Halloween tree with garlands and picks?
Start with lights if your tree isn't already illuminated, then drape garland loosely through the branches before adding ornaments. Decorative picks and sprays can be tucked into open spaces or positioned near the top to extend the shape of the tree. Mixing a simpler beaded or tinsel garland with a few dramatic picks often gives the tree plenty of texture without competing with your ornament collection.
Where else can I use Halloween garlands besides on a tree?
Garlands are wonderfully versatile. Drape them across a fireplace mantel, wind them along a staircase railing, frame a mirror or doorway, or use them behind a tabletop collection to visually connect several figures. Paper and pennant garlands can also make an effective backdrop for Halloween villages and party displays, while heavier beaded garlands look especially striking when layered with greenery or tinsel.
How can I use Halloween floral picks and stems in my existing collection?
Think of picks and stems as a way to add height, texture and movement. Tuck glittered branches behind witches and larger figures, add bats or spooky foliage around a haunted house, or place several stems in a vase beside a tabletop display. Wired picks can also be worked into wreaths and trees, making them an easy way to repeat the same colors or motifs throughout your Halloween decorating.
