Fluff and shape your orchid stems and fern sprays for a more natural appearance.

Layer the two fern sprays in a crisscross or staggered arrangement to form the swag base.

Position the orchid stems over the ferns, angling them to flow naturally down one side.

Secure all the stems tightly together using a zip tie in the center, leaving a bit of the tail to attach.

Fasten the swag to the top or side of your lantern handle using the zip tie tail or floral wire.

Adjust the florals and greenery to create a balanced, cascading effect.

Optional: Add a decorative bow or ribbon for extra style.
