The garlands are really different next to each other. I prefer and would order again the faux cedar garland but the fir garland is going to be perfect outside, is prelit and will fluff out to a pretty thick garland. I’m tagging the star lights that I have for my window. They’re so pretty and would be perfect mixed with the cedar garland LTKFindsUnder100 LTKHoliday LTKHome
