Agreed, we use the verb as well as the noun. From the OED for festoon (n) A chain or garland of flowers, leaves, etc., suspended in a curved form between two points. I don't have the photo on this machine but festoons are in this post. https://reapermum.livejournal.com/296925.html

And yes, bunting is close to flags, it's not as crowded as festoons.
