questions on bending plants and tying them down?

i know ive seen it before but i havent seen it in a awhile, this pertains to outdoors and indoors but outdoor in my case. does anyone have experience or prefer bending plants or branches down? just curious how it would change yeild growing from the side with a shorter season such as the midwest.. or if anyone has a pic where i could get an idea. i was thinking yarn and small tent stakes.. im just trying to avoid the classic christmas tree look which is beautiful but rather obvious to the birds in the sky if ya catch my drift..

welp topped them a bunch sooo much for bending them.. guess everyone tops

That's good thinking, don't be afraid to bend/shape your plants to their conditions, it's all about the flowers.

I'm working on a couple of LST'd plants now, it's gonna be fun!
