Different events in life and milestones can be celebrated in different ways. Decorations are often a way to signify such events and a flower wreath is usually one such item of decoration. It can be seen almost everywhere from simple home decor to religious times of year to seasonal festivals. It is also commonly seen at funerals.
In festivals associated with nature, particularly during spring, these wreaths can be used as headpieces. One such festival is May Day, which is celebrated in different communities around the world. In Europe, the maypole is also an important part the festival for various reason. There is even a sport involving a garland covered in flowers, which is placed at the top of the pole and young boys from the community must race on another to reach the pole and climb it in order to win the floral crown.
Religious holidays or times of year is when this piece could be used as decoration, usually hanging on the front door to welcome visitors. No matter what the occasion, is there is a place for some type of wreath. At Easter time, wreaths don't have to be made of flowers, but could be made using objects such as plastic eggs to symbolize the occasion.
Flowers associated with spring is often best to use at a time like Easter. Spring flowers add a beautiful pop of colour and some of these include daffodils, daisies and tulips. Some species only appear towards the closing of spring into the beginning of summer, such as violets or pansies. Either way, they are all vibrant and refreshing to see.
At Christmas, a poinsettia decoration is the perfect way to adorn the home. Such a piece could be made completely from poinsettias, giving a burst of vibrant red, or they can be mixed with greenery for more of a balance. Also effective is to use a completely green wreath and strategically place two or three poinsettias for a pop of colour and an elegant finish.
There are flowers that have a natural association with death. Consequently, these particular flowers will be seen most at funerals and often they will be in a wreath form. A flower like a carnation is very common, and white lilies are also something you might see. White flowers represent eternal life.
Some flora is chosen by scent and not by visual aesthetic when it comes to funerals. This is because long ago, dead bodies emitted a bad odour after a while and this smell needed to be masked as much as possible. These days, methods have been developed to preserve a body's condition until it is buried.
A garland like this can easily be bought at any flower shop, or ordered online. Alternatively, it can also be made using a few simple materials and little bit of patience and skill. Live flowers could be used, or they could be left to dry and then used to decorate. This is a good idea at a time like autumn. For a long lasting piece that could be used over and over, fake flowers are an excellent choice.
