Wreaths and garlands are decorative elements often used on festive occasions, both indoors and outdoors. Here is an explanation of both terms:

1. Wreaths: A wreath is a circular or ring-shaped decoration made of various materials, such as flowers, leaves, branches, fruits or other decorative items. Wreaths are often hung on doors, walls or used as table decorations. They have symbolic meaning and are often associated with festive occasions, such as Christmas, Easter or weddings. Wreaths can also be used to pay tribute to a person or to decorate a memorial.

2. Garlands: A garland is a long, swinging ornament usually made of flowers, leaves, branches or other decorative materials. Unlike wreaths, garlands are more flexible and are often used to decorate spaces by hanging them from walls, ceilings, banisters or table edges. Garlands can be used at various festivities, such as weddings, birthdays or other celebrations, and can create a festive atmosphere.

Both wreaths and garlands have been used for centuries to add a festive and decorative touch to different occasions. They are available in different styles, colours and materials to suit the specific occasion or desired decoration style.
