The choice of a garland as a St. Valentine's Day gift, would be more in the form of an "added extra" to the main St. Valentine's Day gift rather than the main gift.
Garlands are usually in a particular shape format and used mostly for decoration - either personal, in the hair for example, or perhaps to drape a table when having a St. Valentine's Day dinner. It is not a common St. Valentine's Day gift so here is your chance to do something very different.
You can therefore use a Valentines garlands as a wonderful dash of panache! For example,
- A St. Valentine's Day hair garland, customised and handed to your loved one in the shape of a tiara or a crown to adorn her hair for the evening
- A St. Valentine's Day garland draped around the table if you are cooking dinner will enhance your image and leave a lasting impression.
You can be extremely creative in your choice of St. Valentine's Day Garland. It is limited only by your imagination. Valentines garlands are usually plaited or woven in a particular shape and then this shape or form is decorated mainly with flowers and leaves.
A truly stunning St. Valentine's Day gift garland could consist of an arrangement of some or all of :
- Roses
- Lilies
- Jasmine,
- Sweet pea,
- Orchids
- Hydrangea
- Myrtle
- Citrus
- Pompons
- Leaves
The St. Valentine's Day garland could be finished off with wonderfully flowing coloured ribbons. What a wonderful opportunity for you to combine the gift of flowers with creative and imaginative shapes.
Floral valentines garlands have been worn throughout the ages as decoration and for celebrations. They are worn by both men and women and historically they heralded the return of the growing season and truly warm weather.
St. Valentine's Day is the time for romance and gestures and the garland is recognised a symbol of affection. Now is your chance to make a lasting impression on your loved one!
