Wreath used to be worn firstly on last wedding proposals in church while they wear colourful folk dress and on wedding day bride was wearing a black folk dress. Traditional wedding wreath used to be composed of various parts. Bigger wreath was placed on head and tied to brides pigtails while smaller wreath decorated with green leaves was tied to brides chest right under beads. Under this wreath was placed scarf called “čakňáš” on which was pinned rosemary as symbol of virginity.
