Laurel wreath golden leaves

The golden leaf laurel wreath is a headband with a row of diagonally overlapping, shiny golden leaves that you wear around your head like a wreath. At carnival, it completes a Roman or Greek costume, and at a party for the successful, it puts the achiever in the spotlight, just like an ancient winner. The wreath is intended for adults, both women and men.

What the golden laurel wreath looks like

• Each leaf has a gold-colored metallic shine that catches the light.
• The leaves have stitched veins and a stitched edge, making them look like real laurel leaves.
• The leaves lie diagonally over each other and together form one continuous wreath.
• You wear the wreath low across the forehead or a little higher in the hair.
• The laurel wreath is made of 100% polyester.
• The item is from the Boland brand.

What a laurel wreath stands for

In classical antiquity, a laurel wreath was a sign of victory and honor. In ancient Greece, winners of competitions received a wreath of laurel, the tree dedicated to the god Apollo. Roman generals wore one during their triumphal procession, and later it became a sign of imperial authority. The Dutch word laureate also comes from that laurel, and therefore a laurel wreath has traditionally belonged to someone who has achieved something.

What outfit do you wear under a golden laurel wreath during carnival?

Under a golden laurel wreath, during carnival, you preferably wear a white or cream-colored toga with a red sash over one shoulder, so that the gold stands out against red and white. With long, curly hair, you place the wreath low across the forehead for a goddess look. Men with short hair place it a little higher, so that the leaves come out above the temples. You only get the wreath itself, so you combine the toga and a brooch for the shoulder separately. For a party for the successful, you don't need a costume: the golden wreath on regular party clothes says enough.

Order the golden leaf laurel wreath and enter the carnival parade like a Roman emperor or Greek goddess.
