Celebration Wreaths in Korea (축하화환)
In Korean business culture, celebration wreaths (축하화환, chukha hwahwan) play a vital role in congratulating businesses, colleagues, and partners on their achievements and milestones. These impressive floral displays are a traditional and respected way to wish success and prosperity.
What is 축하화환?
축하화환 (Chukha Hwahwan) translates to "celebration flower wreath" or "congratulatory wreath." These are large, festive floral arrangements typically displayed at the entrance of businesses during grand openings, at concert venues for performers, or at various celebratory events.
Celebration wreaths in Korea are usually 1.5 to 2 meters tall, featuring vibrant flowers in reds, yellows, and pinks. They always include a ribbon banner displaying the sender's name and a congratulatory message, making them highly visible to visitors and passersby.

Understanding how wreaths are displayed helps ensure your gift makes the right impression:
- Entrance placement: Wreaths are typically displayed at the main entrance, visible to all visitors
- Duration: For grand openings, wreaths usually stay for 2-3 days; for events, they're displayed throughout the event period
- Quantity matters: Multiple wreaths from different senders show strong support and are considered prestigious
- Photo opportunities: Owners often take photos with wreaths to share on social media, thanking supporters

Choosing the Right Wreath
Color Selection
- Red & Yellow: Classic combination symbolizing luck and prosperity
