"Please Celebrate Weddings with New Hwahan!"

Gimhae City to Use New Floral Wreaths at Public Wedding Hall Biz Convention Starting April

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that starting in March, the public wedding hall Biz Convention will use new-style wreaths for wedding congratulatory wreaths to support flower farmers through promoting flower consumption and to establish a new wreath culture.

The city made this decision to alleviate the difficulties faced by flower farmers due to decreased flower consumption caused by the cancellation or reduction of graduation ceremonies and various events amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and to promote a healthy flower consumption culture through everyday flower life.

The new-style wreaths have a lower proportion of artificial materials compared to existing ones, which is expected to increase the use of fresh flowers. After the ceremony, guests can take the used flower baskets with them, preventing the reuse issues associated with the traditional three-tier wreaths.

The city plans to conduct a pilot operation for one month in March, and from April onwards, will prohibit the entry of traditional wreaths and allow only new-style wreaths.

A Gimhae city official stated, “Many flower farmers in the region are facing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that by piloting the use of new-style wreaths at public wedding halls, we can establish a new wreath culture and contribute to revitalizing the local economy through promoting a healthy flower distribution industry.”
