the Greek Period involved flowers designed into garlands and wreaths that were either worn or carried. Wreaths, as symbols of allegiance and dedication, were important religious tributes and awards to athletic and military heroes, but everyone wore them for festivals. Flowers were also worn in the hair for personal adornment, and small, fragrant wreaths were often exchanged between lovers. The form and etiquette for the use of floral wreaths in Greek society were so important that designers were officially designated and rules were written. Another important design from the Greek Period is the cornucopia (horn of plenty), a horn shaped basket filled with flowers, fruits, and vegetables and carried upright in parades as a symbol of abundance. This design is still in use today with the same symbolism, although it is now arranged on its side.
