Floral [wreath/ chaplet] Polish "Wianek"
In slavic culture symbol of innocence and virginity ; worn by girls and umarried maidens
Interesting ancectode I read (apparently after Gall Anonymous) - during the wedding ceremony of prince Mieszko I and princess Dobrava, there was an awkward and somewhat hilarious situation - Princess Dobrava was wearing a floral wreath however guests couldn't help but notice that she was in advanced pregnancy stage. Mieszko ! You son of a gun

Like Mel Brooks once said: "It's good to be the king!" Apparently, this applies to the future king, as well......during the wedding ceremony of prince Mieszko I and princess Dobrava, there was an awkward and somewhat hilarious situation - Princess Dobrava was wearing a floral wreath however guest couldn't help but notice that she was in advanced pregnancy stage.

I actually learned these from a video game.
Which game is that?
For Honor. Pacifica actually might remember me mentioning this. Almost two years ago, I think, I was playing For Honor and unlocked the Scottish character, Highlander. Although he mostly/only spoke Icelandic (supposed to be Old Norse).
Ah.... I have actually never played any video games, apart from those found in gaming arcades and other entertainment venues; home gaming is unknown to me. I do have a friend, Will, who is quite deeply into it, and he has just started playing a game which is the only to have ever intrigued me. It is called Ark, the Art of Survival, or some such name, and I am actually thinking of joining him on it; joining his "tribe".

Forgot to add; tradition demands a true floral wreath be made of field flowers and wheat.
I had a delivery from Lanfer company I think trucks from Lanfer Logistics have logo similar to valknut. Maybe this is what's you saw

I've first seen it in a motorway service area on a toilet door with that symbol on it and a bawdy rhyme underneath. And, don't ask me why because I don't know, I generally use always the same toilet so I see this symbol.
Qui si entra e poi si laga
si fa un passo e poi si caga
e se il tempo non lo nega
ci si fa pure una sega
I'd rather not translate it,though.
