A '''bokreta''' (from [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] bokréta) is a bundle of flowers, used as a [[panache]]. It was a common headdress for medieval woman, who often gave it to a knight who wore them on their helmet. Later it was pinned on the hat of any boy. It is still a tradition to attach it to the gables of the houses that have been built.<ref>{{Cite web |title=bokréta {{!}} A magyar nyelv értelmező szótára {{!}} Kézikönyvtár |url=https://www.arcanum.com/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Lexikonok-a-magyar-nyelv-ertelmezo-szotara-1BE8B/b-1EF8E/bokreta-213E1/ |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=www.arcanum.com |language=hu}}</ref> 

The pearly bokreta was also to be pinned to boy's hats.

In the 18th century Szekler Transylvania commoners also started using silver-coloured silk panaches (''pántlika''). Their headware usually consisted of a Hungarian pántlika, large feathers and flower bokretas. These flower crowns were usually 8 inches tall but the ones used for the weddings were much bigger. For the rich, this was accomponied by a beaded centerpeace and ostrich feathers.<ref>Apor Péter: Metamorphosis Transylvaniae. Budapest 1987. 41., 42. l.</ref>

At traditional weddings, both the witnesses and the best mans had to wear a bokreta, showing their connection to the couple.<ref>{{Cite web |last=gm-admin |date=2020-06-10 |title=Lakodalom régen és ma |url=https://gocsejimuzeum.hu/muzeum-iskola-szertar/lakodalom-regen-es-ma |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=Göcseji Múzeum |language=hu}}</ref>

As with the hat-brooches of other [[Ethnic groups in Europe|European peoples]], the Hungarian originally wore the bokretas on the right side. Since [[Hungarian Revolution of 1848|1848]], the bokreta has been worn on the left side, to commemorating the painful events. The exception of [[Pălatca|Magyarpalatka]], where it was worn on the right side, because there the [[Hungarians in Romania|Hungarians]] and [[Romanians]] were on the same side.<ref name=":0" />
