It appears to me that this is not permissible as it has been acquired from the Kafirs and because it is innovated in Islam. it is showing gratitude and being thankful by wearing this garlanding.

What is the ruling of wearing a garland of flowers(The garlanding is a long string on which there are roses and flowers that is worn around the neck.) on occasions such as marriages,‘aqeeqahs,student who got admission in Medical or engineering degree, and while giving gift etc ? Because this custom is widespread here in India and Pakistan. Is this action bid‘ah (innovation)? or it is not permissible just because the Muslims have acquired from the kuffaar.
