Orchid lei – Orchid means “beautiful lady.” These flowers represent love, magnificence and rare beauty. Hawaiians use orchid leis as a form of greeting. They are used as a warm welcome into the islands of Hawaii. The most popular orchids in Hawaii are called dendrobiums. They are purple, green or white in color and make beautiful, durable leis.

Plumeria lei – Plumerias are known for their wonderful, sweet scent. They symbolize delicacy and beauty. Plumerias come in a variety of colors: pink, yellow and white are the most popular.

Maile style ti-leaf lei – Maile leis are the most traditional Hawaiian leis. Ancient Hawaiian Kahus (ministers) used them to bind the bride and groom’s hands together after marriage. They are the ultimate representation of marriage. Ti-leaves are from the same family as mailes. Our maile style ti-leaf leis are just as beautiful and much more durable. They will not wilt in the warm sun and will dry nicely so that you can take a piece of your wedding home with you.
