It goes without saying that weddings make for some of the most memorable of ceremonies — and what better way to commemorate all that love and commitment than by incorporating lei into the fesitivites?
The best part? It doesn't take that much more planning, and it can be a simple and elegant inclusion in the day that'll make it all the more special.
Wedding Lei Exchange
Here's the thing about lei: anyone and everyone can exchange one. Bride and groom? Most definitely. Bride to her bridal party? Absolutely. Bride and groom to their guests? Yes.
Gifting lei is an act of love. So what better way to top off a day devoted to it.
When To Exchange Lei
Some lei can be shared in quieter moments — bride and groom at first look; bride to her mom and soon-to-be mother-in-law in the midst of getting ready; to guests when they take their seats. There really are no rules and no one couple is alike. Think about the pockets of time you'll have throughout the day and choose the moments that make the most sense to you.
Lei To Exchange
The most popular lei to exchange at weddings, of course, are those with white and cream hues — a white orchid lei or fragrant tuberose flowers, for example. But don't let that stop you from opting to go a different path with some pops of color. The most important thing you can do when incorporating lei into your wedding ceremony is to make it make sense to you — it's your special day, after all.
