In Hawaii, the lei represents a gesture of Aloha (love) and in a Hawaiian wedding, it’s common for the couple to exchange leis. The bride is often presented a pikake lei (fragrant jasmine lei). For the groom, a handsome Ti leaf lei is usually presented. Wedding leis are typically open-ended in shape to symbolize the couple’s endless love and depending on the ceremony’s location will be decorated with different flowers and colors. In Maui, the pink Lakelani rose is common, while the yellow Puailima flower is favored in Oahu.
