Fresh flower leis may be the most recognized icon of the exotic islands in the tropics. In their broadest sense, leis consist of objects that you string together, usually with the intent of putting them on another person as a sign of affection. They may also symbolize friendship and love, respect and recognition, or be ways to say welcome or farewell.

You can make leis out of practically anything, such as feathers, fabric, or shells. The most common, however, are fresh flower leis, and those made from natural foliage like leaves and vines. Leis of leaves are usually worn by hula dancers. Fragrant blossoms and orchids usually make up the best fresh flower leis.

Fresh flower leis are becoming increasingly popular for weddings, and are usually worn by brides, grooms, attendants, and family. However, leis may also be given during birthdays and graduations. The most familiar experience with leis may be the fragrant fresh flower leis presented to you and other passengers upon arrival in Hawaii.

If you wish to send fresh flower leis to a friend, you can arrange for a delivery of fresh flower leis through flower FTD, flowergram, or Teleflora through their online services. You can specify same day flower delivery to ensure that the leis you send will convey their fullest, freshest meaning of your gesture.

Or, you could make fresh flower leis yourself. They're simple to assemble, and all you'll need are flowers, thread, and a needle. In Hawaii, some of the popular flowers used for leis are white ginger, orchids, and jasmine.

You'll have to decide how to string them. You may consider a straight, single pattern through each flower; an alternative method is a circular or double pattern with the needle piercing the flower stems. You'll have an easy time with flowers that have tubes down their centers, like plumeria and jasmine.
