 Flower Lei Exchange in Wedding CeremoniesA Hawaiian tradition that will make your wedding especially romantic is to include a lei exchange in your ceremony. Each of you in turn places a lei around the neck of the other (always with a kiss) while your officiant speaks of the significance. This ritual lends an elegant and deeply intimate note to your ceremony, one you will remember for a very long time.Choosing the best leis for the ceremony can be very confusing, but you can't go wrong with a maile. A lei of the "royal" open-leafed maile is used only at special occasions and celebrations. The leaves dry wonderfully and retain their aroma for quite a while, and so will be a keepsake of your special day much longer than most flower only leis. The maile can be intertwined with flowers if you wish. The deep green contrasts beautifully with almost anything - fragrant white blooms, lovely orchids and baby rosebuds, to name a few. Source: Rev.
