The Different Types of Leis: Orchid, Kukui Nut, Shell, and More

Leis aren’t just pretty — they’re packed with meaning, history, and a whole lot of aloha. And believe it or not, not all leis are created equal! Let’s break down the different types you’ll find (and maybe even fall in love with).

Orchid Leis

Orchid leis are the superstars of the lei world. Bright, bold, and built to last, these beauties symbolize love, strength, and celebration. Perfect for graduations, weddings, or just making someone’s day a little extra special.

Kukui Nut Leis

Kukui nut leis bring some serious island royalty vibes. Made from shiny kukui nuts, they stand for enlightenment and protection. Bonus: they look great on everyone — yes, even Uncle Joe who “doesn’t wear flowers.”

Shell Leis

Shell leis are like a little piece of the beach you can wear. Hand-gathered shells create a lei that’s pure, peaceful, and totally perfect for coastal weddings or anyone dreaming of the ocean.

Ti Leaf Leis

Ti leaf leis are all about good luck and blessings. Woven from ti leaves, they’re a timeless classic — often used in weddings, graduations, and important ceremonies.

At [Your Store Name], we craft every lei with love and aloha. Whether you’re team Orchid, Kukui, Shell, or Ti Leaf, we’ve got just the thing for your next celebration.
