Why Your Grads Need Leis and Flowers

Leis are traditional celebratory accessories that are a very special, symbolic artifact in South Pacific cultures. In Hawaii, according to an article in the New York Times, wearing a lei is a way to show honor and love. What better time to show honor than as a family and group of friends, during a graduation ceremony?

Leis are beautiful as personal ornamentation and are also fairly complex to make. For this reason, they are symbolic of celebration and the joy that results from a job well done. There are famed stories in Hawaiian culture of parents and grandparents hiking deep into the woods to gather lei-making flowers and other materials, taking on the difficulty in order to express humility and pride for the grad in their life.

Allen’s Flower Market is happy to save you the hard work – we have a selection of diverse, exciting leis in many colors, featuring uniform floral strands as well as multiple floral varietals in a pattern.
