May Day is Lei Day in Hawaiʻi 🌺
We love how weddings here naturally become a reflection of culture, family, and mutual respect for the islands.
Our bride Jenna was born and raised in Hawaiʻi with deep roots in the islands. On her wedding day, she chose to wear a rope-style pīkake lei. This choker-style lei is known for its beautiful fragrance and delicate white blossoms that almost look like pearls, perfectly framing her neckline. Pīkake is often worn by brides and symbolizes love, romance, and new beginnings.
Our groom Brian wore a maile lei intertwined with pīkake. Maile is the traditional lei for grooms in weddings in Hawaii. This sacred vine represents honor, respect, and the joining of two families, making it one of the most meaningful symbols in a wedding ceremony.
We also loved seeing the father of the groom wearing a Scottish kilt, honoring his own heritage, while also wearing an orange cigar lei in celebration of Jenna’s island roots. Truly a beautiful blend of cultures coming together in one celebration.
This is what makes weddings in Hawaiʻi so special - a true melting pot of culture, where traditions are honored side by side and where mutual respect, connection, and aloha are at the heart of it all.
