Orchid Leis - the perfect Commitment Ceremony flower
Now that Same-Sex Marriage in California is a reality, everyone is finally tying the knot. Flowers are of course going to be a part of any ceremony, whether its a simple event for only the special couple, or a full wedding/ceremony/reception with all the trimmings. Our "Tropical Pair" of orchid leis (yes, that's right, sold only as a pair) is a stunning, elegant, easy to wear, easy to ship, and easy to keep fresh floral expression of love and commitment for that special day.
This pair of orchid leis is made from over 550 individual dendrobium orchid blooms - one is made from the "throat" of the orchid, the other is made from the "petals" of the orchid. How interesting is that?! A photo is attached below to show the depth and texture of this exotic pair of fresh orchid leis.
Please order AT LEAST 1 week in advance of the date you wish to receive these. These are custom-made at our farms in Thailand, carefully pre-cooled and packed, before they are flown to SFO, where we personally handle the shipment, and sent it off to you. In most cases, you receive your flowers less than 12 hours after they have landed at SFO!
Please visit our website www.bestflowerleis.com and place your order today.

Fresh Flower Lei Greeting
A fascinating fact regarding the "fresh flower lei greeting" one gets when they step off the plane in Hawaii (mostly to Oahu and Maui). 90% of these fresh leis are NOT made from Hawaiian-grown orchids. They are imported from Thailand. Why, you ask? Number one, there are not enough flowers grown in Hawaii any more to make ALL the orchid leis they need for the tourists. Many growers have gone out of business due to their land being sold or developed. Also, it may not be economically feasible to grow flowers on their land any more. Number two, competition from other countries, like Thailand, where the labor and energy costs are much cheaper than Hawaii.
Our leis come from Thailand. All of our shipments are carefully pre-cooled before they leave Bangkok airport. Within hours of landing here at SFO, we personally clear all our orchid shipments and make sure they get cooled down again within a short time after inspection. This extremely important step ensures that our customers get the freshest-possible flowers for their special occasion or event.
