Hawaii orange garland with orchids

The orange orchid lei is a flower garland made of orange artificial flowers with yellow centers, joined together to form a continuous loop. Its bright color instantly evokes a tropical atmosphere and is just as suitable for a Dutch evening in orange. Men and women wear it for King’s Day, a luau, or a beach party.

How is this orchid lei made?

• The flowers transition from bright orange at the tips to yellow in the center, making the garland stand out from a distance.
• The flowers are packed closely together around the entire loop, so there are no bare patches.
• It is a closed garland that can be slipped over your head in one motion.
• The petals are pointed and slightly curved, like those of an orchid.
• The size is not based on body measurements, so men and women wear the same garland.

The flower garland as a welcome greeting

In Hawaii, guests are traditionally presented with a flower garland as a greeting, and it is this custom that made the garland the worldwide symbol of a tropical party. At a costume party, it therefore serves as a brief summary of an entire theme: one garland around your neck and your look is complete. This orange version serves a dual purpose, as orange is also the color the Netherlands wears on King’s Day. An artificial flower garland can be stored after the party and reused later, so it will last for several seasons.

Complementing the orchid lei with accessories

Keep the rest of your outfit orange and the garland will remain the centerpiece: think of sunglasses with colored lenses, large earrings, or a few bracelets in the same shade. If you want a more tropical look, a flower behind the ear or a straw with floral decorations will set the tone. With a dash of orange face paint on the cheek, the same garland can easily transition from a luau to King’s Day. Wear it loosely over a T-shirt or a floral shirt so that the flowers fall freely on your shoulders.

Choose this orange orchid garland and you will have a tropical floral look for King’s Day or a beach party in one motion.
