I chose to get a floral arrangement from Pali Florist and Gift Shop sent to a friend's house…read morebecause of the excellent reviews on Yelp and because the shop was located close to my friend's house. I paid $125 for an arrangement with white flowers and was told by Bob on two occasions that he would let me know when the arrangement was sent and would enclose a picture of the arrangement. I did not receive any such notice. And when I saw a picture of the arrangement that my friend's relative sent to me, I noticed that the arrangement was so small with only six flowers, 3 white and 3 with other colors. I am so disappointed and I will never be a customer of this florist again.

I had one of those amazing "only in Hawai'i" experiences with Sharon of Country Heart Flowers…read more Relatively new to the area, I was looking for a reputable and creative florist to make an arrangement to take to a neighbor who had invited me to dinner. I called on the morning of, and got an immediate message to text instead. That's where the magic started, and we had a short back and forth text convo, agreed on a price, and Sharon got to work. I didn't fully realize that I was working with a florist without a store front - or even a website - but the yelp reviews provided the confidence I was seeking. While I was accustomed to browsing pictures of floral arrangements before ordering, I trusted Sharon to create something special for me to bring to dinner. In turn, Sharon trusted me to show up and pay for the arrangement - she just had my first name and didn't ask for a deposit or credit card. Note: Only cash is accepted. Sharon sent a text within an hour our two, with a picture, saying that the flowers were ready for pickup. She met me at the end of her home's driveway, and was very warm and gracious. A supplier was waiting just behind my vehicle to deliver more flowers...I could tell that Sharon was busy for good reason. The arrangement was stunning, complete with a braided palm (apparently a signature of Sharon's creations). The hosts loved it and were so impressed (as was I). Not only was this an experience that seems unique to the islands versus the mainland, but I have found a local florist that I will turn to with any future floral needs - all within a 5 minute drive from my home!

Watanabe Floral is Hawaii's largest full service floral shop since 1946, and my favorite shop. I try to visit here at least once a week to pick up roses/florals for my 2 vases, this help me think of a special person in my life who Loves floral. This place is such a happy vibe place/feeling, once you enter you will know what I mean. I just love the decor, so colorful, cheerful, so happy! I remember the very first time when I brought my mom here, I could see her happy face, I had to snap a photo of her at front of store. My recent visit I picked 10 colorful roses for my vase and also had to pick up a Birthday gift. Loved looking at all the orchids, picking one was hard. Watanabe has everything here, not only floral needs, you can just do your one stop gift shopping her. Like a local Hallmark with all the trinkets, gifts, snacks, jewelry, some very unique items that I never seen before. I came across the handmade crochet items and couldn't pass up on the bird and flower key chain, had to get them. They have very great vendors they purchase from, that's a great for supporting local! All in all, I just love shopping here! Don't forget - Mon-Sat. 9-4 & closed on Sundays! May your life be as beautiful as the flowers you give, spread happiness and joy with flowers!!

While it's true that communication could have been a little more reciprocal at times (as mentioned in some of these reviews), I was generally really pleased with my experience. The haku lei was just beautiful. I can't really comment on value as I am not a flower expert, but I felt comfortable with what I paid. Also, when everything imaginable went wrong on the day of my elopement and I couldn't pick up as planned, Jennifer kindly delivered the flowers to my hotel (for a fee, of course, which is totally reasonable and appropriate)!!!! She really saved the day!

Brides, a word of caution…read more I really hate that I have to write this, but I wish someone had warned me--so I'm sharing in hopes of helping someone else. I unfortunately cannot recommend working with Pamakane aka @ocean_dreamerr for your wedding florals. Despite having a prior positive experience with her during our babymoon and being a longtime admirer of her work this second experience has been incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. After radio silence when trying to get a confirmation and a quote for our 5/20 wedding, I was ghosted--no replies, while she was still actively posting on Instagram. I finally received a one-line cancellation after having to message her multiple timeses just 10 days before I needed the flowers, leaving me scrambling to make other arrangements last minute in the middle of graduation season. Planning a wedding is already stressful enough, and it's heartbreaking when someone you once admired lets you down like this. What makes it even more disappointing is that I didn't see her two-star Yelp reviews until after the fact--which is such a shame, because her work is truly gorgeous. I'm sharing this to hopefully help another bride avoid the same situation. Please protect your timeline, your energy, and your peace.

Honestly, if I could leave zero stars, I would. Everything the negative reviews and local friends…read moreand family said about her is absolutely true. Despite the warnings, I decided to give her a chance, which I now deeply regret. She requested the full payment upfront instead of a deposit, which should have been a major red flag. Most professionals do not take advantage of you in that way and only require a deposit to hold your spot. I had planned a trip to Hawaii for a photo shoot with my firstborn daughter for Mother's Day, coinciding with her first birthday at the end of the month. The photos were meant to be printed for her first birthday and be a part of her baby book. Due to bad weather and flooding, we had to cancel and she promised to reimburse us. Despite numerous texts and attempts to contact her, she never returned our money. Instead, she flaunted her lavish lifestyle and fancy events, including her older daughter's birthday, which I suspect she funded with our money, all over her social media. As a first-time mother, these photos meant so much to me. I'm just a single mother on disability and she took advantage of us for her own selfish benefit. $575 dollars! That money could have been used for my daughter's 1st birthday. The times are very hard these days and I still have yet to receive any response or reimbursement from her as promised. If you use your God-given talent for wickedness, what is your faith and your story even worth, Pamakane? It seems like this is all for greed and Instagram "likes". What a life to be living...
