    Brides bouquet
    Rachel V.

    Mike and his business partner at the Blue Iris was BEYOND amazing! They literally took my dream and brought it to life! I supplied the vases and vision and they executed it better than I could have ever have hoped to do. They even provided real petals for my grandmother to throw as my flower lady (yes I had my grandma as a flower girl :D) They delivered and set up perfectly, and I have brought my bouquet all the way from the wedding in Hawaii to Ohio where we live now and it is currently drying because I can't part with it. Its so gorgeous. I had 7 centerpieces and about 7 smaller arrangements as well as a garland made for the gazebo, a bridesmaid, maid of honor and bride bouquet as well as 5 boutineers and all were PERFECT! Thank you again times a million Mike!

    This was my first experience with the company. At first I was a bit apprehensive about booking after looking at the reviews but everyone deserves a chance/shot right? And, if all fails I just wouldnt be a repeat customer. But, let me tell you I'll definitely use them in the future and I'll also recommend them as well. The flowers (romantic bouquet) I had ordered for my girlfriend was very special/important to me and I wanted it perfect. Shes someone who enjoys darker colors such as blue/purple and I had emailed to ask if it was possible to change. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible due to certain flowers not being in season and it would change the overall presentation. Understandable. Although, I also wanted to confirm the delivery and the times since I wanted to surprise her at work. The managing director kawika lee was great through out our entire email exchange. He was professional, had a quick response, and was very concerned that everything would go perfectly. He apologized that they weren't able to change the color of the bouquet but he went out of his way to also give her some purple orchids as well! Not only did she receive a lovely bouquet, but also some orchids as well! Great customer service! Everyone definitely noticed the beautiful flower arrangement, and there were compliments all around. I definitely sent my recommendations to all the people who asked and I'll be a repeat customer in the future.

    I told my boss I needed a vacation. She said "Hawaii not?"…read more Get it? GET IT!? Throughout my trip to Oahu, everyone had me feeling lei-vely. Thank you, Twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C., for showing me love and introducing me to tuberose. I am a HUGE fan of tuberose now! I was thoughtfully blessed with some leis here and wow do I feel loved! Gorgeous, fragrant, and they lasted the whole trip with a light spritz of water in a bag and popped into the refrigerator. I even got to check the place out while we were leaving Chinatown. It's a cozy shop and you can tell they are very much well loved. What else can be said? Come here and get all your leis here. Nothing like getting lei'd by Cindy. This place is a daffodil-ight!

My father brought a huge corporate account to Cindys, which they made A LOT of money from. He had a personal relationship with the owners, which kept us loyal for decades. After my father passed, the company cut tie with Cindy's. I was devastated and didn't understand why. Cindy's always gave us the best service. Recently I found out why relations were cut. Cindy's has really changed and no longer provides the great customer service they once did. I placed a very important order for an event on the mainland to be shipped out and arrive a day before the event. I placed the order over a month in advance and was promised it would be just fine and well taken care of. Well, when the week of the event came, I called every day, multiple times a day, just to confirm everything. They won't answer their phones. I sent emails and messages through their website. Those also went unanswered. I even went to the store in person before work at 6am, nut it wasn't open yet. I had no way of getting in touch with them and wondered if they had shut down. I had to go on the faith that they have always provided us stellar service in the past. I was so wrong. Cindy's completely forgot to send my order at all, and left me without anything, the day before the event. The amount of stress I went through trying to find a florist on the mainland to provide lei was insane. Cindy's finally answered my many messages the day before. They said they could try to overnight my order that they forgot, but there were no promises it would get there on time, since the event was on a Saturday. I still have not been sent a receipt from them, which I asked for multiple times, or confirmation of the mailing. The lei did go, and my credit card got a huge charge, but without the receipt, I don't even know what I paid them for. And really, after all they put us through, they should have comped the order. My dad would be rolling in his grave to know how far downhill the company that he loved to support has gone. As for me, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I do truly hope they can get it together and grow back into the great company they once were.

They have an…read more80th celebration tomorrow, 7/18, with street eats food truck, Eden In Love Watanabe Floral collab, Olive Branch Hawaii Pop-Up, In store flower bar, 1 dozen medium roses for $9.99 & 5 for $10. anthurim sale. 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!!

    I've ordered from this company multiple times because I live off-island and rely on them to deliver…read moreflowers to my mom for special occasions and holidays. Up until now, they've always done a great job, but this recent experience for Mother's Day was extremely disappointing. First, the delivery driver brought the wrong bouquet. I paid $209.41 (including delivery), but my mom received a bouquet that was clearly not what I ordered later confirmed to be a lower priced arrangement. I had to call customer service, who then contacted the driver immediately. While I appreciate that they responded quickly, it still took about 47 minutes for the driver to return, take back the incorrect bouquet, and retrieve the correct one from the truck. When the correct arrangement finally arrived, the presentation was still off. The vase was too short for the flowers, making the bouquet look unbalanced and like it was falling out. For over $200, I expected much better attention to detail and quality. On top of that, the company advertised "free delivery," but that only applied to very limited areas on the island. I still had to pay a delivery fee despite the initial mistake being entirely on their end, which felt misleading. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. I've had good experiences before, but this one really missed the mark.

    I called only a couple days before a funeral service and Eileen was able to accommodate my request…read more In addition, I had some requests for a custom ribbon and she made an extra effort to get that done for me, even though we were pressed for time. I felt so last minute, but she didn't make me feel like I was imposing...another florist in the area did, which is why I so much appreciate Eileen and her patience. She has an extensive Instagram page, showing all her previous recent work, which made it easy to decide on exactly what style and florals I wanted. Without me asking, she sent me photos of the ribbon, card and later the arrangement once it was delivered. The arrangement turned out beautifully, just as her and I planned. The exact florals I requested were featured. The size of the funeral spray was large, which I really am grateful for, as the funeral only ended up having 2 sprays. It filled the room with love so well. Overall I highly recommend. Also, I am on the mainland, so doing this all over the phone, text and email was surprisingly easy. A+ class act, thank you so much Eileen!

    Wonderful Florist!!…read more This Florist is the most accommodating florist I have ever used! I called from out of state and placed an order in the afternoon at around 1:30 pm (Hawaii time). They were able to put together a wonderful living orchid and balloon combination and get it delivered that afternoon to my relative in hospice care. Such wonderful service at a very reasonable cost! A true high value for the money spent! Super nice people to talk to over the phone and VERY accommodating as well! I will use this florist whenever I need to have flowers delivered in Hawaii! Thank you very very much for the spectacular service!!
