She was kind enough to come meet us in person when we visited the Island prior to our wedding and we instantly clicked with her. She is super creative and you can tell she loves what she does. We gave her the high level inspiration of what we were looking for and let her create and she beyond delivered. My flowers are one of the most complimented things of our wedding thanks to her. She did our amazing arch flowers, all bridal bouquets, a flower crown for the flower girl and one for me for the rehearsal dinner as well as our sweetheart table, bar arrangements and all of the flower runners for our reception tables. As a type A, destination bride who planned the entire thing myself I found it hard to find reviews at times but can promise you you won't be disappointed with Britt and Wild Blooms!!

I hired Brittany to do my arch arrangement, bridal bouquet, lei po'o, and grooms ti leaf lei. I sent her about a dozen random pictures of flowers I liked and she understood what I was looking for right away. The arrangements she created were unbelievably beautiful, exactly what I wanted and didn't know how to ask for. Everything had so much movement and grace, and photographed like a dream!!! On top of that, she was super easy to communicate with over email, very responsive, unlike many other vendors I interacted with. Her prices are totally fair, especially considering the quality of her work. 10/10 would recommend for any important event you might have!!

Luckily, The Vanillerie is located only about 5 minutes away from Kona International Airport. Our tour guide was Candee, and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history behind vanilla and what it is and isn't. I absolutely learned a lot of things about vanilla that I hadn't known before. Now the farm itself is relatively small, but there are 4 greenhouse-like structures where the vanilla beans and plants grow. There is not much walking or hiking that you have to do, but be mindful of the uneven surfaces. And at the end of the tour, we all got real vanilla ice cream, which I absolutely loved! Highly recommended if you love food!

5 Stars is Not Enough - Absolute Integrity and Artistry!…read more If you need a florist in Kona, look no further than Mike at Island Orchard Florist. I needed a beautiful, special arrangement delivered fast for a friend who completely saved the day for me at a wedding. Mike called me back promptly yesterday, listened to exactly what I needed, and literally hand-delivered a breathtaking arrangement in less than 18 hours. Talk about extremely impressive! Everything about the experience was top-notch. From our initial phone conversation to his meticulous attention to detail, the entire process was flawless. Mike brings a rare level of expertise to his craft; his family hails from a long line of florists down in the Bel-Air area, and he and his wife have successfully run this incredible business for approximately 35 years. That deep-rooted passion and experience shine through in every single bloom. To top it all off, Mike hand-delivered the flowers to my friend with a massive smile on his face. I truly cannot say enough about the integrity of this man or his business. If you want stunning floral artistry combined with old-school, reliable customer care, Island Orchard Florist is the gold standard. Thank you so much, Mike! You have a customer for life.

Unfamiliar with any florists on the Island I started by going online. I called several shops, each of which went directly into voicemail....thankfully Mike from Island Orchard Florist returned my call. While initially online searching various floral arrangements I wasn't getting any warm or fuzzies. Mike's descriptions of where they source their flowers and native flowers sold me immediately. I left it up to Mike to work his magic, and agreed to his pricing. Well my Daughter was e ecstatic over the arrangement she received. Her friends and neighbors who saw that arrangement were also blown away by how beautiful it was crafted. I would recommend to anyone, for any occasion, to utilize Island Orchard Florist for their floral needs. You will not be disappointed.

I am so extremely disappointed with the lack of service by this company. I spent a considerable…read moreamount of time reviewing their floral offerings on their website before finally settling on one design. I specifically chose the design I did because of the floral content as well as the color scheme. I specifically chose one that did NOT have bold colors. I even spoke to the shop the day after I placed the order to confirm delivery time and no mention was made at all about needing to make any changes. This business apparently uses an iPhone for their business phone and employs text messaging. That's not a problem at all however it does demonstrate the ease at which communication regarding changes could have been. Instead they chose to use completely different and cheaper flowers in what they delivered vs what I ordered. I say cheaper because anyone who knows anything knows that mums are cheap and when it comes to Hawaii so are bird of paradise. They grow everywhere. I was told that "some of the flowers were out of season". Which ones? The noticeably missing ORCHIDS? I'm supposed to believe that orchids were "out of season" on a Hawaiian island where orchid leis abound? All I wanted was what I ordered. Nothing more, nothing less. It was intended to be for my sister who was getting married and it cost me $157!! If I wanted the flower type they gave me, I could have ordered a significantly LARGER arrangement for less money!! In the screenshots you can see the shop insisted they would go pick it back up and they would reach out to the bride. I felt this was disruptive but whatever. Well, they NEVER did that. This matters because of how they handled my dispute with PayPal. When I tried to follow up (as seen in the text conversation) they blocked me. I tried calling and it wouldn't even ring it was immediately sent to voicemail. That's what happens when you're blocked. I opened a dispute with PayPal since there was no further way for me to communicate. They first offered me $75 as a partial refund. Unacceptable. I'm not paying even $1 for something I didn't order. It takes time to move through the dispute process so approximately 2 weeks later they did offer a full refund. The catch? They wanted the item returned with a tracking number. What a scam. They knew full well that wasn't possible and would cause the case to be decided in their favor and they get to keep my money. What was I supposed to send them? A box of random dead flowers? Those flowers were long dead and in a Hawaiian landfill somewhere. They could have had their product back had they gone and picked it up like they said. They never even attempted to reach out to her. If I could give them zero stars I would. I'm not one to make negative reviews, I prefer to leave positive reviews because there are never enough of those, especially for small businesses. These people cheated me out of my money and I would never recommend them to anyone. Ever. I think they know how to work the system and have likely done this to people before. Shame on you for taking advantage of anyone in this economy where folks can barely afford groceries. Definitely no mahalo here.
