Located in Waipahu by Jack in the Box. Lots of parking out front. As i entered the store, the girl greeted me and asked if i needed assistance in finding something? I said yes I'm looking for a lily. She pointed to the lily's and helped me take the bucket out of the refrigerator. I chose a lily and asked her if she had any fern? She gave me a few scrap pieces (i only needed one or two small ones). It came out to a really good price. She rang me up and wrapped up what i purchased. She gave me instructions on how to care for the lily because i was going to use it the next day. Thank you for being so friendly and knowledgeable.

Watanabe Floral brought our floral dreams to life. The bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony florals were breathtaking -- fresh, vibrant, and artfully arranged. The team was professional, timely, and truly talented. We felt seen and supported throughout the process. Thank you for making our wedding so beautiful!

Wilted leafs

My grandma recently went into surgery and my dad wanted to gift her some of her favorite flowers for her recovery! The ordering experience was an easy and good process, I told my dad the Erupting Hawaiian Tropic's bouquet (for around $120 I believe) was a good choice because my grandma loves birds of paradise. As the delivery man handed me my flowers I right off the bat was able to notice wilting. I was shocked because I would expect PERFECT condition flowers after my dad paid full price for these flowers. Very sad with the outcome but if you're okay with semi-wilted flowers this place is for you.

Beautiful lavender roses

Needed some flowers for my granddaughter's hula performance and just couldn't anything fitting for her. I decided to check Watanabe Floral in Waipahu. I wasn't sure if they were still open since the pandemic. There have been so many small businesses closing down since the pandemic which is so sad. To my surprise Watanabe Floral was still in the same location and they were open! Watanabe Floral to the rescue....We have purchased tons of flowers over the years from Watanabe Floral for many special occasions like proms, my wedding and even Mother's Day. It's nice that there is a location on the Westside. Thus shop is so cute, tiny but cute. You are greeted with a smile and the smell of beautiful flowers. So many different types of flowers. I was like a kid in a candy store. As I looked at all the beautiful flowers I found the perfect bunch. Lavender roses.... My granddaughter's favorite color. The price was very affordable especially for roses and they were super fresh. The flowers are nicely arranged and perfectly displayed. The shop is clean and there is lots of parking. The lovely lady that helped me was very friendly and insured me that they would be around for a long time. Thank you Watanabe Floral my granddaughter loved her lavender roses....

My husband always orders his flowers here for me. From the first year we've been together, till now. The flowers he orders never disappoints. The arrangements are always fresh, bright, and beautifully arranged. We loved it here so much that we also got our roses and arrangements from here also for our wedding. My experience with them coordinating my flowers was really easy. I just sent them pictures of different ideas I had, then they made it happen. All our roses came out to be fresh and beautiful. Our tablet arrangement was also so gorgeous! All in all, I just love the flowers from here. They never disappoint.

Mother's Day!
HI Lyfe P.

This florist is always one of, if not the most expensive. That being said the quality of both their flowers and arrangements never make me feel like I didn't get what I paid for. I can also say flowers from here have never been received with anything less than heartfelt gratitude and happiness.

Birthday... you can find this on their website and is one of the staffs favorites.

Always deliver beautiful flowers on time and with a smile. Gorgeous arrangements!. They have been my go to for flowers for my love.

Haku
Diana V.

I really wanted a Haku for my gender reveal and a friend recommended Watanabe flowers. I did some research and I found that they offered a beautiful Haku for the best price in comparison to some other shops. I was beyond pleased. I picked it up on a Friday afternoon before 4pm. Used it all day Saturday from 6am through 9pm and it held up in amazing shape! The colors were beautiful and vibrant. The flowers were fresh and you could tell the amazing work they had done on it. Beyond pleased with my purchase. I selected an adult size that has a ribbon you can tie and adjust as needed. They also offer it in smaller sizes for children. Cost at this time was $50 plus tax with pick up. They do offer delivery as well if needed. Thank you Watanabe flowers!

My receipt showing that I already paid $20 fee for my requested delivery time.

So, recently I ordered a bouquet to be delivered. I ordered it on Wednesday February 26, 2025 to be delivered on Thursday March 06, 2025 between 8AM - 12pm. I paid already paid a fee for it to be delivered during said time. On Thursday February 27, 2025, I received an email from some lady at Guest Services stating that I would have to pay another $20 on top of the $20 I ALREADY paid in order for it to be delivered during the times I requested. I then called the number shown below her name on the email she sent me and informed her that I already paid a fee for the bouquet to be delivered during 8AM - 12PM. She then explains to me that it actually costs $40 and not $20 and I would need to pay an extra $20. I told her that I ordered a bouquet on Valentine's Day for the same time frame (8AM - 12PM) and only had to pay $20. No one called/emailed me about it being $40 during that time.. Why is it different this time? She then puts me on hold then comes back and tells me that there was an error in the system and that it actually costs $40, not $20 but they'll waive it this time. I told her well, you guys need to change the pricing on the website then because thats false advertisement. She then gives me attitude and says "Yea Yea Yea. Its fine. We know.." Long story short, I got my order during the time I requested and they waived this mysterious extra $20 fee. Although, I felt scammed, misled and when I called for clarification, all I got was attitude. If you guys changed your prices then, it should reflect on the website. I will not be ordering from Watanabe again. P.S.: The photos show what I paid for and what the girl at Guest Services emailed me..

See all

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.

Christine and Created For You Wedding Flowers did an AMAZING job for our wedding earlier this…read moremonth. We spoke to several flower companies and none seemed as detailed or responded back as quick as Christine did. We had never met in person but she is very efficient through email. She does get very busy so there were a few times where I had to follow up on a request made but it was not a big deal. She took care of all the boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, father of the couple, ushers, and even made mini ones for our tiny ring beareres! For my side she made my bouquet (which I wanted to have our wedding colors in my bouquet of navy blue and gray) and my bridesmaids bouquets which were all white. She also made baby's breath flower crowns for my two flower girls who were different sizes and made the size accordingly. She did the lei for our moms and also for all 25 of our out of town guests. I had wanted more color in my bouquet but I can understand how hard that would be to find navy blue and gray flowers and incorporate them, especially being in Hawaii. But I could tell that she did the best she could. Because our reception was outdoors, we opted not to have any flower decorations. Instead, we wanted to decorate the church aisle. I had asked her for baby's breath posy bouquets on every other row and then ribbon bows on the alternating rows. I sent her a picture of something that I pictured in my head which was very simple. But the bows that she created were BEAUTIFUL. They were wide material and draped beautifully. We ended up using them to redecorate our sweetheart table with them at the reception! I'll try to add some photos for reference. Christine answered all of my questions and was very patient with me in updating our flower plan as I did notice some errors throughout while editing. I highly recommend Christine M. and Created For You Flowers for any kind of floral (or ribbon!) arrangement needs!!

She was prompt to answer any questions and went above and beyond for me. When I first approached her, I told her my vision for my wedding was clean, sophisticated, all white with touches of tropical greenery. She translated my vision so well! The wedding florals turned out so beautiful and everyone was impressed! It made my wedding look so spectacular! Christine was very reasonably priced and for what she did, I would have paid more but of course I didn't tell her that lol. If you ever need a florist for your wedding, Christine and her team is amazing, you will be so impressed with your florals!
