I live 4,785 miles away from Honolulu, so for me to choose a florist without a consultation was a daunting task. Living so far away, Carmen and I first communicated via email, then over the phone. I felt an immediate connection! She was very helpful, friendly and accommodating to my situation. Some of the other vendors that I spoke with would not work within my short timeline, so it was an easy decision to work with Ewa Florist and Gifts.
Carmen used photos that I sent her to create the perfect bridal bouquet within my budget. It was made from light green Cymbidium orchids and cream roses. I gave her free range to add some fuchsia accents and other green features, and it was absolutely beautiful. She also created some lovely leis for our parents to wear during the wedding ceremony. She was able to use ribbon from my bridal shower that I mailed her to create my bouquet, which really meant a lot to me to be able to include in my ceremony. She also provided large white orchids for my hair, and even included extras! To top it off, she delivered to the condo rental where we were staying, keeping me out of the hectic O'ahu traffic on my wedding day.
If you are looking for a florist in the Ko Olina area or near Honolulu, you can't go wrong with Ewa Beach Florist and Carmen! I absolutely loved working with her!
