  Say YES to Ainahua!

  Kelsi did an AMZING job with our wedding florals! She communicated with me every step of the way on what I was looking for and was flexible when I needed to make changes to our order. My haku lei and bouquet were SO MUCH better than I could have ever hoped for. Mahalo!

  Kelsi from Ainahua Florals Could not have been more professional and accommodating for our daughter’s wedding. From the moment we interviewed prior to the wedding where she brought several floral examples to an outstandingly beautifully decorated ceremony and reception, Kelsi showed her expertise. The colors, arrangements, arch, bouquets, and accents were perfect as she made us all so proud! Kelsi is a gem!

  I used Ainahua Florals for my recent 1/6/17 Kahua Ranch wedding. Prior to the event I was in regular contact with Kelsi whom I found to be amazingly helpful. The reviews that state returned contact wasn't quick are true, some email responses were about a week turn around time, however if you are organized and planning well in advance this is not an issue. I did not find it to be an issue as she was helpful and delightful to work with. When coming from the mainland it's important to remember, you're getting married in Hawaii for that laid back vibe stressing over email response times months out is not worth it in the big picture, things will get done. For the big day I ordered a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, bridal lei, groom lei, and lei's for our mothers and everything was AMAZING. I received so many compliments on all the florals, not to mention they smelled amazing. Kelsi allowed me to customize our mothers leis which were traditionally worn as head pieces and she also made a custom boutonniere for the groom. I am so pleased I went with Ainahua Florals and I found their prices to be extremely reasonable especially since our venue had some steep delivery fees from other vendors.

  My florals were perfect on my wedding day. As a bride, this piece is crucial. The last thing you want on your wedding day, is for the florals to be off. They were PERFECT. Communication was great, I was in a constant email thread with them and had no issues telling them what I wanted, how I wanted the florals, and working on the invoice/payment. I would highly recommend them. Finding an affordable florist in Hawai'i is not the easiest task, but Ainahua was worth every penny- definitely affordable.

  I did extensive searches online looking for a florist on the Big Island. We found Ainahua Florals and called to make sure they were a true company on the Big Island. We did a private sunset ceremony in October at the Four Seasons at Hualalai and we used Ainahua Florals to make our wedding leis. We ordered 2 maile leis with white orchid twists and we were absolutely happy with the leis!
  
  We chose to pick up our leis on our way back from zip lining in Hilo. I would say to call them for directions. The navigation system in our rental kind of got us turned around a bit. We called and they gave us great directions back to their shop.
  
  We will certainly remember them. Their flowers are beautiful and they are fresh! We highly recommend them and will use them again in the future!

  I was sold as soon as I saw the Facebook page. All the pictures along with the ones on the website made choosing our special flowers so much easier. Seeing all the albums on Facebook worked on great too as you could select flowers and know how they would fit into your weddings event.
  Thank you so much!

  Loved our wedding LEIs!

  We used ainahua florals for our LEIs/flower crown for the wedding on island. Their pricing was definitely the best that we found. They arrived within the promised delivery window, and were in perfect condition, and they looked beautiful on the day of. We would definitely recommend them!

  We could not have been happier with our experience with Ainahua Florals. Kelsi was absolutely great to work with. She took our rather vague ideas and turned them into exactly what we had envisioned. Her suggestions were fantastic and she was always responsive when we had questions. Most importantly, the flowers at our wedding were beautiful.

  Kelsi with Ainahua Florals was terrific to work with. Very responsive. Prior to our destination we spent months emailing back and forth making sure we had all of the flowers ready for our several events we hosted in Kona. All of the pieces we picked for our different events were exactly what we hoped for. The flowers were very fresh and the arrangements were beautiful. Its tough when you do a destination wedding not knowing any of the vendors and just trusting their work will be what you want. Ainahua Florals were everything we hoped they would be and more. Thank you Kelsi for doing such a great job with the arrangements at our different events.
  
  Kindly,
  Matt and Michele

  Ainahua Florals were able to get a 3-strand pikake lei pulled together for my wedding in December. Pikake is harder to get at this time of year, so that was amazing!

  Thank you Ainahua Florals!

  We were married on the big island and we had Ainahua Florals do our centerpieces, bouquets, cake flowers and arch decor and they did an amazing job. I worked with Kelsi. I provided her with a color scheme and listed some types of flowers that we liked and everything exceeded our expectations. Everything was so beautiful! We are grateful that Ainahua Florals was a part of our big day!

  I chose flowers from photos since we did a destination wedding and were unable to meet with the florist before the wedding. The flowers I chose were delivered to my room on time and they were beautiful! They were even able to custom make florals for my centerpieces that matched my bouquet!

  Working with Ainahua was a breeze! There were a few snafus in terms of the hotel's coordination with the florist, but the florist was great to work with over email and was really easy to deal with! When I chose a couple of items that were out of season they let me know and gave me alternatives to use if I was interested. The flowers were beautiful and I was sad it was a destination wedding so I couldn't take them home. Really great to work with.

  We met with Ainahua at their shop months in advance to decide what arrangements we wanted. They were able to show us photobooks with examples and flowers in person, which was nice. Over the next few months, there were a few instances where responses were slow and we had to send multiple emails or have our wedding coordinator get in contact with them. The price was a bit steep, but my understanding is that they are on par with other places on the island. The flowers came out beautiful and on time in the end. They were accommodating to our wishes to utilize our arch flowers in our reception, which was also nice. We chose to supply our own centerpieces to save on cost, as there are many areas on the Big Island to purchase your own.

  My florals were beautiful, but the communication with this company made it a less than ideal situation.

  Reviews on other sites (the knot.com) indicate that they are non-responsive as a rule. This was true for us: we tried multiple times to get a response to our emails, were told that there was an emergency, so ok we waited. Then nothing else happened - we never received an invoice for our upcoming wedding florals: nothing.
  
  Our hotel contacted them stating that we would drop them, and then suddenly an invoice - with incorrect prices (the smaller kid's lei is now listed as the same price as a larger

  Communication is definitely their worst side! Beautiful flowers and arrangements, everything was delivered on time. Except that on my wedding day I found out that I am not getting the flowers for my hair-do. Their response - you haven't followed up with us regarding them... My question was "why haven't you followed up instead?"
  
  Very unprofessional... Though at the end I was happy with my hair even without the flowers.
