    Absolutely stunning work!

    Everything was beautiful. They took my inspiration photos and exceeded our expectations. My bouquet brought tears to my eyes. Our flowers were vibrant, seasonal, sturdy, and fragrant. We were able to enjoy our potted arrangements for an additional week on our hotel balcony. I translated my bouquet back home and it lasted for TWO WEEKS in a vase. Just wow!

    Like they saw my Pinterest board

    Watanabe Floral was incredible for our wedding day. After our first consultation meeting, we were sent a rough quote and vision board. It was almost like they had spent months pouring over my Pinterest board. They can get busy during peak floral seasons (such as Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and graduation season), but it is so worth it. Our florals were absolutely stunning and exactly what I had envisioned.

    Watanabe Floral's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day!! We're so blessed!!! We are excited that everything went well and wish you both the most amazing day!!

    Beautiful job and easy to work with

    Watanabe Floral did the most incredible job with the flowers for my wedding. I had some ideas and some specific flowers I did and didn't want in the bouquet, and they brought my vision to life and made it more beautiful than I could have imagined! I received so many compliments about the bouquets, centerpieces, and floral arch that Watanabe provided. I emailed back and forth with Cari a ton leading up to the wedding and she was always prompt and super helpful. It was very easy to work with them and I highly recommend them!

    Mahalo!

    High Quality & Beautiful Flowers

    Joni and Watanabe Floral were amazing to work with for our destination wedding. We were looking for a florist that was in our budget and they definitely were. Joni was very responsive via e-mail and through phone calls when e-mails were too tiring to write because I had so many questions.

    The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful and they came out just like how I asked Joni for them. The ti leaf leis and orchid leis were all beautiful. For the reception, we repurposed the bridesmaids’ bouquets and used them as the decoration for the sweetheart table and it was still beautiful. We also ordered monstera leaves and loose orchids for the reception tables. All of the flowers that we ordered for our wedding day were beautiful and fresh.

    I also ordered an all-white-flower haku lei for the reception which was beautiful. I read some reviews on here complaining that the ties Watanabe uses for the haku leis are plastic or something and not actual ribbons. No one even sees it—everyone focuses on the flowers. And my haku was beautiful.

    Watanabe was also very punctual when it came to delivering the flowers to where they needed to be; communication was excellent with them. They were also very patient when I had to constantly send them revision after revision.

    I would highly recommend Watanabe Floral if you are looking for a high quality florist that won’t hurt your wallet.

    Thank you so much, Kelsey for the kind words! We are the fortunate and blessed one to have been a part of your special day!!!!

    Accommodating and helpful!

    We placed a relatively small order with Watanabe Floral for our wedding, for us to pick up ourselves. They did a great job! The bouquets were lovely and the leis were gorgeous! The bridal bouquet did not come out exactly as envisioned, but they were very quick to accommodate last-minute changes!

    My fiancé and I are from Nashville, Tennessee and we found Wantanabe Floral online. I emailed and worked with Joni, and she was amazing! I sent her a few inspiration photos and asked what she suggested, and she told me all of my options and a few combinations that she suggested and she outdid herself! She was wonderful to work with! Very easy to communicate with and she did a great job! She did my bouquet and my husbands boutineer!

    We are THRILLED we were able to help you with your special day!!! We wish you both nothing but the best and we will be cheering on our Marcus Mariota in your hometown!!! Take care!!

    Dayna and Watanabe Florist were wonderful. It was my daughter’s wedding and being that she was attending school in the mainland, my husband and I had to do everything. Dayna provided the guidance and support we needed and the best thing is that she stayed within our budget. My daughter loved the bouquets and the flowers for the ceremony and everything turned out beautiful. We received so many compliments from everyone. The out of town guests also loved the dendrobium orchid leis.

    Watanabe Floral was incredibly flexible, generous and caring throughout the entire wedding process. We were impressed by their organization and responsiveness. They went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. I even ordered my hair piece from there and they sent two customized ones for the price of one so that I could pick my favorite—we couldn’t ask for a more loving group of people to work with leading up to our big day! Thank you!

    As someone who knows very little about choosing flowers for a wedding, they did a great job at walking us through the process. Our wedding was planned by myself, my husband, and our families, all who aren't incredibly experienced with wedding planning. We set up an appointment with Watanabe Floral and they asked us simple questions. They asked what my wedding colors were and my favorite flowers, and make the perfect bouquet for myself and my bridesmaids using orange daisies and blue hydrangeas. They were incredible. I highly recommend them!

    Watanabe Floral is hands down the best florist on Oahu! I do suggest that you stick to calling or better yet speaking to them in person. They are such a busy floral shop that emailing is not really their strongest suit. Other than that, their staff was absolutely wonderful to work with! My bouquet was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I'm so glad I decided to go with Watanabe. They are affordable and extremely reliable. You get what you pay for, and Watanabe Floral is definitely worth it!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare this review! We are so grateful, not only for the review, but for the opportunity to work with you on your special day!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

    Dayna and her team were amazing!! The flowers for our wedding were everything we wanted and more. Dayna worked very hard and I was a very detailed bride. I had a specific vision and Dayna totally delivered. The value was amazing on what we received; some companies quoted us $6000++ and Watanabe was able to give us all we wanted for $3,000. Highly, highly recommend them and request Dayna!

    Hands down the most amazing flower shop around. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Watanabe Floral. When I first started planning my wedding, I went with another florist who had unfortunately canceled on me a month before my wedding date. In a sheer moment of panic, I emailed Watanabe Floral and they responded within 24 hours about my concerned needs. I worked with Susan, who was nothing but an angel to help me with my wedding bouquets. She was extremely prompt, answered all of my questions, and even offered me many suggestions along with prices that was budget friendly and reasonable. I specifically wanted sunflowers in my bouquets and they had no problem doing this for me. I showed Susan pictures of bouquets I wanted and she was able to get it done exactly like it. We communicated all through email, but this was not a problem as she responded quickly to me. On the day of my wedding, my flowers were delivered promptly to my hotel (Ko'olina) and they were even more beautiful than I imagined. My cascade bouquet and my four bridesmaids bouquets were exquisite and looked even better than the picture I sent to copy. Overall, I was so happy with the way my flowers turned out as well as the price that I paid for them. I would definitely use their service again!

    So So So Amazing!! I was blown away with how incredible the flowers for our wedding day turned out. They were so lovely to work with. I had to organise everything from Australia and pretty much sent inspiration photos I had saved online. They ended up being BETTER than I could have ever imagined and such a great price!! What a wonderful company to work with, and such quality and timely service and kept within our budget. They even emailed me picture of a practice bouquet a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure I was still happy with what I had chosen. Love Watanabe Floral!!!

    Watanabe Floral did an AMAZING job in creating the most beautiful bouquet, and providing gorgeous flowers for our centerpieces for our wedding! Dayna was such a pleasure to work with through the process, and I can't thank her and the rest of the team enough for the awesome work they did. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding day flowers!

    I initially went with Watanabe because they were the first company who returned my email inquiry. Dianna was my assigned florist and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. She was unbelievably patient with me, answered all of my questions, provided suggestions, but still kept my best interest and budget in mind. I'm not really big on flowers so I didn't really have a clear vision of what I wanted. I just showed Dianna a few pictures from Pinterest that displayed elements that I liked and she made my vision come to life. I received so many compliments on my bouquet. My cascading bouquet was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. It matched perfectly with the "classic, elegant" theme/look I was trying to achieve. Not only did all the floral arrangements exceed my expectations, but Dianna was incredibly attentive to my needs. She continuously checked in with me and even the day before the wedding she kept me updated with my order. She was truly a blessing to work with and I would recommend her services in a heartbeat!

    Watanabe Floral is one of the busiest florists in Honolulu. However Shaye Mullaney kept it together with everything for us. :) She was so helpful and kind! And when we saw our flower centerpieces and bouquets on our special day, it took our breath away. It was the most beautiful sunflower arrangements I had ever seen. :)

    Rona did an excellent job of making my vision come to life. She was prompt in responding and truly listened to what I wanted. The flower arrangements that I ordered were beautiful and our guests were impressed. The florists at Watanabes also can truly work with your budget. They can suggest how to take your vision and replicate it with flowers that cost less. I definitely recommend working with Watanabes. They are well known on the island for a high quality product at the most affordable price.

    I hired Watanabe Floral for my wedding. I met with Dana at the Nimitz location months before my wedding. I had a tough color scheme to match (sea foam and lavender) but she knew exactly what kinds of flowers to put together to fit the theme and my budget. She was very responsive to my emails in the months leading up to the wedding (I had to change some of the original plans we made, and even added a few things near the end like a tosser bouquet and leis for our parents). The day of the event the flowers came right on time and it was a smooth drop off. I was so impressed with how they packaged everything - it looked great and kept so well in the air conditioned hotel room. The arrangements were so gorgeous and really added to our wedding party.

    Shaye has been a huge help in such a very short amount of time. She did however, informed me that this normally requires at least 3 weeks in advance (very professional) at my 2 week in advance notice and not too mention making the payment the week prior.
    Everyone was very helpful from working with Shaye down to the payment and receiving of the flowers. The selection of flowers was great according to the picture, but was far better in reality.
    Thanks again to all the staff that had a hand into creating the flowers for my son and my daughter-in-law on their special day.
