Todd and his crew at Always Flowers will always have such a special place in my heart :)
I may be different than other brides, but while in my planning stages, I really wanted to spend as little as possible on the flowers. I know that sound...s bad, but I was seriously appalled when I called all around Oahu for quotes. For the simplest set up (bouquet, hair flowers, centerpieces and archway decor), I was getting quoted an average of $2,500. *allow jaw to drop now* What?! I wasn't asking for flowers that were dipped in gold!! After a week of feeling like I exhausted my options, I was recommended to Todd by my photographer!! From my first email exchange with Todd, I knew I was saved!!
Todd was such a joy to work with from the planning stages, all the way through to the ceremony! After all of our fun (and productive) banter back and forth while planning, I was so excited to actually meet Todd in person at our wedding. He was UNBELIEVABLY helpful, responsive, and flexible in our communications. He knew how I was really trying to stay within a budget, and he was sweet enough to loan us vases for centerpieces, candles, and give us rose petals and a flower girl basket for the ceremony! I could just tell he really, really went out of his way to help us attain our vision, and it's sooooo appreciated on our end.
I told Todd that I am not at all picky, so he could go ahead and do whatever his artistic heart desired for our flowers. Just so long as he stayed somewhat within our color scheme. I was totally surprised and delighted when I saw my bouquet (my heart melted a little bit!). It was absolutely gorgeous. I also was so ecstatic when I got to lay eyes on my archway, and also how beautiful the centerpieces were. So simple and yet very elegant. A perfect theme for our wedding.
Meeting Todd in person was awesome, I felt like I had known him for years, haha. I loved being able to thank him in person. He is such a wonderful person, and the best florist I know!! Everything from planning, payment, delivery, set up, to relocation went so smoothly. He really went above and beyond and completely exceeded my expectations!!!
