Always Flowers 808 Weddings

Todd was so great to work with for my outdoor wedding! After just sending a few photos I found, he was able to really understand my vision. When I met with him he was so kind and helpful, and really did a great job of describing exactly what he was going to do and made me trust that he knew what I wanted--and he did! He even recommended the amount, size, and type of candles to use, and they looked great! He was very patient when my mother didn't have her phone and he couldn't get a hold of her to confirm where certain flowers were going to go. He did the set up at the ceremony location, and took into consideration the wind before spreading petals on the aisle. He and his team also moved the flowers from the ceremony space to the reception space, and used my bridal bouquet (which I LOVED) as the centerpiece for my sweetheart table. It was such an easy experience for a relatively indecisive bride with Todd's help and guidance!

After my fall-out with my old wedding planner, a florist is one of the major vendors I didn't have 2-3 months before my wedding! I was suggested to do a meeting with Todd and he was great! He suggested I buy a locket with a picture of my dad in it and he would intertwine it with my bouquet. When he delivered my flowers, he handed me my bouquet and I saw the locket and I cried! Todd and his team did an amazing job with the flowers! It was all so beautiful and I can't thank him enough for really suggesting the idea of having a locket. My heart was very happy.

Todd Oshiro from Always Flowers and his team were the best! We met with him about a year in advance to discuss ideas and he had so many that were perfect for our Great Gatsby theme. We ordered bouquets for myself and my 6 bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the men, two lei for moms, and a sweetheart table decoration. Everything was perfect! I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful floral arrangement for a wedding.

Love love love Always Flowers 808 and the owner, Todd! Todd was referred to us by our wedding planner for flowers for our wedding day. The moment we met Todd we instantly bonded. He is such a sweet person! He really works with you to ensure he provides you with flowers and arrangements to fit your event and vision. His flowers are all so beautiful and were the perfect touch to complete our wedding decor. Thank you Todd for being part of our day and we can't wait to work with him again!

Super disappointing, especially after reading the reviews, not only on here, but also on Yelp and Wedding Wire. My fiancé and I reached out on 10/22/15 and then got a reply asking us to fill out a questionnaire. We did on 10/25/15. We did not here back after a few days and then on 10/31/15, we sent a note asking if we provided enough information. It is now 11/11/15, and no response. We get that it is wedding season in Hawaii - like all the time - but you should not leave potential customers hanging. Does not make us feel good at all that we ended up without a proposal from this vendor. Not impressed at all.

Todd at Always Flowers was amazing from the beginning. My entire wedding planning with him was fun, comfortable and memorable. His arrangements for the bridal & bridesmaids bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful, the ceremony and reception decorations were breathtaking, and he's gone over and beyond what I've asked for in every piece he's made for our big day. For working with my tight budget, he really "wow"-ed me and all my guests with his generosity and thoughtful heart to making my dream wedding come true.

This review is way overdue. But I couldn’t get by life without blasting how amazing this company is. Owner, Toddy, made my wedding come true. His talent to work with flowers is just amazing. I can go one about the beautiful florals, but what I really want to say that set this company a part from other vendors was that Toddy really worked well in terms of meeting your needs, most importantly went above and beyond when I had forgotten to mention other florals I needed. Of course there’s so much going and thinking about, especially on that day. Toddy himself delivered the flowers, and left back for his office to grab additional florals for my made of honors hair that I had forgotten to add. He helped make my wedding beautiful and memorable. He and his team are very professional and I’m so glad and blessed to have worked with them.

I really don't want to write a bad review, but I don't want this to happen to another person. I would consider myself a very laid back bride. I knew exactly what I wanted, I provided examples and specific colors. All I said was make it EXACTLY like this. Whatever the cost, make it look like this. My colors where jewel tones--- and what I got was garden wedding. I cried. I actually cried. I said dark... Dark... DARK. And what I got was bright and light... and Garden. I spent $2500 dollars on ONE table... it was bare and looked ridiculous. This massive table, with a few arrangements. Ladies, if you want to work with someone who can follow directions and not do their own thing-- perhaps a different florist is for you. Don't be fooled by the good prices.

My husband and I have plans to renew our vows in HI after 15 years of marriage. I reached out to Todd on 11/5 and confirmed that he was available to help with our floral needs that same evening. I completed his client information sheet and returned it via e-mail on 11/10. I sent him a follow up e-mail on the 16th to see if he was still available and if a possible contract was available for my review. He replied the following business day (the 17th) and contributed the delay to being short handed because people were out sick. I didn’t hear back from him and decided to move on with hopes that I’d be able to find another florists considering my wedding is less than 5 weeks away. Annoyed at myself really for not reaching out to other vendors early on, but I was set on utilizing this company's floral services. All I needed was a bouquet, boutonniere, floral hair piece, and his & her leis for our super small and private wedding renewal involving just my husband, myself, our priest, and photographer. Overall, really disappointed with my experience. Please note that I have revised my original posting because Todd was offended with what I had originally written and he has asked for me remove or revise it in several e-mails. I feel bad for writing this review, but he is claiming to have sent me my contract/proposal on the 18th. I never received that e-mail containing my floral proposal and have no idea what may have happened. He suggested that I take the issue of not receiving my e-mails up with Yahoo.

I feel like I was behind on booking flowers (a month before our wedding) – especially given I had months beforehand to make a call. But I had a good planner with a good relationship and previous experience with Todd and his team so it really didn’t matter. I’m from Hawaii but live on the East Coast so it was all long distance planning. I gave Todd and his team an idea of the look I was going for. They came back with some initial ideas and from there we worked and tweaked things. A few things to note: I’m not a big flower person – so I had an idea of what I wanted but couldn’t articulate it all that well. Second, my color palette and look of my wedding was very clean, modern and simple. I was a bit worried looking at Todd’s web site initially because it seemed like much of their work were these very bold, vibrant, complex arrangements. But they executed what I was going for perfectly - simple babies breath bouquets, white hydrangea arrangements accented with green monster leaves. Maile leis for all the guys and white Micronesian ginger leis for our Moms. Todd’s team came to my hotel and were on site at our venue to deliver and set things up. Overall I was pleased with their work.

Recently had Todd from Always Flowers prepare our wedding bouquets, boutonnieres and floral arrangemensts for our reception. Each item was lovely and as described. Always Flowers also present themselves very competitively compared to other vendors we looked at. Great job, thanks Todd.

Todd & his team made my wedding floral wishes come true! I gave him a very basic idea of what I wanted & he really took my ideas to another level! I loved the centerpieces & beautiful handtied stanchion decorations & bridesmaid bouquets!

Highly recommended. Todd did my flowers for my wedding and they turned out great. He stayed within my budget and made everything look so elegant.

Working with Todd of Always Flowers was a wonderful experience. From our very first meeting he made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know us as a couple. Using his expertise and experience, he guided us through the wedding planning process, making suggestions and bringing up issues we hadn’t even considered. Todd was not only concerned with the floral arrangements; he also helped us visualize our wedding décor and ambiance as a whole. He worked to keep us within our budget and was very flexible with any changes that needed to be made. When I received my wedding bouquet and saw the beautiful arrangements he had created for our big day, I was thrilled and in awe of how well he incorporated everything we had shared with him into his final design. It’s as if he read our minds! Todd is professional and caring. We highly recommend Always Flowers to any couple looking for the perfect florist for their wedding.

Todd is passionate about weddings and floral design. He spent time to get to know our preferences and styles. He can be difficult to get into contact with, but he tends to be very busy with bridal events. He calculated our dream flowers and was able to scale back to keep things in our budget without losing anything significant. I also appreciated his contentious use of flowers that are in season and re-using pieces from our ceremony in the reception.

We received a referral to Todd at Always Flowers 808 Weddings from our photographer Steve with Dream Wedding Hawaii. I went into the meeting with a couple of ideas of some things I wanted done with the flowers at the wedding but did not really know what we wanted to do and we didn’t have a color (the bridesmaids dresses were black). For the reception I wanted tall glass vases with the orchids in water and small pebbles on the tables, so I was trying to figure out where I could purchase the vases, when I told Todd this is what I wanted he said he would provide the vases at no charge along with the pebbles. Also I wanted white orchids strung up on the arbor for the ceremony. Based on this information Todd came up with some amazing ideas, my bouquet was a deep pink orchid and my bridesmaids were carrying green orchids with a white one in their hair, the flower girls had a ball of purple orchids. The day before the wedding I realized that I didn’t know how I was going to get my bouquet before the ceremony, I hadn’t thought of that questions yet but I got a hold of Todd and he delivered the flowers right to my hotel room at the Marriott. All of the flowers throughout the ceremony and reception were orchids in a wide array of colors it was stunning to see it all come together. Our wedding was at Lanikuhonua which is very green so to add the pop of color made it all come together. Todd is very good at what he does and I highly recommend him and the people at Always Flowers!

When we first met with with Todd at Always Flowers we had no vision, no theme in mind. We only knew what our budget was. By the time the meeting was done, Todd had given us a theme and more importantly a vision. Now, you might think its crazy to leave such a big thing at the whim of your florist, but we knew that we could trust him within minutes of speaking with him. We only had an idea of what to expect, however, when we saw our ceremony site & ballroom we were beyond happy. The flowers were so full and beautiful and the set-up was breathtaking! It was far more beautiful than we could have hoped for and it set the tone of our wedding perfectly. It definitely matched our personalities and we received so many compliments from our guests. When we gave the flowers away at the end of the night, everyone wanted to take an arrangement home =) We did spend more than we planned, but at the same time everything we had should have cost so much more than we were charged. We were so blessed to have found Todd!

Todd was so easy to work with and really took the time to listen to what I wanted in my flowers. He was able to incorporate my ideas into my centerpieces and bouquet. I highly recommend Toddy...he is the best and truly loves what he does!

I booked Todd because I felt I could trust him - I am a florist but didn't want to do my own wedding flowers. I thought he understood my vision. The first time I met with him, his quote came in over budget. I met with him again, and he suggested taking out the ceremony pieces. I'm glad we did. It saved a ton of money and they wouldn't have looked good with the rest of our setup. When I went to pick up the flowers, I was a few minutes late. I called to let them know. They said it was fine. I get there, and they are still making my bouquet! They brought out a box of the rest of my order. There was no hair flowers. She tried to give me a dark purple orchid - I had ordered green. And I had ordered 2 of them. I had also ordered 2 leis for myself (1 as a replacement when the first died) and there was only 1. My husband's maile lei was supposed to have kukui nuts with it - it didn't. The flowers were gorgeous, though my bouquet was missing a flower Todd had suggested using. I would recommend Todd, because the quality of his work is amazing... But bring a copy of your contract an check everything off.

i love this man! i have a lot of problems communicating what it is exactly that i want, words are not my strongest suit. however, i told todd that i would be getting mason jars and only really wanted white flowers. i showed him a couple photos off of pinterest, but was still worried because i didn't really know how to answer a lot of his questions and was taking most of his recommendations without a lot of thought. which actually turned out GREAT. i was shocked at how perfectly the flowers were at the reception. he made it exactly how i wanted when i didn't even really know what it was i wanted! everyone complimented the arrangements, and my aunty had one that still looked good a week later! as well as doing a great job, todd is such a sweet heart, he is a joy to work with and will make you feel like family. OH and his prices are SWEET.

Todd was fantastic to deal with on the phone. He was very patient with me as I went through changes over a few weeks. Unfortunately, I was not in time to lock in delivery and setup. His flowers were great, but his staff really let us down with packing things up and didn’t seem knowledgeable about our order. My brother had to go three times – the second time b/cause they forgot to include my bridal bouquet!!!! We were frustrated, but I’m thankful that my brother was able to get everything after the three trips and it only held up photos before the ceremony a little bit. The bouquets and leis looked great. Lesson learned is to have the florist do delivery and setup.

I love Todd, not that is out of the way let me talk to you about my flowers. Todd created fantastic centerpieces for each table that everyone wanted to take home. Todd really understood what I wanted for my wedding. Each consultation with him was like talking to a good friend. He understood our laid back vibe and gave us some rustic, yet tropical flowers all while working within our budget.He arranged beautiful white orchids with roses and white Anthurium (for that tropical look). I worked with Todd from Los Angeles, and he was always very prompt with email responses and willing to work with any suggestion I gave. It felt like we were family when we went into his shop. All of the bouquets and leis were amazing as well. Did I mention I love Todd!!

My husband and I used Todd to do the flowers for our September 2012 wedding. It was hard to decide between going with him and another popular florist in the Honolulu area (Easley Designs), but it really came down to how I felt when I was talking to Todd about how I wanted the flowers to look on my wedding day. He understood exactly what I was saying and delivered 100% on our wedding day. He was also very reasonably priced! I would strongly recommend him & his talented team.

Todd Oshiro is the best! He really truly cares about what you want your wedding to look like and when I showed him what I envisioned, he took it and made it over the top! Everyone raved about the beautiful flowers and he even came down to assist with the flower arrangements when he advised someone will be there to help move the flowers from the ceremony to the reception. If you have a budget, he will help you find a way to make it work and he loans vases also. He is very honest. I would definitely recommend Todd's services to anyone getting married or for any type of event.

It was a bit hard planning a destination wedding and one of my biggest fears was ordering flowers, bouquets, boutineers, etc without having seen anything. Todd exceeded all of my expectations! He was very reasonably priced and he went above and beyond! I couldn't be happier!

Just when I when I thought I would give up finding an affordable florist for my destination wedding in Oahu, I found Always Flowers. Todd is the best. He always promptly responded to my email inquires throughout the year prior to the wedding day, and his floral designs were amazing and exceeded my expectations. I received many compliments about the wedding flowers and centerpieces from friends and family. Don't let the company website throw you off. Todd knows what he's doing, and my husband and I were so happy with his work.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Todd & company. From the moment I sat down with him at our consultation, I knew that he was going to be our florist. He had the same ideas as I did, and as I explained what I wanted/how I wanted things to look, he just got it. I wanted bling, he gave me bling - bouquets, gazebo decor, centerpieces . . . he made my dream come true. I nearly cried when I saw the bouquets because they were just so beautiful. It was exactly how I wanted it. He is truly a gifted florist/floral designer. By the end of the whole wedding planning process he became more like a friend than a vendor. How often can a bride say that? I would love to use Todd in the future, and definitely plan to refer him to all of my friends that are getting married. Thank you so much to Always Flowers for giving my husband and I such a beautiful wedding day.

Todd was wonderful. As I met numerous florists for consultations, I truly felt that Todd was the only one that listened to what I wanted. He made me feel very comfortable, his work is amazing and Aunty was so nice as well. I will forever use Todd in any future event!

I was referred to Todd with Always Flowers from a friend who had only amazing things to say about their service. I personally feel that customer service is so important; especially when planning a big event like your wedding. Needless to say, from my first consultation meeting, I had awesome customer service. I didn't have specific flower ideas, as most brides do, but Todd helped me to discover what I wanted by asking me questions on the overall vision I had for my wedding. I told him that I envisioned it be soft, romantic, neutral colors and elegant. With that information, he helped me to paint a picture of what flowers to use. Between our first consultation to 2 weeks before the wedding, I was constantly emailing Todd little changes,and he was so patient and understanding and quick with his replies. It made working with him an absolute pleasure! On the day of the wedding, I was blown away at what I saw! Amazing flowers! From the trellis decorations, to the bouquets and ballroom, it was exactly what I imagined and then some! I would refer Todd (Always Flowers) to anyone in a heart beat! He played a big part on a day that I'll never forget!

I must say Todd is an amazing florist. He can grasp your ideas right out of you head. The bouquet and the decorations were amazing. His work is really good. I guess since I didn't have too much work, he sent his workers to set up. I wish he came instead because it would've been nice to see him but I also know that there are many weddings he does during the wedding and I'm sure there were other brides who had more decorations than I did. But, his work was great and communication with him is so easy. The only downside was that they forgot a lei but I was later rein burst for that lei.

I really enjoyed working with Todd at Always Flowers. He understood my vision for the wedding, and I was very happy with how everything turned out.

I was recommended to Always Flowers from a friend who got married in Hawaii a number of years ago. He informed me that they were reasonably priced and do all the flowers for the Miss Hawaii pageants. I reached out to Todd of Always Flowers to obtain quotes on a number of things I needed (leis, arch decor, 'pew' flowers, bouquets, centerpieces, etc). He is VERY VERY responsive. I don't think 24 hours ever passed from when I sent an email to when he responded. It was great! His prices were indeed very reasonable and his service was outstanding! I have to admit, I changed my order/inquiries so many times and never once did I sense any frustration from Todd. He was such a pleasure to work with. Even when I got to Hawaii, and I stopped by the flower shop to pick up a few things I needed to prep, Todd made sure to come out to say hello. Todd / Always Flowers comes highly recommended from myself...as well as my friend. :)

We worked with Todd for our wedding. He is AMAZING. He is extremely experienced and knows the wedding business inside and out. He was able to bring my visions to life, and enhanced it with his wonderful creativity. I was soooo impressed with the flowers for our ceremony. It was unbelievably gorgeous. It was more beautiful than what I expected. Our reception centerpieces were also beautiful. He added his special touch and made everything look so classy. Todd does excellent work and is super friendly, super patient, and super energetic. His positivity is contagious. I had sooo much fun working with him. I made a new friend and would definitely go to him for any future floral needs.

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 sounds 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!!!

The owner Todd is awesome. He really tries to see what your envisioning for your wedding during your consultation. If your on a budget he can work with ou without compromising your vision. He also provide me with a contact for my linens.

Todd and the Always Flowers staff were so great to work with! When we had our consultation with Todd, it felt like we were catching up with a family friend. He also has such great ideas - my husband's mother passed away and we wanted to memorialize her in some way during the ceremony, and Todd had such a great idea that we used on our wedding day. The flowers and lei were so beautiful! Our ceremony and reception sites were in 2 different locations and we wanted to reuse the pew decorations as part of our centerpieces. Todd and his team were so quick; they broke down the ceremony site and set up our centerpieces so efficiently that we were able to open our doors a little earlier - which was great for our older guests! We really enjoyed working with Todd and would recommend him to anyone!

I went there with not knowing what I wanted and left satisfied! I never spent so much on flowers before but it adds alot to your wedding in a good way!

I absolutely loved my arrangements and especially my huge bouquet. Everything that Todd and his team did was more than I ever imagined.

Our original florist had to step down due to health concerns, so Dianna recommended Todd at Always Flowers to us. From the moment he emailed me I knew we’d get along well. He was easy to work with, sent a few ideas/inspirations over & he knew what to do. I mailed our ribbon sample to him for comparison & he matched it perfectly. I was blown away when I walked in to our site. From the archway to the leis’ & bouquets, it was all beautiful! I loved the single protea in the bottom of each clear vase with the arrangement on top of that. It looked really cool & exactly what I wanted. Overall, I completely trusted Todd & he delivered in a big way for me. Also stayed BELOW my budget! Loved that!

Todd is truly great at what he does. He made my bouquets more beautiful than I imagined them. He implemented my style and my personality into the bouquets. He is flexible on pricing and will work with any budget that you have.

Todd is very creative and artistic. We loved what he came up with for our wedding. Very easy to work with. We gave the parameters, and he ran with the theme. Very accomodating where we wanted to add other items. He would also give his honest opinion if it would match or not. Would definitely use Always Flowers again!

I met with T a couple of times to talk about our vision for the day. One of the sweetest, nicest guys you'll ever meet. He was so excited about what we wanted to do and was totally flexible and nice about adding extras at no charge. We had wanted soft, romantic flowers and design and he was super excited, which made us excited. Flower arrangements were NOT what we had in mind. They were not soft and romantic and had colors that were not in line with our theme. Needless to say, very disappointed in the end result. The groom's boutinierre was wilting by midday. =( He's great to work with but definitely show pictures on exactly what you want. And he'll work with you on the price.

Todd was extremely helpful since day 1! Our wedding was a destination wedding which could get stressful, but Todd made it so easy! I emailed him all my ideas and he made them a reality! He responded to my emails so quickly and when he delivered the centerpieces and other flowers, they were more than I could have asked for. The flowers turned out absolutely perfect!

Todd from always flowers was a pleasure to work with. He made me feel like our wedding really mattered, and that we werent just customers.

Todd Oshiro from Always Flowers is an outstanding florist. He exceeded our expectations with his floral arrangements and quality of flowers. Always Flowers is highly recommended.
