Watanabe Floral, Inc.

Amazing customer service! Would recommend.

I decided to make my own bouquets since it was cheaper thank having it done. The lady who I was speaking to prior to placing my order said to pick up the flowers two days before the event. I should have picked up the flowers the day before the wedding instead because my flowers were dying especially since dalias were more delicate than others. The petals were literally falling apart the day I took them out the wine cellar which the lady said it was ok to put in.

Everything was perfect and beautiful! Reasonable price as well! The flowers made my hawaii wedding everything I wanted it to be!

I worked with Joni from Watanabe Floral for months before my wedding. I live in Washington and we were planning a destination wedding at Turtle Bay Resort on the north shore of Oahu. She was always so quick to respond to my emails and/or phone calls, was very patient with me when I was being indecisive, and was extremely accommodating to my requests, even if they were last minute. The flowers we ordered were absolutely beautiful! Just what I wanted! We ordered a bouquet for me, 6 bouquets for my bridesmaids, a lei for my husband, and a Haku floral crown for my stepdaughter. I would definitely work with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great florist!

Wow! my bouquet was more beautiful than I expected. Delivery to the hotel was on time. I could not have been happier. Everone says the leis and bouquet were the prettiest they've ever seen. Thank you Watanabe!!

For our vow renewal we wanted everyone to receive a lei, my three young girls and I wore haiku(or as they call them flower crowns). We are extremely happy with everything Watanabe provided us. Dayna was amazing and so helpful throughout the planning process and communication was a breeze. All the flowers smelled incredible and made the day that much better!

Don't be put off by their customer service when you actually go into their shop . They are amazing florests. I recently got married in Oahu on 5-12-2016 and for a year worked with Shaye over the phone letting her know what I wanted and color schemes. She is AMAZING! When we got to the island on the 9th we headed to the florist that Tuesday and made sure everything still was ready to go and correct plus we had to order leis for the moms. The customer service at the counter was rude but I'm going to say maybe she just wasn't having a good day . When the flowers arrived at the church ...BREATHTAKING ! the two centerpieces , the bouquets , the leis , everything was beautiful. Working with someone over the phone for a year and not seeing it till the day of is incredible in its own right but seeing your expectations be blown away was an amazing feeling. Thank you Shaye and thank you Watanabe Foral

Dana our florist is very helpful with our arrangements and our needs. However, on the day of our wedding, their driver didn't follow the instructions that was given to him. The driver didn't drop off the flowers to my coordinators. To make the story short, this hiatus caused damages and some of my guests missed the ceremony because they have to arrange my reception tables.

I had a small ceremony on Oahu and decided to tackle my own floral arrangements. Watanabe has reasonable prices and even gives you a "wholesale" price break if you spend over a certain amount. I was able to create 7 centerpiece arrangements, a large bouquet and 6 small vases for under $300. I used roses and tropical flowers. They have a great selection of proteas. FloraDec located nearby is a good place to pick up any extra supplies needed. I went to FloraDec for a good selection of glass vases, different sizes of floral wire, floral tape, etc. I'm so happy that I did business with Watanabe Floral! They are friendly folks with good prices.

We used Watanabe Floral for our bridal party floral. Since it was a destination wedding, everything had to be done over email/phone. We were very impressed with their prompt responses, and willingness to give quotes, suggestions and help. Unfortunately, a flower in my bouquet ended up staining my dress, so I would hope they be more careful with dyes in the future. Their rates are quite standard for Hawaii.

I worked with Shaye at Watanabe and she was amazing!!! So accommodating with wonderful ideas. Going in, I had no idea what kind of flowers I wanted, and she was able to build the perfect floral arrangements for us! I would highly recommend Watanabe Floral for all your wedding needs.

Dana was phenomenal and worked with me to create a special, customized look. While I was very happy with all of our flower arrangements, it was a little on the pricey side.

Watanabe were great to work with--as a bride who wasn't quite sure what she wanted for the flowers, it was nice to have Dani and her team to bounce ideas off of. In the end I loved the centerpieces and the other flowers and Lei they provided. When one of the flowers arrived in a different color than what we had ordered they contacted me immediately to discuss our options and after the fact they offered me a discount on my order. They were very responsive and the flowers ended up being beautiful! I really appreciated working with a vendor that genuinely cared about my big day!

I got married outdoors at Turtle Bay and had my reception at Waimea Valley, so I knew I didn't need to spend much money on flowers. I just wanted leis, bridesmaids bouquets, and a bridal bouquet, as well as centerpiece flowers. However, I was on a budget with flowers, and the leis and centerpiece flowers were too expensive. So, I ended up buying the centerpiece flowers at Home Depot (so much cheaper, and the flowers were just as beautiful!), and the leis at the airport Again, it was much more affordable and just as nice; the only problem with getting flowers myself was having to deal with transporting the flowers in a cooler/ storing them in a fridge overnight, which took up a lot of space and was a hassle, as well as transporting them to the wedding without them dying. Anyway, I told the woman I worked with at Watanabe that I didn't want to spend more than $100 on a bridal bouquet, which I know is low, but she was totally willing to work with that. I emailed her some pictures of my ideas and we went from there, whereas with other florists I felt judged for my low budget. Watanabe made me a small but beautiful purple and white rose bouquet with orchids, and made a white rose bouquet for my 5 bridesmaids. They were wrapped and pinned perfectly, and I didn't mind that they were small because we were all wearing leis. The only thing was that my bouquet was browning a little on the edges by the end of the night when the photographer wanted to take a picture of the rings in the bouquet, but I don't fault that on Watanabe-- my other had been transporting the bouquet and they were passed along a few hands on their way upstairs to our hotel room before the ceremony; in addition, I'd done the bouquet toss and had been dancing and photographing with it all day and night, and it was only at the very end of the night did it brown a little, which I didn't mind because I didn't plan on preserving it anyway. Professional, fast, and quality service! I also appreciated that Watanabe worked with me on a tight timeline, about 2 weeks before the wedding-- I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't find anyone to work within my budget, but Watanabe did!

We ordered all of our flowers through Watanabe for our wedding, including several Maile Leis. Everything came out perfect. They delivered everything and set it all up the day of the wedding. Our bouquets and centerpieces were stunning; guests were asking to take them home (which of course was fine by us)! This was one of the easiest vendors we worked with and dollar for dollar they are by far the best on Oahu.

Watanabe Florals came to my rescue! With my initial florist backing out, I needed a florist ASAP. Dayna was very helpful and spent a good amount of time with me in figuring out what I really wanted for the wedding. She answered all my questions, even gave suggestions which was great. Even down to the wire, I had requested some changes to the bouquets due to my budget, which she easily accommodated and made everything work out.

My mom was florist but we just ordered flowers here. Flowers got in time, nothing missed. Service was good

Watanabe Florist was the only place on the island that I was able to find that sold wholesale flowers. This was great for me because a friend of mine had agreed to help arrange the flowers for my wedding. They had a wide variety of flowers (though unfortunately most were not local) and they were able to deliver everything just as promised. Highly recommend!

I had a destination wedding on Oahu, and was planning it myself from Colorado. I had to work with the florist strictly over the phone and email and they were wonderful. I only gave them my wedding colors and the specific flowers that I wanted in my bridal bouquet, otherwise I trusted them to design the floral arrangements and I was so incredibly happy with the result! Everything from the bouquets, table arrangements, and lei's were beautiful and perfect! I gave them my budget, and they were actually able to do everything for a little under that!

Watanabe was so easy to work with! I bought my flowers from them, but arranged them myself. They did a great job with recommending different flowers if some weren't in season. If some blooms weren't in season they did their best to get the closest bloom. I ordered mums in white and off white, but they were only able to bring in white. They did a good job at giving us different options since we did not get our first choice of off white mums. Overall, they were very helpful and a pleasure to work with!

Watanabe created a beautiful aisle design out of rose petals, decorated the bamboo arch, created all of our bouquets, leis, and centerpieces. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful. One of the main reasons I chose them was for the price. By buying Watanabe gift cards at Costco, I immediately saved 20%, then by showing a UH ticket stub, I got another 10% off. My only complaint would be that my bridal bouquet ended up on the small side (same size as the bridesmaid bouquet). But that was a minor issue.

Our coordinator was very helpful. She showed us many flowers and ideas, and tried to stay within our budget. My bouquet, headband, centerpiece, and flowers that were for the flower arch were great.

We ordered my bridal bouquet and 12 leis from Watanabe. Dani was very helpful from our first consultation when we visited Hawaii for our vendor scouting trip. She kept in touch with me through the entire planning process and emailed me pictures of different ideas that we could do. She was very responsive to all my emails and was able to help me pick a bouquet and leis that would keep us under our flower budget. I would recommend Watanabe to other Hawaii brides.

I scheduled an appointment with the consultant whom to me appeared very young. We discussed some elements I might want but she did not bring any flowers in for me to see. I never received a phone call with a quote so I ended up looking elsewhere.

Watanabe can help make your centerpieces and decorate with you, but i wanted to everything myself. It was fun shopping in the big refrigerator full of flowers. Extremely affordable! AND i got our leis here too. I ordered a pikake lei ahead of time and they came through with a beautiful fresh five strand lei. :-)

Rona at Watanabe was the best to work with. I met with her with some vague ideas of colors and styles and a very fixed budget!! She helped to bring my ideas to life while advising me on how to cut costs so that I could have the look I was going for without overspending. I REALLY appreciated this aspect of her service. She kept in constant touch with me and made changes where necessary and the flowers were gorgeous! On a side note - Costco offers discounted gift cards for Watanabe and you can use them to pay for your entire order. This saved me 20% on flowers!!! Excellent service and value.

My bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces were more beautiful than I expected. Danielle from Watanabe Floral was very professional, she knew exactly what I wanted and used all the colors that I wanted in my bouquet. Thanks to Watanabe Floral for delivering such beautiful flowers. Sincerely, Jesse and Cindy Garcia

Flowers looked great, but the arrangement wasn't what I wanted.

I used Watanabe Floral for floral lei for special family and the wedding party. Of the other florists that I checked out, Watanabe Floral had the best price for the product. All the lei were beautiful and ready for pick up when we asked for them.

I loved my flowers. Being a destination bride I had know Idea what my flowers would look like when I ordred them, but when they were delived they were exactly as I had described over the phone. Everything I ordered was perfect.

I ordered Calla Lilies from Watanabe. We made the bridesmaid's bouquets ourselves, so I just ordered loose flowers. The price was okay and it was easy to order, and the flowers were ready on time and were of good quality. The staff was courteous, but no one went above and beyond to help me. I had a few questions about what the best flowers to use would be and I didn't get the best answers. I felt like the staff didn't really care to help me out if I wasn't having them make the bouquets. All in all though, the flowers were of pretty good quality, and okay price, and they were ready on time.

Flowers came out beautifully, better than I imagined. A little pricey for us and the service needs to respond quicker. I called to inquire about an extra lei and they didn't get back to me until 1 week later.

My wedding was on mother's day weekend in Oahu and I could not find any florists that would take on a large order. I went into Watanabe the day after I arrived on Oahu (3 days before the wedding) and had no idea what I wanted. The nicest girl who worked there totally helped us out. Even though they couldn't make the bouquets for us (one of my bridesmaids was really good with flowers) she totally talked to me about what would and wouldn't work. She had cute style and totally knew what I wanted. I got a lot of babies breath, snowball mums, white orchids and Eucalyptus. For about $600 I had 13 centerpieces and 8 bouquets and bootineers as well as 10 nice leis. We picked them up the night before the wedding and all my bridesmaids sat around and helped make bouquets and talk wedding. Very fun and cheap!

I spoke to several vendors about flowers and watanabe was by far the cheapest. It took several attempts and going back and forth to get the colors that I wanted, but after all of that they made beautiful arrangements and bouquets and they stuck to my budget of $2000 ($55 per centerpiece)!

I'm so glad I went with Watanabe Floral to create my bouquet, as well as bouquets/boutineers for my bridal party. From my consultation, I was able to choose from hundreds of flowers to create my special bouquets. They color matched ribbons to perfectly match my bridesmaids dresses. This attention to detail is astounding, very much appreciated.

I'm not a huge fan of flowers and spending money on something that's going to die... So I managed to keep the total cost of my flowers under $1500. Rona worked with us to make sure we got everything we needed and still stayed within my budget. We even bought lei for the out of town guests!

Watanabe provided us with beautiful flowers sold in bulk which we turned into centerpieces. The flowers were in great condition and fit the description of our order perfectly. Great prices and good consultations.

Included as part of a "wedding package" we did not deal directly with the florist, but through the wedding coordinator. We could not have been happier with the flowers. Fragrant yellow plumerias lined the aisle and were used in the "flower shower," a couplet of beautiful yellow cymbium orhids with greenery decorated the aisle chairs, amazing bouquet of yellow cymbidiums and yellow calla lilies really popped in the pictures. Centerpieces made of tropical greens and yellow and pink cymbium orchids on a monkeypod plate were fought over at the tables and were very reasonably priced compared with other floral centerpieces. Highly recommend!

I went to Watanabe Floral with my wedding planner, kind of last-minute. I didn't expect to have amazing flowers, but I did! My bridesmaids carried gorgeous purple orchids, which were also used for the centerpieces and other décor. My bridal bouquet was unlike any bridal bouquet I've ever seen. I know every bride thinks her bouquet is the best, but this bouquet was out of this world. Even the florists were raving about how gorgeous it was. The leis my husband and his groomsmen wore were awesome, and the mothers' corsages were a perfect accent to their dresses/my centerpieces. I LOVED my flowers.

We did not go overboard with our flowers and Watanabe delivered exactly what we wanted. Customer service was great and the flowers were fresh and bright.

Watanabe was very flexible about revising my order after getting into Hawaii for a destination wedding. They have some rules they can't break, but also offer many alternatives in those cases. In the end, we had beautiful and matching flowers for all pieces for the bride and groom.

Gorgeous bouquets and floral arrangements!

I provided Watanabe samples of arrangements and they delivered exactly what I was looking for. They are great but pricey!

The first Time we Went to Watanabe Florals the woman that helped us was wonderful she helped us with everything and us being a shy couple her kindness and willingness to answer all our questions was great. We went back for a second time to actually order the flowers because the service there the first time was great , but unfortunately the actual Consultant for ordering the Wedding flowers wasn't as pleasant as the woman that helped us on our first visit every question we asked got answered with an attitude and rolling eyes it was my first time ever ordering a flowers I didn't know what was what and she wasn't even willing to help or give advice she never smiled and constantly talked with an attitude. so when we asked for prices of our bridesmaids flowers she said it was 34$ which was only three orchids wrapped in ribbon nothing fancy it was the same prices as our groomsmens leis, our family friend said she could probably make one cheaper so we ordered everything that day except for the bridesmaids flowers , things changed so we had to go back for a 3rd time to order the bridesmaids flowers I was hoping that consultant would have a day off when we went again but when we went she was there with the same Attitude and rolling eyes we asked if the price was still 34$ for orchids and she said with the meanest face " what ? It's not 34 is $100 ) I told her about our conversation the last time and she rolled her eyes and said she would never say it was that price she was not friendly at all . So we didn't order our bridmaids flowers from them . My bouquet turned out beautiful and the lei were gorgeous the quality is excellent the service of " ONE " was Horrible she is the only one in cahrge for the orders of wedding flowers so if you plan on ordering from there BEWARE of her and her Attitude!

Excellent service, easy, quick communication with all ordering done over the phone. Items were beautiful.
