Mike brings a rare level of expertise to his craft; his family hails from a long line of florists down in the Bel-Air area, and he and his wife have successfully run this incredible business for approximately 35 years.

She was kind enough to come meet us in person when we visited the Island prior to our wedding and we instantly clicked with her. She is super creative and you can tell she loves what she does. We gave her the high level inspiration of what we were looking for and let her create and she beyond delivered. My flowers are one of the most complimented things of our wedding thanks to her. She did our amazing arch flowers, all bridal bouquets, a flower crown for the flower girl and one for me for the rehearsal dinner as well as our sweetheart table, bar arrangements and all of the flower runners for our reception tables. As a type A, destination bride who planned the entire thing myself I found it hard to find reviews at times but can promise you you won't be disappointed with Britt and Wild Blooms!!

I hired Brittany to do my arch arrangement, bridal bouquet, lei po'o, and grooms ti leaf lei. I sent her about a dozen random pictures of flowers I liked and she understood what I was looking for right away. The arrangements she created were unbelievably beautiful, exactly what I wanted and didn't know how to ask for. Everything had so much movement and grace, and photographed like a dream!!! On top of that, she was super easy to communicate with over email, very responsive, unlike many other vendors I interacted with. Her prices are totally fair, especially considering the quality of her work. 10/10 would recommend for any important event you might have!!

In our monthly planning calls, chats in the Aisle Planner platform Contacts section, "shower thoughts" email threads and text chains as the big day approached, Molly was always proactive, responsive, kind and fun to work with.

I cannot recommend this fantastic team enough for their high level of attention to detail and A+ execution on my vision for my Bridal Dinner, Welcome Party, Ceremony, Reception, After Party, and Goodbye Breakfast.

My husband and I got married in April 2024 and we started the planning process about a year and a half before the wedding. Throughout the months, Kirsten was an excellent communicator, organized, and very kind. We emailed and texted regularly, had monthly meetings (weekly meetings when we got closer to the wedding), and she made sure to followed up on tasks that I needed to do as a bride. I never felt stressed with planning the wedding, and I know that is ultimately because of Kirsten. I trusted her from the beginning, not only because of her amazing experience, but because she is a good person and executes the job well. She and her team also planned our welcome party, which was breath taking. Everything was beyond perfect. Kirsten, thank you for all you and your team did for our special day. You made us feel like the most badass bride and groom. Thank you for everything!

Here's what happened to me. You all can make your own mind about it…read more I first spoke in person with the shop owner about a year ago, (I hoped to order flowers for my wedding that happened just this week). I asked about bouquets and leis with local flowers. I agreed to order 2 sets of leis for parents, 1 lei for the groom, 1 bouquet for the bride, and 5 bouquets for the bridesmaids. I asked if we could stay within budget, as I prefer to go simpler instead of extravagant. I was asked to email this order, and I did, and I was told that it was possible to stay within budget. In March, I called the shop hoping to stay in touch and ended up leaving a voicemail. Several days later, I finally got a call back. Uncle Bucky confirmed my order and budget. Last week (a week before the wedding), I expected a courtesy call from the shop and never received any. So, I called the shop. I also wanted to pay for my order ahead of time. I called several times, but no one answered the phone. Online, when I googled the shop, it said that the shop was permanently closed. I asked several friends if they knew another way to contact the shop owner, but no one had an alternate phone number (not even the friend who knew someone who used to work there). So, I tried calling the shop again and finally got a hold of someone who gave the phone to the shop owner after asking who was calling. The shop owner said, "I was about to call you." We agreed to meet in person one more time. I came in later that day. We reviewed the order that was written on the email. We confirmed the order. Uncle Bucky told me that the whole thing would cost about $670, $700 at the most. Then, he wrote down my credit card number. On the day of the wedding (about 3 hours before the ceremony and about half an hour before the agreed upon pick up time for the flowers), the shop owner called me and said, he forgot to charge me for 2 things in the order. He forgot that there were 2 sets of parents and only made 1 set of leis. He also said that he could make another set by the pick up time with no problem. It's been a long, crazy day so I wasn't about to argue and risk my bridesmaids' bouquets and my parents' leis, so I just said "ok." Today, I looked at my credit card charges and I was charged $813.09. Here are the concerning things: 1. Why was it so difficult to get in touch with the shop owner, or anyone from the shop? Why did it take several days to get a call back, after I left voice messages? Related to this, are courtesy calls not a thing for this flower shop? Not even for an order for a big event? I would have thought they'd be better at this, since they were located in a well-known hotel, the Sheraton. 2. How did they "mistakenly" forget to make the 2nd set of parents' leis? I spoke with the shop owner in person twice, via phone multiple times, and emailed my order (twice). I left multiple voice messages. Related to this, why was the estimate $143.09 off? 3. Does it really only take half an hour to make a set of leis (1 maile lei and 1 orchid lei)? Just wondering. The bouquets and flowers turned out very pretty. But, it was such a hassle working with this shop. And, I really do feel ripped off and taken advantaged of. I should have asked for an itemized receipt, so I guess it's partly my fault, too. I should have insisted to pay at the time that I wanted to pay. I trusted the people at this shop, and things didn't turn out well for me. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP! I'm sure there are other shops out there with more professionalism!

Extremely unhappy.

I am so extremely disappointed with the lack of service by this company. I spent a considerable…read moreamount of time reviewing their floral offerings on their website before finally settling on one design. I specifically chose the design I did because of the floral content as well as the color scheme. I specifically chose one that did NOT have bold colors. I even spoke to the shop the day after I placed the order to confirm delivery time and no mention was made at all about needing to make any changes. This business apparently uses an iPhone for their business phone and employs text messaging. That's not a problem at all however it does demonstrate the ease at which communication regarding changes could have been. Instead they chose to use completely different and cheaper flowers in what they delivered vs what I ordered. I say cheaper because anyone who knows anything knows that mums are cheap and when it comes to Hawaii so are bird of paradise. They grow everywhere. I was told that "some of the flowers were out of season". Which ones? The noticeably missing ORCHIDS? I'm supposed to believe that orchids were "out of season" on a Hawaiian island where orchid leis abound? All I wanted was what I ordered. Nothing more, nothing less. It was intended to be for my sister who was getting married and it cost me $157!! If I wanted the flower type they gave me, I could have ordered a significantly LARGER arrangement for less money!! In the screenshots you can see the shop insisted they would go pick it back up and they would reach out to the bride. I felt this was disruptive but whatever. Well, they NEVER did that. This matters because of how they handled my dispute with PayPal. When I tried to follow up (as seen in the text conversation) they blocked me. I tried calling and it wouldn't even ring it was immediately sent to voicemail. That's what happens when you're blocked. I opened a dispute with PayPal since there was no further way for me to communicate. They first offered me $75 as a partial refund. Unacceptable. I'm not paying even $1 for something I didn't order. It takes time to move through the dispute process so approximately 2 weeks later they did offer a full refund. The catch? They wanted the item returned with a tracking number. What a scam. They knew full well that wasn't possible and would cause the case to be decided in their favor and they get to keep my money. What was I supposed to send them? A box of random dead flowers? Those flowers were long dead and in a Hawaiian landfill somewhere. They could have had their product back had they gone and picked it up like they said. They never even attempted to reach out to her. If I could give them zero stars I would. I'm not one to make negative reviews, I prefer to leave positive reviews because there are never enough of those, especially for small businesses. These people cheated me out of my money and I would never recommend them to anyone. Ever. I think they know how to work the system and have likely done this to people before. Shame on you for taking advantage of anyone in this economy where folks can barely afford groceries. Definitely no mahalo here.

Whether you're local or visiting Kona, Nana's Clay Flowers is a must, especially if you're looking…read morefor a unique, handmade gift for yourself or someone else. The artistry of these clay flowers is like nothing we've ever seen anywhere else. They look so real! From orchids to plumeria, hibiscus to bird of paradise (and more), you'll do a double take when you realize these flowers are in fact sculpted from clay! My husband and I walked in last Nov and met Tara who was in the process of preparing the clay to sculpt a new flower. We paused to watch and she kindly told us about her process and even gave me a small hibiscus she literally made in under 5 minutes! Mahalo again, Tara! I keep that perfect little mini flower on display at home along with a couple of other flowers we bought that day, and they always makes me smile :) Friends & fam who we gifted flowers to also loved theirs! Think about it, you'll never have to water the flowers, they'll stay vibrant and perfect forever, and you'll have a beautiful memento of Kona/Hawaii that's 100% better than anything you'd find in an ABC Store or other generic souvenir shop (and those items are usually not even made in Hawaii).

The clay they use are very flexible. Both Caleb and Aaron had great service and a great selection of flowers. Prices were reasonable for this amazing artwork.
