Fauve H.

I am so grateful for the mother-daughter duo behind Simply Elegant Hawaii. We worked together to make my vision for my wedding come to life. I had three months to plan and the process was easy, efficient and stress-free. We met about 8 weeks before the event to review my vision and what services I needed for my wedding. I was in need of all florals, chargers and tables decorating. I was able to provide inspiration photos for my gold/green with white accents tropical wedding which took place at Turtle Bay's Kuilima Point 6/25/17. I purchased all of the decorations myself and only needed a few items that Kristin and Violet were able to procure. They were timely in providing me with an itemized quote for the flowers, chargers, vases, chiffon sashes, and labor expenses. Over the next few weeks, I was able to deliver the decorations I purchased and 1-2 weeks prior to the event Violet and I met to review flower options, as there were a few weather related supply hiccups. We were able to easily work together to smooth all worries away. The day of the event, Kristin and Violet arrived and went to work. The bouquets and hairpiece were flawless! Hand held artwork! They also delivered Maile leis for the fathers and groomsmen and leis for the mothers. The ceremony and reception site were perfect. Exactly what I had envisioned down to the last detail. My "Simply Elegant" tropical Hawaii wedding was stunning. The archway and aisle were decorated beautifully and the centerpieces and welcome tables lovely. Our bride and groom chairs were darling. I heard nothing but complements on their design work and style. My extreme gratitude to the ladies of Simply Elegant Hawaii. Working with them was exactly as you would expect from a hardworking, dedicated, and very talented team. I have no reservations in recommending them highly for your next event!

We utilized Simply Elegant's floral, decor, and photo booth services for our August wedding at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch and were very pleased with both the process and the end result. As I currently live on the mainland, all of our wedding planning (other than Venue and food), including all interactions with Simply Elegant, was done remotely. From the first outreach, Kristin was responsive, professional, and extremely easy to work with. I had been struggling to find a vendor who could execute our florals/decor in the simple, minimalist way I was envisioning as I didn't want fussy centerpieces detracting from the natural outdoor beauty of Kualoa. Unlike other vendors who were more interested in pushing larger/more expensive products, Kristin truly understood that simplicity was a priority for me and embraced supporting my vision. I sent her a handful of ideas from Pinterest that I had been gathering, and she was able to help me brainstorm and translate my scattered ideas into specificitems. As a result of Kristin's consultations, we landed on centerpieces consisting of a pineapple on a monstera leaf accompanied by yellow/orange roses and votive candles, chuppah decorations consisting of roses and ruscus, and cocktail table decorations consisting of a floating rose in a stemless wineglass. We were able to repurpose the pineapples as both aisle decorations and table centerpieces, and the chuppah flowers as decorations for our sweetheart and cake tables. Kristin has a strong graphics background and designed her table numbers and photobooth print layout to coordinate with our other materials that had already been printed (menu, favor thank you notes, seating cards, etc.). I gave her full creative control of her pieces and only sent her pictures of our existing materials as an FYI so she could see the full vision of what else we had going on re: decor - I completely did not expect that she would design her pieces to MATCH PERFECTLY!!! We heard lots of positive feedback about the photo booth, which thankfully is not an actual enclosed "booth" but rather, an open air space in front of a backdrop that is much more conducive to larger groups. Guests immediately received two prints of their photos, and photos were also promptly made available online and accessible to all our guests via Facebook. Simply Elegant has an extremely easy to use billing system - everything is itemized clearly in an online quote,and they accept credit card (!), which is a huge bonus, particularly when planning a wedding remotely. We went back and forth a few times with some changes I made to the florals and to the timing of the photobooth, and Kristin was very quick and accommodating in updating the digital quote accordingly. Simply Elegant's pricing was reasonable, fair, and most importantly, transparent, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Simply Elegant - they were undoubtedly one of the easier vendors to work with (and as anyone planning a wedding/event knows, there are many!) and the quality, value and flexibility they provide is truly unmatched. Thanks again for helping make our wedding day special!

I chose Simply Elegant Hawaii as my florist for my destination wedding in Laie. Kristin was the MOST helpful vendor, responding quickly to all phone calls, emails and text messages. It was such a pleasure working worth her throughout the whole process. She was so receptive to any and all ideas I had as well and kept within our budget. I can not thank Kristin and her team enough for making my floral dreams come true for our big day!

A very late review, but looking back at my event, I could not help but be reminded by how amazing my vendors were! Simply Elegant was so easy to work with & executed all that I had requested/envisioned. Communication was key & so prompt! I really had nothing to complain about. I will definitely work with them for future events!

I am so grateful to have come across and work with Kristin. I'm from California and all of the planning was basically through email. She listened to everything I wanted and requested. At first she informed that peonies weren't available because of the season but low and behold she came through and the day of the wedding I was surprised with peonies in my bouquet. I was so happy and loved it! She was very friendly and patient. She made everything less stressful for me. Originally I hired her to decorate my reception only and 2 weeks before the wedding the person who was suppose to decorate the ceremony backed out and Kristin came to the rescue with that short amount of notice. She is super awesome!! Her work is exceptional and everything turned out exactly how I pictured it would be. My wedding was beautiful and it was all because of her work. She had no problem incorporating some materials and items I wanted to provide and use. She also has photo booth services which we also took advantage of which made everything so convenient. You get to pick ur backdrop and design and color of the printouts. I would highly recommend simply elegant for any of your events. You will not be disappointed.

"The rose is a rose, and was always a rose…read more But the theory now goes, That the apple's a rose, And the pear is, and so's the plum I suppose. The dear only knows, What will next prove a rose. You of course are a rose, But were always a rose." Robert Frost (1874-1963) I forgot just how good Watanabe Floral is.... Been a few years and many miles but they're still the number one florist on Oahu for me. It's staggering the amount of flowers, leis, haku, etc are offered here. Needed some fresh flowers for someone's birthday and I didn't want to play "roses roulette" with the typical less-than-stellar selection at the...ah... neighborhood grocery stores' inventory which is very convenient, but comes at the expense of quality. Ms Emma at Watanabe was absolutely brilliant, kind, patient and helpful with my questions. She engineered a most lovely arrangement complete with 2-dozen South American long stems, baby's breath, and St John's Wort flowers! Not only did they look amazing the day of the event but a week later they were still intact and blossoming slowly. Most other florists the petals start to fall on day 2 or 3. Will be back. Highly recommended. Mahalo nui for reading.

Watanabe Floral is Hawaii's largest full service floral shop since 1946, and my favorite shop. I try to visit here at least once a week to pick up roses/florals for my 2 vases, this help me think of a special person in my life who Loves floral. This place is such a happy vibe place/feeling, once you enter you will know what I mean. I just love the decor, so colorful, cheerful, so happy! I remember the very first time when I brought my mom here, I could see her happy face, I had to snap a photo of her at front of store. My recent visit I picked 10 colorful roses for my vase and also had to pick up a Birthday gift. Loved looking at all the orchids, picking one was hard. Watanabe has everything here, not only floral needs, you can just do your one stop gift shopping her. Like a local Hallmark with all the trinkets, gifts, snacks, jewelry, some very unique items that I never seen before. I came across the handmade crochet items and couldn't pass up on the bird and flower key chain, had to get them. They have very great vendors they purchase from, that's a great for supporting local! All in all, I just love shopping here! Don't forget - Mon-Sat. 9-4 & closed on Sundays! May your life be as beautiful as the flowers you give, spread happiness and joy with flowers!!

I heard about Spinning WEB through bridal expo and decided to email just to have options. I had never heard of them so I didn't know what to expect. But Whitney was so amazing from the very beginning. We set up a phone interview to talk, and I emailed her photos of flowers that I liked. She helped me go through different options and worked within my budget to help me get everything I wanted. She even set up a sample of a centerpiece, per my mom's request. It's so hard to know how everything will turn out when you're not the one doing it. I was just hoping things would turn out ok. However, on the day of the wedding, I was so blown away by all the beautiful arrangements!! Our arch pieces were gorgeous and the centerpieces even prettier than the sample. I was so happy with the way everything turned out. Whitney was so easy to work with also. She was so lovely and kind. She was always prompt to answer my emails and made adjustments whenever I made a change to what I wanted. They helped to really work with me to give me everything I could have hoped for and more. If you are looking for a florist, and not sure where to go, I would highly suggest Spinning WEB. I'm so lucky to have stumbled upon them and so happy that I got to work with them!! Thank you so much for all the beautiful flowers!!

I highly recommend theagencycollectivehi for their professionalism, patience, and generosity. Let's not forget their amazing connections to wedding industry essentials! Liz coordinated with and connected out of state family and friends with beautiful accommodations in Waikiki at a special rate (anyone planning a wedding can probably compare this process to herding cats). We were struggling to find a DJ prior to her help and Within 10 minutes of our first conversation, she found us a DJ at the budget we set. DJ Philly Willie was a huge hit and my friends still can't stop talking about him! My MOM boogied the WHOLE night haha! Now let me touch upon the generosity and kindness from Liz and theagencycollectivehi. They were lifesavers. I'll spare the heavy details, but I was very unfortunately scammed (bank scam)‍ out of $13k a couple months before the wedding and didn't have the money to hire help. Liz reached out to Hawaii News Now, for my info, after seeing my current husband and I in an interview warning about the scamming empire. She offered her help in any way we needed and I cried. After being scammed. It's difficult to trust others motives. However, Liz won me over. I cannot thank her enough and once again believe beautiful people exist. This group is amazing and kind and genuine and I think that alone, deserves giving them a chance to make your day special. Cheers
