    Close up ceremony flowers being used for the sweetheart table.

    Sue is a true artist! She did our wedding and rehearsal dinner florals and I was blown away! At the beginning I gave Sue a general overview of what I wanted which was tropical florals and the colors I was going for, I sent her some looks that I liked but other than that I left the design to her and boy was I glad I did. When I saw what she did with our ceremony arch my jaw hit the floor. It was better than I ever imagined. Look no further for your event, she's such a gem and was truly pleasure to work with.

    Pretty tea leaf made by Sue, I loved how fragrant the flowers were.

    It's kinda crazy how much you spend on flowers for your wedding day, which only lasts a few hours at most, so when my hubby and I were searching for a florist to hire for our big day, we were all over the map on the endless options we had for the flowers we needed. We live in the mainland and planning our destination wedding via email was critical to stay organized with all the vendors we hired. It was difficult to get a hold of Sue after submitting an inquiry request on their website a month prior to our trip out there. When I made two attempts emailing and a voice mail with no luck, I decided to continue looking at other florists. We flew out to Hawaii six months prior to our wedding day to meet with all the vendors were were looking to hire and secure our date with. It wasn't until our hired wedding coordinator asked during our meeting who our florist was, that's when her connections came in very handy. I did express my disappointment in not hearing back from Su-V, but after she persuaded us to give Sue a try, she managed to get us an appointment with her within five minutes of texting Sue and the morning we were to fly back to San Diego. Side note, if you meet with her at her shop, you're better off parking at a meter right on Kapiolani instead of parking in the super tight, hard-to-maneuver-through parking garage. The storefront itself is not a shop, it's simply a place for her to store and prep her floral pieces (I guess I was expecting a shop like the ones I go to back home). Anyway, after meeting with two other florists prior to our meeting with Sue (and not telling her the rates we were quoted), she provided the lowest cost for the same amount of flowers. She came five hundred under one vendor and three thousand less than the other floral vendor we met with. Before we booked her, I expressed my concern for her lack of communicating back with her potential customers, so it did come as a surprise when she later had a new admin assistant replying to the on-line inquiries shortly after I shared my constructive feedback, lol. Sue's work speaks for itself. Become a Facebook fan of her business and you will see the beautiful pieces she makes to really impress you and your guests. I love Hello Kitty and loved how she was able to use the HK charms I bought for my bridesmaid bouquets and the bling Hello Kitty pendant my hubby bought for my own bouquet. One suggestion that she recommended was to reuse the flowers from our ceremony for the reception, this helped bring down the cost significantly where she recycled the flowers from the arch for our sweetheart table and the six floral pieces used for the rows of chairs we had during the ceremony were transferred as a table centerpiece. I didn't want the beauty of her work to go to waste at the end of the night and since ninety percent of our guests flew into Hawaii for our big day, I asked if she can help with coordinating the donation of our floral center pieces from our reception to a local senior living community. Sue happily agreed and returned later in the night after our reception ended to pick up all the pieces and drop them off that same night. I loved our wedding day and when I look back at all the pictures from that day, I can't help but thank Sue for making our vision of having the beautiful, tropical flowers into a reality with our dream wedding in lovely Hawaii. Mahalo, Su-V!

    Our wedding coordinator recommended them for our flowers - bouquets and center pieces. We set a budget for the center piece per table, as well as an overall flower budget, and they did a fantastic job! They were also flexible enough to work with us, as we found the vases we wanted at a discounted store. I didn't do any additional research for florists, so I'm not sure where they fall in the price range compared to other florists in the area. I had white orchids and Gerbera daisies in my bouquet, and that was $$ (but it could be that I was trying to be thrifty on something, and flowers can't be it?). If you don't care about keeping your bouquet, I would recommend not getting a tossing one. It was kinda spendy for a 5 minute photo op. Only thing I'm not sure about is if they do the actual decorating part. Our wedding coordinator was out there doing the flowers for the rows of chairs an hour before the wedding...

    Best vendor I had at my wedding hands down!! Sue is amazing. I had a very clear idea of what I wanted. She took that image and not only made it real, but went above and beyond what I had in my head. She was on time the day of the wedding, stayed later than anticipated to make sure the cake flowers were placed properly, and even saved the day (for me at least) by having those altoids on hand right before I walked down the aisle! Her flowers are stunning, she listened to what I wanted and gave me the lush romantic flowers I envisioned. Plus, she worked within my budget with no problem whatsoever. Her floral design is really and truly like nothing else. Pinterest worthy I would say :) I cannot say a bad thing about Sue or her team. She's the best I've encountered and I'm trying to think up of another reason or event to use her services again just so I can see what she can come up with!

    I will be honest, Sue and I are friends in the business. But she was also a vendor at my wedding. Sue is one of the most talented, sweetest, and did I mention talented florists on the island. I know a lot of the reviews discuss communication. A piece of advice - just give her a call. She truly DOES care about each of her clients' events. Because she is so talented, because she REALLY doesn't overcharge, and because she's so great, she does get very busy very quickly! She IS very busy, but if you're lucky enough to book her, your flowers will be beautiful. Don't worry even a little bit. By far, she goes above and beyond each and EVERY time. Because of the line of work I am, I know that many of you may have clear and distinct ideas of what you want in terms of flowers and decor. The best advice I can give you is to give Sue your ideas but at the same time give her the freedom to do what she does best - create art that fits you! Because keep in mind...sometimes those full and fluffy peonies that you wanted so bad...may look horrible when they come in. Fact of life in the islands. Allow Sue to substitute it with something that looks just as great and don't throw a hissy fit. She knows it'll look better than brown flowers in your bouquet. Anyway, thank you Sue and your amazing team!!!

    Although our wedding was more budget/DIY, we still wanted things to look nice. We paid about $2800 for everything, which includes flowers, delivery, and setup. (To give you an idea of the scale of our wedding - 150 guests, 6 ppl in wedding party.) It's pretty steep for a budget wedding but flowers were important to me and something I felt really elevates the look of a wedding and I think it definitely made a difference at our wedding as well. We did one face to face consultation with Sue to discuss what we were looking for. Subsequent communications were over phone and email. Sue was willing to work with us on our budget in order to get the cost down (we opted to cut costs on the centerpieces), and honestly, the centerpieces still looked beautiful, they weren't tiny and didn't look cheap at all. Sue and her team went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was beautiful. On the day of the wedding, they were very helpful and professional, everything went smoothly. Our rental company had set up the chairs with the rows too close together. Sue and her team worked to reorganize the ceremony layout to make sure things flowed nicely. Although she is very busy and therefore not as responsive as I would have liked, in the end everything still turned out as I wanted and she is really talented at making beautiful arrangements. The flowers were one of my favorite things at our wedding. Overall, I would definitely recommend Sue, she really cares about your satisfaction and in making sure your vision comes to life.

    We got married on 7/7/07, one of the busiest wedding days of the year. When we secured Su-V as our florist she advised us of many things. I could care less what her office looks like. She delivered. She advised my wife that peonies were an early spring flower and that July was a little late to get peonies. She offered multiple alternatives and said she would do whatever it took to make our wedding spectacular. Flash forward to our wedding day, the peonies were still in season. The church was decorated well by her team. They were professional, on time, friendly, and melted into the scenery. She worked with our budget. She was friendly. We don't know when we will get a chance to work with her again, but I definitely recommend her. Pictures uploaded soon. Thanks Su-V for making our special day remarkable.

My father brought a huge corporate account to Cindys, which they made A LOT of money from. He had a personal relationship with the owners, which kept us loyal for decades. After my father passed, the company cut tie with Cindy's. I was devastated and didn't understand why. Cindy's always gave us the best service. Recently I found out why relations were cut. Cindy's has really changed and no longer provides the great customer service they once did. I placed a very important order for an event on the mainland to be shipped out and arrive a day before the event. I placed the order over a month in advance and was promised it would be just fine and well taken care of. Well, when the week of the event came, I called every day, multiple times a day, just to confirm everything. They won't answer their phones. I sent emails and messages through their website. Those also went unanswered. I even went to the store in person before work at 6am, nut it wasn't open yet. I had no way of getting in touch with them and wondered if they had shut down. I had to go on the faith that they have always provided us stellar service in the past. I was so wrong. Cindy's completely forgot to send my order at all, and left me without anything, the day before the event. The amount of stress I went through trying to find a florist on the mainland to provide lei was insane. Cindy's finally answered my many messages the day before. They said they could try to overnight my order that they forgot, but there were no promises it would get there on time, since the event was on a Saturday. I still have not been sent a receipt from them, which I asked for multiple times, or confirmation of the mailing. The lei did go, and my credit card got a huge charge, but without the receipt, I don't even know what I paid them for. And really, after all they put us through, they should have comped the order. My dad would be rolling in his grave to know how far downhill the company that he loved to support has gone. As for me, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I do truly hope they can get it together and grow back into the great company they once were.
