Easley Designs

We had the pleasure of planning our daughters wedding floral designs with Easley Designs. From the our first contact with Easiley Designs and speaking with Mahina who is both friendly and accomodating with coordinating availabilty dates and our first meeting with Jill the owner.
Jill Easley made this first experience great by putting our daughter at ease and really listened to what our daughter wanted for her dream wedding, made a few suggestions and created a truly Floral Fantasy while staying within our budget!
On the wedding day we absolutely LOVED being able to leave everything to Alex and Clarice
Jill’s VERY competent staff to do their magic in making a real working barn at Sunset Ranch into something out of a fairy tale!
Needless to say, Jill Easley and her Professional staff did a fantastic job of creating our daughter’s Gorgeous Bridal bouquet, wedding party bouquets, boutonnieres, the groom’s Maile lei, leis for family and friends, center pieces, PLUS a couple of amazing unexpected surprises and all of the little touches that went waay beyond what we expected!
We definately recommend Jill Easley and her staff to anyone having a wedding or in need of a wedding coordinator that Easley Designs is THE Best! We absolutely Love them!!!
BIG Mahalo to you all at Easley Designs!

Easley design is a wonderful team of wedding/​flower proffessionals. And yet, they make you so comfortable and at home, you feel like family. I told Jill my theme and overall feel I wanted for my wedding, and she brought it to life. My bridal bouquet was over the top and floral center peices were amazing! Trust me, flowers can make or break you big day. You definitely want these pros on your team! Two thumbs up. Totally recommend!

Jill was absolutely awesome to organize and decorate our wedding in Turtle Bay! She made our wedding so special with beautiful flowers and additional decoration! Everyone loved it and had the best time ever! Also her assistants were always available, took some extra pictures and were super organized, sweet and helpful!
Big Mahalo to all of you for making our special day so much more special! Would recommend them to anyone getting married on this island!

I worked with this crew this weekend to help in filming a wedding for them with Evoke Media. They are organized and diligent and made everything run smoothly. Being in the wedding industry myself for over 11 years it’s important to have an excellent coordinator. Definitely a must if you are looking for perisonalble and professional service. Their flowers are AMAZING! I thought a lot of the stuff was fake but it was just so perfectly real! Love you all at Easley Designs.

Flowers are one of my most favorite things in life. That’s why I knew the floral expense for my wedding was going to be astronomical.
However, being engaged for a year and a half gives you time to do your research. Enter Easley Designs. I was brought to her office because of her flattering Unilocal reviews and gorgeous pictures.
I met with Jill at the consultation and we instantly clicked. She had helpful suggestions and beautiful ideas. I was worried that my vision wouldn’t come across, but Jill soon put those concerns to rest.
Jill is also a wedding planner and incredibly busy, but she reassured me that everything would go well and even promised me that she’d be there that day. She did not disappoint. I cannot put into words how beautiful everything came out. I will post my pics once I get them, but I guarantee they I’ll not do them justice. The best part was that her services were NOT astronomical, but very reasonably priced.
I love everything that Jill and her friendly, helpful staff did for my wedding and I will not hesitate to recommend her to other brides!

Above and beyond. Easley designs is an amazing company Jill’s work is untouched by any other florists that I had seen. This company is extraordinary and worth every single penny. We hired them for our wedding they were recommended to us by our wedding coordinator. After meeting them at the bridal show I wanted to interview them. From the first interview with Jill I knew they were the ones. Jill is truly an amazing florist and the core of Easley designs. Due to the weather our wedding timeline got thrown off course (even with a wedding coordinator) and they were able to handle everything so professionally.
Jill personally drove me to walk down the isle because we had orginally gotten blocked by guest parking in our spot. I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much. They were so polite, kind, accommodating, and professional. Our rainbow colored floral theme seemed so strange and I was worried that it would look so tacky but Jill was able to make it fun vibrant and bohemian without looking odd.

Easley Designs was a pleasure to work with and professional all around! We worked together for my wedding in Waimea Valley on the North Shore and although the owner could not come to the event since it is indeed wedding season, she promised me her team would represent the company well and boy did they ever!!! The team that came from Easley Designs came early and went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I had expected! Unpredictable occurrences can pop up on your wedding day but Easley Designs actually created a sense of peace and calmness because they were so prepared, puntcual and they all worked with big happy smiling faces! I’ve never written a Unilocal review but my husband and I were so pleased with their beautiful bouquets, colorful archways, perfect place settings and vibrant isle décor that I felt compelled to praise their hard work! I should note that Jill (the owner) listened to what I wanted and had not only answers but also options to my visions. My 5 bridesmaids were all different bold colors and Easley designs made 6 different (including mine) coordinated bouquets. They were insanely beautiful! To Jill and her team –AMEN– yall were amazing! Thank you for making my day THAT much more beautiful! XO

Thoughts from the groom… To appreciate this review, first you must understand how anal retentive, attentive to detail, and demanding I am. When I first met Jill, I explained to her that I could not accept anything less than perfection and that I was hands on. She accepted the challenge and exceeded my expectations. My wife and I had a strong vision and Jill helped bring that vision to life. During our meetings, she would listen to what we had to say and make any suggestions while still letting us know that it was OUR wedding. Despite all the requests we had, she still manage to help us stay within our budget. The first thing that came to my mind when I arrived at the ceremony/​reception site was, «Dang, she got it.» Not only was Jill our florist, she was also our «Day of Coordinator». She worked very well with our other vendors (i.e. Photographer, DJ, Wait staff, etc) to ensure a smooth transition from one program to the next. This alleviated a lot of stress for myself and my wife, which enabled us to sit back and enjoy our special day. Whether your event is big or small, Jill will surely ensure a first class look! Jill Easley is a «MUST HAVE»!!!

I recently got married at the Ko’olau Ballrooms. When I was looking into flowers I had no idea where to start. When I spoke with Abbie at the Ballrooms, she asked me if I had a day of coordinator. I told her I didn’t think I needed one. She told me that I HAD TO, NEEDED TO. She recommended Jill Easley at Easley Designs for flowers and as a day planner. I am so glad that I did that. I honestly thought it was going to be super expensive. However, in comparison to other places, she turned out to be inexpensive. She did the set up and break down for the ceremony, and set up and break down for the reception. When I went to meet with her, I had no idea what I wanted for the flowers. All I knew was that I wanted ocean/​nautical theme. When I saw everything at the ceremony and reception, I was beyond amazed. Everyone told me that my wedding looked like it came straight out of a fairytale. I was so happy with everything! She even took up an issue with the photographer. Apparently there was a problem and my bridesmaids and mom were having communications issues with the photographer. I didn’t even know that there was an issue occurring. She truly does make sure that the bride does not stress out! There are no words to describe how happy I was. I think I spent at least half of the reception just being amazed at the decorations. I definitely would recommend Easley Designs! The one regret I guess I would say, is that I wish I had her as my wedding planner for the whole thing. If she could turn my wedding into a fairytale with what I provided her, I can’t imagine what she would have done if she had planned everything!

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding for a couple that hired Easley Designs to do their floral arrangements. Easley Designs was extremely punctual, and in fact half an hour early of their scheduled arrival time! James greeted me and then visited the areas where the floral arrangements would be set-​up. Because it was a beautiful Hawaiian «summer» day, it was much too hot to put the flowers out. He actually sat in the car with the AC running to make sure the flowers stayed fresh!
I delivered the bouquets to the bridal party down the street and they were in awe of how beautiful the arrangements were! The bride had also ordered a toss bouquet and was so surprised at how substantial the arrangement was.
James and the other coordinator placed the arrangements and continued to spray them with water to ensure there was no wilting during the wait. They also planned the scattering of flower petals perfectly right before the start of the ceremony.
After the ceremony they relocated all the arrangements to the reception. As a wedding coordinator that is one of the most helpful things since we are running around ensuring everything else is ready for the reception.
Overall the service from Easley Designs was amazing, the arrangements were beautiful, and I would recommend Easley Designs for a full-​service floral arrangement experience!

I have contacted Jill for our wedding, because we were looking at the Trump Towers as a prospective venue. I have contacted her 3 MONTHS ago, and she has not answered back my email. I saw her about 2 weeks later on the KHON morning news. I was also told by the event manager Edlyn at Trump, that Jill was coordinating an event. I understand especially in her profession, she has a busy life. So, I waited. I sent her another email. No word. I was a little perturbed, so I notified Edlyn, who said that she meets with Jill on Mondays, and would let her know to contact me back. I still never heard word from Jill. I have decided to give it up, and go with the wedding coordinator my co-​worker recommended. Honestly, Jill, if you are reading this, know that you have lost potential customers. I have also notified Edlyn at Trump (because she sent me an email asking if we are going with Trump as our venue) how unhappy I am with Jill’s service. Even if you are busy, that does not give you the excuse to shirk customers. If you are not able to take on the wedding, have professional decency and let the person know that you are unable to, so they are not WAITING to hear back from you, and in the meantime, they can make other arrangements. If it is something as important as a wedding, people put their time into it. Jill has proven to me that this is all business to her, and that she does not care one bit about her customers. I will let everyone I know also NOT to go with Jill.

My husband and I live in California and were planning on renewing our vows in Hawaii. With that being said, I looked around for hotels that did the whole package. Luck for us, we found the Trump who works with Jill. I hired Jill has my wedding coordinator, which made the process a thousand times easier. In the beginning we just went over everything I wanted and what I wanted it all to look like. I was able to make a board on my Pinterest account with my vision and she was able to see what I was looking for. She hired all my vendors and got everything ready. All I had to do was show up. Haha! Everything looked exactly the way I wanted it to. Not to mention the day went smoothly because everything had been planned. I didn’t have to stress or worry about a thing and we had a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you Jill for everything! Truly made our big day special and a great memory for us and our family!

Honestly, If I could give no stars, I would. Everything started out nice with Jill. I was very specific regarding what I wanted. I even showed her pictures. Everything went downhill the moment I saw my bouquet the day of my wedding. I told her that I wanted mostly pink flowers as my dress was blush, but instead she decided on her own to use more white flowers. When I asked her about this, she said she thought it would look better with more white flowers. I really wish she would’ve at least told me about this before she actually did it… I would’ve told her no. She ended up having to take flowers out of the other bouquets to do this. I guess it looked a little better. I thought things were looking up, then I saw my arch. I told her I wanted my arch to be like the arch in the Twilight movie when Bella and Edward got married. My arch looked nothing like this. It looked extremely sparse, and anyone who has seen the movie knows the arch is very full. I was extremely unhappy with this. When I asked her about this, she didn’t have much to say. If she couldn’t recreate it for the amount she was charging me, she should’ve been more specific. I had no problem paying more to get what I desired.
Not only did we hire her to do our flowers, but she was also the «wedding coordinator» for the Trump where we got married. It was time to print my invitations, and I called to confirm the start time of my ceremony. Come to find out, she had no idea what she was doing because I ended up finding out AFTER I sent out my invitations that the ceremony time needed to change. I was livid. She even flat out denied that she told me the start time was okay. I don’t know about you, but I do not like people who lie. Luckily, the food and beverage manager offered to serve complimentary champagne while the guests waited half an hour, but it was still embarrassing.
I’ve also heard similar things about her not doing what she’s told. To all your brides out there, please think twice before booking her.

I was married two weeks ago at Turtle Bay and several of the staff members (who see wedding every week) told me that my bouquet was the prettiest they had ever seen. Jill knows her stuff — trust her as I did with my bouquet. My mother was more particular with her requests for certain types and colors of flowers that were not in bloom or flourishing because of weather. Jill encouraged her to be flexible — she was not (love my mom but she can be stubborn). Anyway, everything that I trusted Jill with turned out beautiful.
The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because it was difficult setting up times to speak with her in the beginning. I’m not used to having to set up appointment sometimes days or weeks out for simple questions. Although her staff does everything they can to help and were awesome.

I am not a person that does reviews, but I feel that this review is absolutely necessary.
I got married on 12−13−14, as the first same sex couple to be married on the grounds of ‘Iolani Palace, Honolulu, HI. Very sacred grounds, just a few hundred feet from the State Capital, where people arguing this matter of same sex marriage to become legal in Hawaii.
I was recommended to Jill with very high recommendations from multiple people. I had been hunting high and low for months looking for someone who could take the vision I had and making it come to life.
Multiple visits, hundreds of emails and texts… I am VERY particular with what i wanted… Jill had all the patience, professionalism, compassion and care to work with my wife and I for almost a year.
As our day of coordinator, she called and texted each of us throughout the day, keeping to the timeline, making everything flow like clockwork. There was no stress or worry. Everything we asked for.
Pure elegance was my goal and Jill (and her staff) produced it.
I wanted Red roses everywhere, chandeliers and wine bottles with red roses hanging from the tent, wine bottles with a Rose attached to every chair, no three tables near each other could match, lanterns, votives, illuminating lights and oh yeah, could you have red uplighting on the walls/​arch of the historical Barracks building?!
This day was grand, elegant and has made history. Easley Designs presented us and the sacred grounds of the Palace with pure class.
Mahalo. Words does not give the quality of work she provides justice.

I have the pleasure of working with Jill often. Me as a photographer, Jill as the event designer and coordinator.
Jill is a talented designer and she can turn your vision of your day into reality. I have seen many designs that Jill has put together and they run the gambit of tropical to rustic to modern designs. No two weddings look the same! And photographing her work is always a pleasure.
As a coordinator, I know that they day will run smoothly as she in constant communication with all her vendors and will answer questions or concerns that I may have in a timely manner. We go into each wedding as a team. We all work together to bring our couples the best experience possible.
If you’re thinking of having a wedding coordinator, Jill is a the perfect addition to having her design your wedding as well!

If you want to have a fabulous Hawaii wedding… call Jill Easley!!!
I called Jill to plan my wedding with just months to plan and she took on the project without blinking an eye. All I can say is perfection. I explained my vision and Jill delivered. She just «got it» from the first moment we talked. Her ideas were great and her execution was above and beyond.
Jill and her team are amazing… and tons of fun. :)

Where do you start planning your wedding? I’d start in Jill Easley Allen’s office!
Jill is the 2^nd generation of her family’s wedding business and knows Hawaii’s vendors and venues incredibly well. If you are a bride-​to-​be, you really owe it to yourself to make life a little easier and meet with her first during a complimentary consultation! Whether you use her or not, she is genuinely nice, loves what she does, and can give you more clarity by pointing you in the right direction based on your wedding size and budget!
Jill has an absolutely massive array of wedding floral (hardware) vases, votives, lamps, pillars, lights, and crystals to make your 5-​star vision into a clear luxurious 10-​star reality! Indirectly, your borrow her vases, and pay for the service and flowers. Your guests can still take the flowers from the centerpieces home, just not the vases they come in. The flowers are cleverly designed to pop out of these vases and double as a bouquet. Beautiful, practical, and clever!
Working with Jill Easley Allen was easy! She communicates efficiently via text or voice mail and always called me back right away. In fact, when I worked with her, she had 2 cell phones on hand in case one ran out of batteries. Her office is conveniently located in Nuuanu so it was easy to drop off wedding items at her office when needed. She was very clear in the cost and laid everything out so that I knew what to expect, how to pay, and when. She provided me with a lot of in depth thinking in clearing up my wedding schedule and gave me a ton of options for a Plan B and C!
The day of my wedding came, and as usual, Jill came through beyond her duties of a florist! Deciding just hours prior to our ceremony, to cover the Magic Island park bench at the site, Jill showed up early and did a fabulous job covering the unsightly bench and also a lonely palm tree that would be in several photo shots! My ceremony décor also doubled as my table centerpieces at the restaurant making transportation and portability incredibly easy!
I loved my wedding bouquet to death — it was really hard for me to give it away! I still dream of how beautiful it was and owe it to Jill for having the passion, talent, and vision to understand what I need on my wedding day to make my wedding experience perfect and special!
The better she gets to know you and what you want, the more perfect your flowers will be… she’s a talented flower psychic!!!

Unfortunately I have to be honest in my review. I used Easley designs for my wedding in August 2012. I met with both Terri and Jill several times and tried to be specific with what I wanted, even bringing pictures. I don’t know if they didn’t communicate well with each other or they were just disorganized (went through different staff members and a friend that worked with them mentioned disorganization), but my flowers were not what I wanted. It was very disappointing especially considering I didn’t have that many requests (no orchids or lilies). They were supposed to wrap my bridal bouquet in lace (didn’t happen) and there were lilies in my bouquet. I spent a lot of money for my florals and was not happy… the only regret in my wedding.
On a good note both Easley ladies were. nice in our meetings and they did include a service of picking up lei for the wedding at Lins lei shop if you ordered with them.

Jill and her team are excellent. Jill’s energy is infectious, and her staff is really, really nice. Jill has great ideas, and will work with your budget. My phone calls and emails were always promptly returned, and they are detail-​oriented, which was a huge plus for the mini Bridezilla in me.
I did not shop around for a wedding florist, I solely chose Terrie Easley from experience and recommendations. I first heard about Terrie Easley when I played (amateur) wedding coordinator for a friend two years ago. On that stress filled day, I was so impressed with the Terrie Easley staff; they were friendly, efficient, and really nice. Terrie Easley was also recommended to me by a very good friend and a co-​worker. My very good friend was fanatic about her wedding, and did a ton of research. I did not price shop because she said Terrie Easley was the best deal (and because she was that much of a nerd researching her own wedding, which had very beautiful flowers btw). Lastly, my co-​worker recommended Jill, not knowing that I already knew about Jill and her team… This kinda cinched the deal for me.
