Florist Grand

After sending out a RFP, we chose Evan and team for our wedding. My budget was limited and Evan worked with us to get what we needed.
Thinking about it now, I am impressed how drama free the whole thing turned out. I am on East Coast and worked with Evan entirely through email. Once everything was decided, the plan was executed without my any involvement. Everything was setup beautifully on time, just like the pictures. The bouquet arrived at the exact time that was promised. They must have worked with the venue extremely well because I did not do anything.
Now, the flowers themselves were incredible. My mom talks about them to this day, the most beautiful she’s seen. She tried to bring everything back to the hotel after the wedding :)
Sure, wedding stuff is never cheap, but I feel like I got a great experience and there’s no doubt these folks are on top of their game. No stress, no mess, they got it done.

All the guests love love love our floral arrangements. They are incredibly responsive, and on top of everything. The trust was established from the very beginning even via email. They are also flexible in making last minute changes. Can’t say enough thank you to Evan and Jasmine!

The flowers at my wedding took my breath away. I was not very particular about flowers during the planning; I just wanted orange and white to be the colors + budget constraints, and I left it up to Florist Grand to design the arrangements. They went beyond my expectations! The flowers were so fresh and gorgeous that I couldn’t stop saying how beautiful they were. Many guests complimented. The staffs were also very easy and pleasant to work with (fast communication with Jasmine), even we were planning our HI wedding from Chicago. A trustworthy vendor.

Only glowing things to say about this amazing florist!
My mom worked closely with Evan, but I met primarily with Jasmine and Joseph. They were great at listening to my specific requests and VERY patient as my mom and I went back and forth with our opinions during the meeting.
My flowers were absolutely stunning. I loved the boutonnieres they created for our groomsmen, and I am still so over the moon about my bouquet.
Even more than the flowers, what a bride appreciates are vendors who are happy and extremely communicative on the days leading up the wedding! Jasmine was so responsive via email and extremely enthusiastic and helpful through the entire process.
Loved working with Florist Grand and their amazingly professional team.

We were very specific on what we wanted for our wedding party’s floral arrangements and I have to say they came out absolutely perfect and looked very GRAND! Evan and Jasmine were caring and patient in listening to what we envisioned for our arrangements and were also respectful in working within our budget. I am very picky and have an expensive taste so I was surprised that our arrangements came out so perfect! The florals were also very fresh and of high quality. Evan and Jasmine are very easy to work with. For all these reasons, I highly recommend them and will use them for future events.

Evan Morita is truly an artist.
We hired him at the suggestion of the Kahala Resort (it’s the only floral company they work with). Working with him and his assistant Jasmine was not only pleasant but really easy as well. He sincerely took the time to talk to us and hear what we wanted. He was also patient as we figured out exactly what it was we were looking for and changed our minds as we did so. What he delivered blew us away!

Evan was very responsive and patient the entire time we corresponded via email. I did not have much of a budget for flowers nor did I want to spend thousands on arrangements. Evan sent picture samples and helped me with deciding on hanging arrangements for our gazebo. I was very happy with results. Sure, he is expensive but he has lots of options and will work with you.

Florist Grand was recommended to us by the Kahala where we held our wedding. From the first we were so impressed by his artistry in the various books that we viewed of his work. We met with Evan and talked over our color themes and by going through the books of his previous work he gleaned what we really liked and didn’t like. From there he put together amazingly beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding. He is definitely on the expensive side but everything was just so gorgeous and exactly what I had envisioned. He was very friendly, professional and I just couldn’t and wouldn’t have asked for anything different in what he did both for the wedding aisle arrangements, the reception centerpieces and the cake decorations. The flowers have also been lasting magnificently. We were able to re-​use the centerpieces for a brunch the following morning and two days later one of the centerpieces is in our living room and my bouquet is in a vase looking as gorgeous as ever. Highly recommend.

We were captivated by Evan Morita’s work even before we consulted him for our wedding flowers. In person, he was such a pleasure to work with — extremely gifted, patient, and knowledegable. He was able to take the overall color scheme of our wedding, a basic direction in terms of style and size, and create arrangements that became focal points at our wedding. His bouquets, bouttonieres, and centerpieces really «made» the reception décor, and made for beautiful photographs. We received several compliments on Evan’s work, and many guests were asking us who did our flowers. We’ll always be very grateful for Evan for making our day beautiful with flowers.

Florist Grand is Evan Morita. Came to Honolulu from SF. He is partnered with all of the top hotels on the island, does many of their hotel displays and special events.
Rumor has it that he orders his flowers direct, so actually goes to the airport to receive them. (Others go through distributors). Implies he has the freshest, longest lasting arrangements.
Event flowers can run ~$ 250 per centerpiece, which is the high side of top standard.
His trademark is cosmopolitan, avant garde designs and several event coordinators describe his work as less traditional and «edgy».
Very prompt responses, very professional conduct. Friendly, engaged, and diligent with clear dedication to service and craft.
