Flowers For A Friend

I needed to send some flowers to Kapiolani Hospital. A friend recommended that we use ‘Flowers for a Friend’ on King Street. The flowers were beautiful and I was able to do everything over the phone.

Having not lived in Hawaii for a number of year, so many of the florists I used to go to for red ginger to take to the graveyard, either were no longer around, did not have any, or were somewhat costly. Just as we were giving up on finding what we wanted, we noticed this business which did have a good selection of red ginger, at very reasonable prices. Additionally, the woman was very helpful in the selection process (including cutting and including the stems with the flowers so the stems could be used in the vase to strengthen the arrangement). She also mentioned that they had parking in the back. Parking, good service, reasonable prices and lovely flowers.

the lady here is so kind. i always go here on my way to the grave.

Came here for the first time to get a haku lei for my birthday. My fiancé called late in the afternoon to see if it was possible to order one and if it was, how long it would take. The woman said they could do it within a couple of hours and to come and pick it up before they closed for the day.
I went in right before closing and sure enough, a beautiful haku lei was ready for pick up. It was only about $ 30 — very well worth the price. I had so many compliments when I wore it :) it also lasted a very, very long time in the refrigerator… I’d say over a week, properly stored.
The staff are very nice as well. I had to call for directions when I was close and asked where to park and they were happy to assist and even waited outside while we were on the phone to make sure she could see me waving her arms and going into the right direction.
They had an array of other various flowers and leis as well… perfect for any occasion from surprise bouquets to funeral arrangements.
I would definitely be back if I am ever in need of flowers.

I called Terri on a Friday evening (from CA) to request a pikake rope lei to be made and delivered the next day to a restaurant for my BFF’s Birthday. Terri was professional, polite and extremely accommodating! The lei was LOVELY and my friend was sooo happy! Terri really came through for me when I was in a bind and took care of my last minute request. She is WONDERFUL and I would HIGHLY recommend her services! Truly a HUGE help!!! I also appreciated that she didn’t ream me for the costs even though it was last minute… totally reasonable and well worth the level of service and dedication she put into helping me out! Mahalo Nui Terri!!! You really made my BFF’s Birthday celebration much more memorable with your beautiful pikake lei!

I called six other florists in the area to ask if they would be able to do a last minute delivery to a nearby restaurant for my anniversary. This place was friendly and willing to do it. I was very pleased at how low cost it was for what I ordered also. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone! Thank you!

My loyalty will always be with auntie Terri. I haven’t met her until 2015, but her work has always been with me since 2005 — from my two high school proms all the way to my wedding. My bouquets and my husbands Maile leis were always made by her! I finally decided to meet her after all these years to order my daughters first birthday leis.
First off, she’s amazing at helping pick out leis! She has different kinds of leis and will make what you want upon request! She has many different colors of carnations as well!
Her Maile leis are $ 35. But what makes it worth it is that it doesn’t fall apart. She gets her Maile from the big island. I remember when I use to get my dates Maile leis from Chinatown for banquets, and it’d fall apart during the function! From 2013 – 2015, we ordered three Maile leis from auntie Terri for different occasions, and they are still intact hanging in our doorway.
I recently visited the shop to order a bunch of leis for graduation. 6 leis for $ 35. Not bad at all! Considering during graduation season, lei prices jump up $ 2 – 5 more! Even off her shelf she had a variety of leis to choose from. She also adds ribbon, and has the list of colors of the high schools to know what kind of ribbon to add.
If you want good quality flowers or leis for decent prices, count on auntie terri!

I always buy flowers here when I visit the Japanese graveyard in the back. Friendly and helpful service. The prices are reasonable and it’s never crowded. I’m in and out!

Simply the best florist on the island. Prices are lower than the competition, variety is better, best selection and prices for leis. I reside in Kahala, and used to drive to Chinatown for the leis, and now I have an excellent selection of leis here, only a short distance away! Great selection of roses, and
wide variety of flowers.

We just came in from CA and wanted to get something special. Found this place from Unilocal the night before UH Graduation and Teri was accommodating to creating a special 3 flower Haku for my daughter.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I came here on Thanksgiving day to literally buy Flowers For A Friend!
Koreans don’t celebrate Thanksgiving so my Mom and Dad are out working and I’m home alone. I told myself that I would be fine all alone. BUT IM NOT! I’m so bored and kind of sad that I have no one to spend this great holiday with! Then one of my best friends invited me over to their house for a Thanksgiving feast! I knew that I couldn’t go empty handed and I can’t cook to save my own life so I decided to bring some flowers to show my appreciation for their hospitality! I went on Unilocal and found the closest Flower shop to me and decided to go to here.
I bought to different types of flowers. Both were $ 6 each and I think I did a pretty good job at selecting them for a Thanksgiving-​y theme dinner. I actually thought their selection of the flowers were somewhat small, but I am glad that I found some that I really liked for a great price.

I used to order my maile leis here for proms and I’ve remained a loyal customer every since. Everyone here is really friendly and their prices are great. They have a nice selection and will work within a budget if needed.
Parking is easy and unlike other florists, I don’t feel scammed here.

Wonderful hidden gem of a flower shop! When not going to a lei shop in Chinatown, I used to frequent Le Flowers further down on King St (now next to the Kinkos and the new Kuni Fabric Store… and by new I mean like 10 yrs ago haha), but have noted their prices go up slowly over the last few years. So I then went to Jr’s next to the gas station near Sushi King, but the arrangements there are pretty expensive (although very nice). So now I go here (can’t compare to University flowers since I haven’t been there since they moved).
I love the owner, she is always friendly and accommodating. I recently needed a last minute arrangement. She was very kind and gave me a pre-​made one for only $ 20, that would have cost $ 35 across the street. One of the stargazer lilies looked a little sad, so I replaced it for an additional $ 2. What a good price! I’ve also gotten well priced leis here in the past. The ginger is always nice and fresh. Don’t get me wrong, Le Flowers makes wonderful leis, but this place has more competitive prices.
I highly recommend going here!

I so agree with Dixie R. and Marko M. — Terri is awesome !!!
There are several great flower shops BUT Terri really goes the extra mile !!
I was asked by my son’s school ROTC program to help get the best price for 26 lei’s in less then a week … May Day, Administrative Day, and Mother’s day all in the same few weeks !!! so I start making calls all around town and Terri was the lifesaver … she gave a wonderful military discount for the school and was very helpful with ideas and so generous with her time !!!
Mahalo Terri !!

BEST flower shop in town. Very accommodating even with very little notice and SUPER afforadable. Trust me, I’ve shopped around! I used to go to Watanabe Florals and after dealing with them for my clients and hearing their excuses and dealing with their sales reps back and forth I got tired and decided to give Flowers For a Friend a try. «Can you do a romantic flower arrangement for $ 70 inclusive??» «Yes what time» «6pm tonight?» «SURE.» Now that’s the kind of people I like dealing with plus the lady Cherry (I think) the owner is a sweetheart. The flower arrangements blow me away everytime and my clients are ALWAYS very happy.

This is a cutle little flower shop located in McCully (on S. King Street). It’s run by a cute lilttle Asian lady who is so humble and friendly!
I found this place by accident when I needed a lei for a friend and forgot to buy one. I think I ended up coming here at 10:00 p.m. on a school night and they were still open. The shop owner greeted me with such a cute smile, offered several options for leis, and was really sweet.
I noticed that she was preparing some tuberrose flowers to make a lei later that night. She had been plucking off the old petals, and I stopped to smell them. The shop owner then gave me the extra tuberrose flower petals and put it in a plastic bag — all for FREE.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope you are in business for a long time! You’ve made my day! Thank you!

Good cheap flowers, and the only place you can buy «Lucky Money Tree»
