Passion Roots

I am so incredibly glad I booked passion roots to do my wedding flowers. The style of my wedding was tropical clean boho with mostly white and cream flowers and lots of greenery, including monstera leaves.. it was important to me that my flowers looked classy and chic, not TOURISTY, which was my fear if I booked the wrong florist.If you look at their Instagram, all their work is absolutely GORGEOUS. Because of this, I completely trusted them with their decisions should some of my florals not be available for my wedding, and I knew they would get my vision after meeting with them and sending them inspiration photos. They are easy to contact and quick to respond! When I wanted to add or change anything I of course felt bad but I was always treated with the utmost kindness and support. I adored my wedding flowers SO much and received so many compliments from guests and those who just saw pictures. The only con About my experience was that some things are just RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. Yes, they are of the more pricier florists but flowers were important to me and it was 100% worth it because everything was beautiful. But 15.00-20.00 for a boutanierre (all greenery) when my ti leaf lei from a local florist WITH orchids was only 5.00 was pricy on my end.. or even to add 15.00 for long ribbons on my bouquet. I'm not the type to argue, but still I was kind of shocked at how much the quoted certain things/add ons.Another con is that they don't do Saturday weddings so I had to pay a 10-15% outsourcing fee. It has to do with the owner's religion, but I don't understand why other employees can't setup their flowers to avoid this fee? 15% when you're paying a couple thousand for flowers really is a lot. And Most weddings are on Saturday so I feel like that's just part of it when you're in the wedding business, with all due respect to religion. Anyhow, I was still super happy and it was worth every penny but very very expensive!

Passion Roots created the florals for our wedding ceremony & reception. They were great to work with, in that, they really listened to what we wanted (vision and ideas). Shilhi is super creative & really talented at what she does. I was able to speak with her and show her some photos of what I like and envisioned, and she was able to pull together a "floral board" after our first discussion. As I continued to plan out our wedding & pull together the elements, I was able to make a last minute switch. Instead of doing all round tables, I had rectangle tables set up for my VIP/family tables. I switched from a traditional centerpiece to the long garlands that spread across. The additional costs for that really increased the cost of what we were going to spend in florals. We had a budget that I wanted to stick to, but given the change, we surpassed it! I know that Shilhi tried her best to accommodate us and tried to give us what we want. Since the price had gone up so much, I had to remove the leis from our order. I just had Shilhi provide the florals for the ceremony & reception, including the most important floral elements for the bride, Maid of Honor, and the Groom. For our reception centerpieces, we had gold spray painted pineapples. Instead of getting all of my florals from Passion Roots, I had to remove them so I didn't have to purchase and spray paint the gold pineapples myself. Given that we were having a destination wedding, I didn't think that was an option for us so I had to make some adjustments to accommodate for the uptick in price. Luckily, Shilhi made some adjustments & suggestions on how she can still create the look that we were going for. She graciously gifted us gold votives that went perfect with our florals! What I love about Shilhi is that she is personable and easy to talk to. She is super creative! She is someone I trust to go & create something beautiful beyond my own imagination.I wasn't afraid to give her creative freedom. I was able to trust her & believe that I was in good hands. In the end, everything came out beautiful & gorgeous. I just wish that the teepee she created for us was much larger! It is a lot smaller than what I imagined, but it still came out gorgeous! From this process, I learned: 1 ) I have expensive taste, and 2 ) Flowers are NOT cheap in Hawaii. Apparently they get imported from the mainland, Thailand, and other parts of the world. One would think Hawaii would have an abundance of flowers... they do, just tropical florals! Not the ones you would typically see or use for weddings. I highly recommend Passion Roots! They do fantastic work & are creative geniuses! Keep in mind, Saturday is their Sabbath so they have to contract the installation if your event falls on a Saturday. Installation is an additional charge to the florals.

Maria was fabulous! We first met with her to go over all the details of our wedding and once the day came, the bouquets, boutineers, floral arrangements and more were absolutely gorgeous and more than we expected.Instead of the traditional bouquets and arrangements, we went with Passion Roots because of their unique boho style. The different, more tropical, flowers that they used was one like no other.

Passion Roots did an INCREDIBLE job for our big day back in April. From the moment we spoke on the phone, the entire team was on top of making our big day one to remember. When we finally saw our flowers on the day of my husband and I both couldn't have been happier. They gave us exactly what we asked for and more. I would highly recommend passion roots for all your wedding day needs!

I have been eyeing Passion Roots' work ever since I got engaged and began to plan my wedding in Hawaii, where they are based. I saw their amazing work showcased on their website and Instagram. I did look at some other florists at first, but they just didn't compare. I definitely had to go with my dream florist which was Passion Roots! I am so happy I went with my gut and initial feeling, because the flowers are greenery were more than perfect on my wedding day. I did get a little crazy with the indecisiveness and questions, but Passions Roots was so patient with me and answered all my questions promptly. They are also very detailed in their emails which made the planning process for a non-local client like me who does not live where they are based, go very smoothly. I do want to mention that they do have a minimum spend which I believe is stated on their website, so please make note of this if you are being especially mindful of your budget. Every penny spent on my flowers was absolutely worth it though. They were able to do the look I wanted and I definitely did not have a "sky's the limit" kind of budget. If anything, I was thinking that my flowers would not be as grand, but I was very wrong! My floral arrangements were so full and gorgeous, and to die for! I feel that Passion Roots is very happy to work with your budget whether it is their minimum spend or if sky is the limit! Whatever look you are going for, whether it is simple or grand, they will make your floral dreams come true. My expectations were greatly exceeded when I saw all my floral arrangements on my wedding day. They absolutely carried out my modern tropical vision of soft pinks and greenery. I only wish I could've brought some flowers back to Canada where I live, but I don't think customs would've been very happy with that... I also wish I got to talk to them on my wedding day and give them a big hug for their beautiful work! Everyone who attended my wedding was really wowed by the flowers and greenery. Like, WOWED. Even my bridesmaids were saying that their bouquets looked like bouquets made for a bride so imagine how amazing the bridal bouquet was! There was also my beautiful floral crown which really made me feel even more special on my wedding day! It was all so gorgeous and perfect. Passion Roots, huge mahalo to your team for giving my wedding the modern tropical vibe I was going for. I know I never actually got to meet you in person, but through our online interactions, you are all such lovely people in addition to your professionalism. Any bride getting married in Hawaii should absolutely consider Passion Roots. Don't just take my word for it, take a look at their incredible work which speaks for itself!

Passion Roots is where it's at! BRIDES - if you're looking for a florist, look no further because they're THE BEST (hands down)!!!! Elana and Shilhi are very responsive, detail oriented, and super sweet!!!!! I was speechless when I saw our ceremony and reception arrangements. They were absolutely STUNNING and EXACTLY what we asked for. We must have changed my mind a million times and added and deleted to our scope of work a million times but they always stayed patient with us and helped us from beginning to end. Thank you ladies for making our special day so beautiful!!!!!!! xo

Definitely the best on the island. True professionals and they really put their heart into the business. Everything that comes out of this studio is a work of art.

Passion Roots is a dream to work with! Shilhi and team went above and beyond to make the things twirling in my brain become reality. They were patient, kind, fair priced, transparent and supportive through the whole process! Every person at our wedding was in absolute awe of the majesty and elegance of our flowers and decor... that is all because Passion Roots took time to help me fill in the blanks, dream a bit more and be bold. It. Was. Perfect. I would choose them EVERY TIME! Thank you for being a healing space that creates such magic.

Spent 750$ for 100$ worth of flowers!!! They gave me checkout line quick grab arrangements for my wedding! I guess they take advantage of out of state customers! Thankfully, I created the flowers for my ceremony, which looked a hundred times better than what they gave me and kept the other 2000$ in my pocket. I was robbed!!!

Passion Roots provided the flowers for my ceremony and the bouquets just took me and my bridesmaids breath away. They took my vision and executed it perfectly! I had a destination and it pained me that I had to leave the flowers behind. I highly recommend them for your event, you will not be disappointed. They answered all of my questions quickly too.
