Island Florals

I was looking online for a graduation lei and comparing prices and quality from a few flower places. Then I came across Island Florals. Their prices are reasonable. The quality is amazing. $ 25 for a white lei that was beautiful. Fresh as can be and totally fragrant. My co-​worker was thrilled and loved it so much. Will definitely buy from again when I need tropical beauties. Thank you!

Beautiful graduation leis & the most wonderful ladies creating them!!!
Their prices are incredibly fair & they were able to add 2 last-​minute leis for a friend!
I’m going to be back again for sure!

My friends and I had ordered graduation leis from Island Florals for graduation, and I was genuinely surprised at the quality and the price. It seems like a family-​run business, which is nice because every time we reached out to them, we generally got the same people responding to our questions. This eliminates mistakes or errors, in my opinion, especially with all of us calling individually on different days with different questions. We had reached out to other places to inquire about leis, which charged about $ 45 – 55. Island Florals was reasonable at $ 30 a lei! The quality of the flowers was amazing and they smelled SO good. I had received a few leis from other people/​family members that day that came from other flower shops, and none of them smelled as good as the one from here! They seemed to be really helpful with a bride-​to-​be and her mother in the shop when we were in there. Love it!

My first time here was a year ago, and today here Iam again, service is great and the quality is fantastic!

This is the best spot in OC to get leis for graduations. A lil pricey but they make beautiful leis. Been going here for years and I’ll keep going back. Great friendly service.

I can’t tell you anything bad about this place. the flowers are gorgeous and the owner is one of the kindest and most understanding people you could meet. seriously. true they aren’t much cheaper than other places, but the quality is ten times better than most florists and you can get a huge variety of flowers (primarily island flowers of course). the tube roses are the best.

Island Florals has a great assortments of beautiful tropical flowers and leis for special occasions such as Weddings, Graduations, Birthdays, Retirements, and so forth. I am pretty impressed with the leis that I have bought for two separate and special occasions. The first time, I last minute ordered a lei and they were able to put one together for me. The second time, I placed my order in a week in advance, but the staff called me before my pick up time to let me know that they were running low on the orchid that I’ve wanted. They then asked me if they could arrange the lei a different way, but still make it beautiful and I was willing to compromise with them because they were being very professional and friendly. The staff and florists at Island Florals are truly helpful and considerate in trying to accommodate the needs of their customers.
Once you arrive at the shop, you can parallel park in the front of the store (maybe limited) or park in the back lot (plenty parking here!). Picking up your order will be quick and simple whether you’ve paid ahead of time or in-​person. For me, I was in and out of the floral shop within a couple of minutes. I am happy that the leis were freshly made and came out beautifully. In the end, it is the best way for a special someone to get leid on their special day.

I phoned in to order some lei’s for a few different events and was rather rudely told that its graduation season now and they are making leis every school in southern California and that they couldn’t help me with what I wanted. im sorry but june is also the biggest wedding month of the year & not to mention people have birthdays too. I would have understood & sympathized these facts if they were presented in a more courteous manner. if you are overwhelmed & stressed don’t let it affect your new business! also the leis were $ 35 which seems to be on the high side for the local leis available. maybe I will try them for leis another time, maybe not.

This place was awesome. Beautiful leis and the people there were extremely helpful with giving me so much info over the phone. My lei was fresh, vibrant and a hit for commencement. Thank you!!!

Excellent quality. Feels like home.
I wish the hours were opened longer.

Island Florals is the best spot in OC to get tropical flowers! And if you want to send an extra special arrangement for a special occasion, you’ll definitely want to call Island Florals. Their arrangements definitely have the WOW factor! And the flowers will last for a few weeks. Much longer than roses!
I also like to order leis for special occasions like graduations & retirements! They have a great assortment of leis to choose from! But you definitely want to call them at least a week in advance to order your lei. Some leis take more time to make than others.
Every arrangement or flower lei I’ve gotten from Island Florals has been amazingly beautiful!

For my 100^th review this year for the Unilocal 100 Challenge, and the same day I received my 4^th ROTD, I wanted to share a hidden gem located in an industrial park on Logan, off Baker in Costa Mesa.
What brought me here recently is, I had to buy a lei on short notice for a special occasion. Ralphs and Conroys did not have anything available, so I remembered Island Florals. I also took the opportunity to order a lei in advance for a graduation that was taking place in one month. Island Florals has leis available every day, and they are open from, 7 am — 2 pm M, 7 am — 3 pm T– F, and 7:30 am — 2 pm on Sat.
Hawaiians give leis vs flowers to loves ones on special occasions: Weddings: Anniversaries; Graduations; Birthdays; Promotions; Lei Day (May 1^st). I bought an orchid lei on the same day as the event. The event was not that special, so a basic orchid lei did the trick. The ladies were super nice, and the orchid lei was beautiful and fresh just like I bought it back home in Hawaii.
For the graduation in June, I ordered a moderately detailed maile lei (like the one in my profile pic). Graduation is a special rite of passage, when a keiki (boy) becomes a kane (man), and so a special lei is required. Furthermore, a more complex maile lei w/​more design would be appropriate for a college graduation. Lastly, an even more appointed maile lei w/​orchids would be appropriate for a kane on his wedding day.
Forget your neighborhood florist or Conroys if you need a lei, or want to do something besides flowers. Island Florals is the only local mainland place I would go to for a lei. They have a lot of offerings at fair prices for last minute needs. In addition, they also offer fancier leis (ordered in advance), for more special occasions, and they assemble Hawaiian-​Style floral arrangements as well.

in a pinch, last minute need, Island Florals, came through. Selections was nice. with more time, I probably could have ordered a custom Lei. Fresh flowers and a catalog of options. Aloha spirit for sure. moderate pricing.

Came here after having an unsuccessful and not very helpful experience at the chain flower shop across the street from my house. (It was like a Conroy’s flowers or something).
Walked in and was greeted immediately by Sandy who was at a table in the process of making leis. She asked what I needed which were flower leis for my brothers graduations. She stopped what she was doing and walked me over to the fridge and showed me my options. She even pulled out the leis to show me exactly what they looked like and was informative with pricing. This place is a little hidden gem and it is awesome. I will most definitely be back here.

I needed a lei for a memorial service and was referred to Florence and Island Florals by one of the vendors from the flower mart in downtown. I called Florence on Wednesday morning and told her I needed the lei first thing Saturday morning. She was so sweet and accommodating. I felt like I was talking to one of my aunties from Hawai’i! I picked up my lei first thing in the morning and it was even more beautiful then I had anticipated. I highly recommend Island Florals not only for their gorgeous flowers and reasonable prices, but also their friendly and wonderful service. Thank you for Florence for creating such a beautiful lei to send off our loved one.

These guys do island type flowers right, what a find!
prices are a little high but still reasonable, service great, and product awesome.

I called Island Florals on Friday afternoon looking to re-​create our wedding reception centerpiece as a first wedding anniversary gift. I sent Florence a picture of the center piece and let her do the rest. Saturday morning the most beautiful bouquet was delivered to my very surprised wife! Florence just nailed it. Amazing service from a humble proprietor. We will be using Island Florals as our go to florist in the future. Simply amazing fresh flowers!
Mahalo Florence!

Other than missing the food in Hawaii, I absolutely miss the plethora of flower varieties and floral smells. I also miss the prices! While the leis I purchased from Island Florals were beautiful and fragrant, I about pooped in my pants when I got the bill. I basically spent $ 80 for two leis that I could easily have gotten from Long’s or a Mom and Pop lei stand in Honolulu for at total of $ 20.
I didn’t realize what a pain in the arse it was to get these tropical flowers here in Socal and although my former manager TOTALLY deserved such beautiful leis, I have never gone back to Island Florals for Hawaiian Leis because of the ridiculous price point.
My solution was to use the lei needle I’ve been harboring for over 20 years and make leis with what I got and can find.

After seeing this business on Unilocal,I thought I would give it a try. Walked into the store in the morning and they had three pre-​made arrangements I could choose from. I was torn between two because one had the colors I wanted but another had orchids I wanted in it. They were nice enough to just add some orchids into the arrangement that was the colors I liked. So friendly, laid back and accommodating. I have purchased similar tropical arrangements from florists further south and have paid triple the amount!

Ever since Hilo Hattie left The Block of Orange, I had to find a new place to get my lei’s. I discovered Island Florals and have purchased lei’s from them on several occasions. 2 out of 3 times, I had a great experience. One time I had a lei shipped to Seattle, and by the time it got there, the lei was pretty «limp».
On my most recent occasion, I pre-​ordered a pikake lei and kukui lei for my parents 80^th birthday party. Sandy, one of the workers there, called me several times, first to let me know that unfortunately they couldn’t get the pikake lei (which she warned me ahead of time that she may not be able to get it), and the second time to let me know when the lei’s had actually arrived for pick-​up. She always kept me abreast of the status of the lei’s and displayed outstanding customer service!
Overall, I’ve been very pleased with the lei’s I’ve purchased from them and the overall experience. I’m happy to have found a decent lei shop after my tried and true Hilo Hattie left The Block of Orange!
