Memorial Day

We made our grave site delivery to Diamond Head Cemetary on Memorial Day and boy, what a sight.  Graves were doted with flowers and flags.  I would say the graves are almost as decorated with flowers as much to during Easter or Chinese Ching Ming.

Bouquet that is not real but unreal

We had a special request to re-create this flower bouquet below.  It is a bouquet of stephanotis, orange and pink rose with hypericum.   It is not made of real flowers as you can see…..

And here is what we came up with.  It is just as unreal as the not so real one.

Green Lei Deliveries

Did you know the lei that  you purchase from Sweet Blossoms Hawaii are delivered to the shop by bus, carpool or hybrid?  Yes, that’s another way to reduce our reliance on fuel, reduce delivery cost and our price offered to you.  Sure it is a triple win situation.  We love it. Hope  you like our low lei price too.

Lei vs. arm bouquet

Well, sure we are in Hawaii and we should get lei.  But sometimes it is kind of fun to get an arm bouquet.  No, I don’t mean a dozen roses from the grocery store.  I mean a really nicely arranged arm bouquet with nice wrapping and a big bow, the type you would get at a pageant or at the end of a recital.  So, try it, but cooridnate with each other, because she is only got two arms.

Congrat to the grads

Lei giving (piling) is a common a scene at graduations.  Consider lei with big visual impact such as the single orchids, carnation, and plumeria that are big in size and bright in color. Of course price are very reasonable for the tuberose, heea, sea grapes and ti-leaves lei but with less visual impact.  Then again, it is not about visual impact with lei giving.  It’s about sharing the aloha and giving congratulation.  Have fun at the graduation.  Take plenty pictures, okay.
