We used Debbie for our wedding a couple of weeks ago, and the whole process going through the quote and choosing flowers with her has been so thorough and amazing. When we received the flowers I was floored, she chose just the right combination of flowers. One of my requested varieties was not in season, and what she chose as a replacement was even better than I could have imagined. Super professional, timely, and most of all beautiful work.

---- Unprofessional & Unreliable ----
We booked Debbie's rentals a month out, she confirmed all the items, delivery time, setup and everything was good to go. A few weeks out she informed us she would need to deliver the items earlier and we were open to working with her and around her schedule. However, 4 days before our wedding she cancelled completely; she wouldn't work with us on picking up the items ourselves or delivering the items early. Extremely Unprofessional and left us in a bind to find the main pieces needed for our reception. Talk about adding un needed stress

6 months after my wedding and I'm still thinking about how I should have never used Debbie. I saw red flags left and right. I don't know if it was just a fluke and her lack of service and care was only directed toward me... what a disappointment.
Failure to expand her mind and think creatively beyond her small inventory and personal preferences.
Failure to have a "can do" attitude.
Over priced and a great surprise on my wedding day with dinky bridesmaid bouquets, screwing up the groomsmen boutonnieres, and my bouquet was out of control. Huge, heavy and nothing special.

Debbie designed the flowers for my wedding. She did an amazing job! On my big day, I was a big freak thinking all of my vendors were going to show up late. However, her staff was on time, and very friendly. The only hiccup, was the fact that I paid $150 for cascading orchids for my cake, and only a few were put on our cake, but not $150 worth :( I'll give Debbie and her crew the benefit of the doubt, that they used our extra cake flowers for our centerpieces. It was such a great surprise when the lady came to my room with my flowers, they were stunning!

We had a great wedding in Hawaii....except for the flowers by Debbie Hemingway. Our entertainment provided by Wanna Hula, photos my Eugene Kam, venue by Hale Koa, and day of planning by Sherri Dang were all exceptional, but flowers designed but Debbie Hemingway was sub-par. She 1) did not get the flowers we ordered, 2) was very unorganized, and 3) gave us wilted ugly flowers for the flower girl to drop. To be fair, her flower design of the bouquets were very nice, but when you order flowers over 4 months in advance, you expect together the flowers that you want. I was also very unhappy with

Debbie provided some beautiful flowers for our wedding in Hawaii. I was happy with how the arrangements for all our attendants, arch, and table settings turned out. She is also very warm and friendly in person.
I took away a couple stars, because we had some communication problems. Getting a hold of Debbie can be difficult, since I think she's overbooked during the wedding season. You may want to take extra precautions to ensure everyone is clear on expectations. For instance, on the day of the wedding, our arch was originally set up facing the wrong direction! Thankfully, our wedding

Debbie made some amazing flowers for my wedding and I would use her again. The only hiccup was communication, email communication was a little confusing and made me feel like she was too busy to help me with my flower choices. On the phone everything was great. We ended up with fewer hair orchids than I had asked for, but it all worked out in the end.
The flowers were truly lovely and I was very satisfied with the product.

Designs by Hemingway have the most beautiful flowers. They did an excellent job with decorating our wedding reception. I also loved my bouquet of flowers. My bridesmaids were very happy as well.
My husband and I are slightly picky and we both like to have our contracts and everything perfectly done. Debbie couldn't get the date of our wedding on our contracts correct. We had to remind her several times. As the bride, I was getting very nervous about the fact that she maybe confusing our wedding date with someone's else date.
However, she did deliver the flowers early and communicated

Designs By Hemingway is Da Bomb!
10 days before my wedding reception I was at The Wedding Cafe (Ward Warehouse) when my eyes landed on the most beautiful wedding table display created by Designs By Hemingway. I went home, goggled the website....then OMG! Eye candy! Eye candy! I emailed right away & asked if they would be able to create something beautiful for my wedding reception within my budget & 10 days. The next day Debbie Hemingway responded & said "Yes"! (Yeah, got my dream floral designer). A couple days later we met for a short Q&A session. I told her my

If you want a personal, romantic, and flawless wedding, Debbie Hemingway is the person for you.
Debbie was our designer for our celebration on January 8, 2011 at the Bayer Estate. The moment we met Debbie, we knew she was the woman we wanted to do our design. Her ideas about flower design, decor, and lighting are original and creative. What sets Debbie apart from everyone else, though, is her attention to detail and her "out of the box" ideas for additional touches to your special day. Debbie's "Wedding Tree" at the Bayer Estate is one of those ideas, and it couldn

Debbie Hemingway is a very talented florist! She is one of the more expensive florists on Oahu but you see why once you see her work. Everything she creates is beautiful and perfect. She even adds a little more to what you order.
Once I spoke with her, I chose her right away to do my floral arrangement for my wedding. She was always very helpful with everything and very responsive to all my emails. She's very professional and always friendly.
If you want beautiful floral arrangements, definitely see Debbie!

Debbie Hemingway is fantastic. She is the most responsive, helpful and personable wedding florist that we interviewed. She is very professional, yet gives off the friend vibe. Her designs are exquisite and elegant. She is one of the more expensive florists on Oahu, but worth every penny. She comes very well recommended from various vendors (photographer, venues, etc.). We actually ended up going with different florist due to cost...but if I had the budget, there is no doubt that we would use her.
