WELCOME BACK TO WEDDING WEEK
HERE ON "LIVING 808."
IT'S YOUR BIG DAY AND YOU WANT
THE SURROUNDING AREA OF YOUR
WEDDING AND RECEPTION TO LOOK
AMAZING.
WATANABE FLORAL HAS BEEN MAKING
CUSTOMERS HAPPY FOR DECADES.
GENERAL MANAGER MONTE FERREIRA
KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT TAKES AND
HE'S HERE TO HELP THE SOON-TO-BE
NEWLYWEDS FIGURE IT OUT.
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS AND I
LOVE HAVING YOU ON THE SHOW.
TELL ME, THERE'S SOME STEPS
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE FIRST AND A
CONSULTATION IS ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS YOU'VE GOT TO DONCHT THE
FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS WITH A
FLORIST IS GOING TO BE A
CONSULTATION.
BUT BEFORE YOU BOOK THE
CONSULTATION, IT WOULD BE GREAT
TO HAVE YOUR LOCATION ALREADY
SET AND YOUR COLOR SCHEME
ALREADY SET.
THE FIRST THING THE CONSULTANT
IS GOING TO ASK IS WHEN ARE YOU
GETTING MARRIED AND WHERE
BECAUSE THAT INFLUENCES THE
TYPES OF FLOWERS THAT WILL BE
MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE YOU BOOK
YOUR CONSULTATION, YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GET
MARRIED AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR
COLOR SCHEME IS AND WE CAN TAKE
IT FROM THERE.
I'M SURE KNOWING WHERE ALSO
HELPS.
IF IT'S A BALLROOM, YOU NEED TO
KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FLOWERS AND
ARRANGEMENTS MAY BLOW IN THE
WIND.
IS THAT PART HER IT?
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
HAVE FRAGILE FLAKE RENT FLOWERS
NOT GOING TO DO WELL OUTSIDE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN AN AIR
CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT, THEN
YOUR OPPORTUNITY OR YOUR CHOICES
ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE ROBUST.
UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING THAT
GOES INTO IT I THINK IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
IDEAS TO HELP THE BRIDE AND
GROOM FOR A LIMITED BUDGET.
YOU GOT ANY TIPS ON THAT?
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT
EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT
HERE.
THIS IS A ACTUALLY BRIDAL
BOUQUET.
AFTER THE CEREMONY, TAKE IT TO
THE RECEPTION AND DRO IT IN THE
VASE AND YOU CAN DO THAT WITH
ALL OF THE BRIDES MAIDS AND THAT
ONE THING I LIKE DO TO IS FOCUS
YOUR MONEY.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS HAVE ONE
WOW FLORAL FOCAL POINT.
INSTEAD OF DOING 35 SMALL CENTER
PIECES, WHY NOT CREATE $1,000
HUGE ARRANGEMENT AS SOON AS YOU
WALK INTO THE BALLROOM THAT
EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE TAKING
SELFIES AT AND POSTING IT ALL
OVER SOCIAL MEDIA AND HAVE A
SIMPLE CENTERPIECE ON THE TABLE.
FOCUSING YOUR MONEY IN ONE MAJOR
FLORAL PIECE IS WHAT I SUGGEST
YOU DO.
I LIKE THAT.
ADD A LILLI LITTLE EASEL THAT SAYS
WATANABE FLORIST.
I NEVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING A
BOUQUET INTO A VASE.
OR IF YOU'RE DOING A CHURCH
WEDDING OR OUTDOOR WEDDING, YOU
HAVE THESE PEW PIECES.
THOSE THINGS CAN ALL BE REUSED.
USING THINGS AT THE CEREMONY AND
AAFTER AT THE RECEPTION IS A
GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A
CONSULTATION?
GO TO OUR WEBSITE, PUT IN
YOUR LOCATION OR STOP BY OR CALL
US.
ANY OF THOSE WAYS CAN GET YOU A
CONSULTATION.
THE FIRST CONSULTATION IS FREE
AND WE GO FROM THERE.
I KNOW YOU'RE A BIT BIASED.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IT
ABOUT WATANABE FLORAL THAT SEEMS
TO HAVE PEOPLE COMING BACK AND
REALLY WANTING YOUR HELP.
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOURSELF
FROM THE OTHERS?
THERE ARE A TON OF TALENTED
FLORISTS HERE IN HAWAI'I.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE
ALWAYS SEPARATED WATANABE
FLORAL, WHAT WE'RE REALLY PROUD
OF IS OUR CORE VALUES OF REALLY
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN WITH THE
MIND SET OF KEEPING THE SPIRIT
WHEN THE ALOHA, TREATING EACH OF
OUR BRIDES WITH LOVE AND MAKING
SURE THAT THEY ARE FIRST AND WE
HAVE SUCH A VAST TEAM.
WE HAVE A FLORAL TEAM OF TEN
DESIGNERS FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
WE HAVE CONSULTANTS JUST DOING
THE CONSULTATION.
WE HAVE SPECIALISTS IN EVERY
AREA TO HOPEFULLY GIVE YOU THE
BEST CHANCE OF HAVING A
SUCCESSFUL WEDDING.
♪ LEADING THE CHARGE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL GOES
INTO IT BUT I'VE SEEN BEHIND THE
SCENES SOME OF YOUR FLOWER
DESIGNERS AND BOUQUET MAKERS
GOING AT IT.
IT'S A MINUTED BOGGLING PROCESS.
DOING IT FOR SO LONG.
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR OVER
70 YEARS.
NOT YOU.
THE COMPANY ITSELF.
YOU'RE ONLY 25 YEARS OLD.
YEAH, SAME AGE AS YOU.
MONTE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AGAIN, MAYBE A CONTACT NUMBER OR
HOW SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT'S
LISTENING.
YOU CAN CALL US OR JUST GO
ON-LINE WATANABEFLORAL.COM.
CLICK ON WEDDINGS.
THERE'S AN INFORMATION SHEET
RIGHT THERE, VERY SIMPLE.
PUT IN YOUR INFORMATION AND
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
MONTY PEREIRA, EVERYBODY.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
GREAT BEING HERE.
