Meet The Owners

We’re Emily and Tara—business partners and friends—and the proud owners of this cherished floral shop. Since joining forces at the end of 2020, we’ve dedicated ourselves to creating unforgettable floral experiences through our bespoke wedding and event designs. When the opportunity arose to take over Kahului Florist, a local gem with a legacy dating back to 1962, we knew it was the perfect chance to blend our passions with a rich tradition of community care.
Emily, the strategist, brings her love for gardening and financial planning to the table, ensuring every part of the business thrives. Tara, the creative visionary, pours her passion for design and community outreach into every arrangement, crafting pieces that tell a story. Together, we’re committed to keeping the spirit of Kahului Florist alive—honoring its past while shaping a vibrant future.
For over six decades, Kahului Florist has been more than just a shop; it’s been a cornerstone of our community, a place where people find joy, comfort, and connection through the beauty of flowers. We’re passionate about continuing that legacy by offering timeless floral arrangements, curated gifts, and a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
Our mission is simple: to celebrate life’s moments—big and small—with heart, artistry, and a commitment to our community. Whether you’re picking up a bouquet “just because” or planning an event that marks a milestone, we’re here to bring your vision to life with flowers that speak from the heart.
Thank you for trusting us to carry on this beautiful tradition. We can’t wait to meet you, hear your stories, and create something truly special together.
With love,
Emily & Tara
