Brandi Lelepali is a designer at Mei Day, a floral studio based in Honolulu that experiments with new interpretations of tropical floral design. meidayhawaii finds beauty in both the roadside weed and carefully cultivated bloom, using them to craft anything from simple arrangements to massive installations.⁣ ⁣ Mei Day is committed to being environmentally responsible—sourcing #local whenever possible, never using floral foam, composting green waste, and donating leftover flowers and plants to Islands Hospice. A portion of Mei Dayʻs revenue goes to Treehooo, a community project founded by Mei Day and PaikoHawaii to increase Hawaiʻi’s urban tree canopy.⁣ ⁣ With #ValentinesDay coming next week b_lips takes us to the Mei Day space in LanaLaneStudios to show us how to make a floral arrangement from #flora and #fauna that #foraged in the #neighborhood. Love is in the air (and pollen) on todayʻs Anywhere #AlohaFridays.
