About Us

Malo ho'omou lelei! My name is pauline. born & raised in san francisco, CAlifornia. I am a wife and mother. My creativity was inspired from my late mother, Kalolaine Fanaika Livai, my aunts, and late grandmothers who were talented in arts & crafts, lei-making, quilt-making, knitting, sewing, tapa cloth-making & mat weaving etc. Initially, I started working with balloons and Later got inspired to design leis for my 5 beautiful nieces and the rest was history.
Soon I became a self-taught lei-maker, florist & balloon artist and with determination, Tiare Blooms was soon established. WITH OVER 15 years of experience and Proud of MY Tongan/Polynesian roots, I AM able to share, help preservE MY culture & also inspire others into their own creativity.

Tiare Blooms is family operated and continues to serve primarily the Bay Area & throughout the U.S. Thank you for choosing Tiare Blooms!

TU'A 'EIKI 'OFA ATU!
