Cecilia Roa, better known as CC, found her path to the floral industry after spending most of her life caring for people during her career as a health-care professional in nursing administration. Her passion for flowers led her to a new vocation as a floral designer. CC received her training from instructor Margaret Peters cpfd, at the Professional Florist program and Event Planning program in Vancouver and also from the School of Bridal Consulting program in Atlanta, Ga. This combination of passion and education has led Roa Floral and Event Designs in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour to become a successful and sought-after floral design firm. For this portfolio, CC created these designs with a wedding theme in mind.
Summer’s Ablaze
Create a sunny splash with this bright combination. This design features sunflowers with yellow mokara orchids in the centre of each bloom, orange pincushion protea, orange parrot tulips and kangaroo paw. The apple green embossed damask ribbon on the base complements the bouquet’s wired green aspidistra leaves.
Pillowing of White and Pink Blooms
White hydrangeas, Malibu roses, pink peonies, dark pink anemones and pastel pink parrot tulips are the ingredients for this design. To keep the look clean and polished, the stems are wrapped in scalloped white satin ribbon and accented with a rhinestone pin.
Cascading Bouquet Revisited
A white sphere made of tiny shells is accented on top with cascading white phaleonopsis orchids, dubium orange ornithagalum blooms, white anthuriums, monstera leaves and green ivy. Silver wiring adds a little bling along with extra details like chocolate brown satin ribbon and the tassels wrapped around the base.
Frills and Magic
Brighten up the bride’s trip down the aisle with colour! This bold-hued bouquet features amnesia roses, hyacinths, anemones, rice flower and cordyline leaves. The green and brown polka-dot ribbon, brown fringe and silver tags complete the funky look.
