A Family Affair

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Jamie and Sarah join their Mom

ROA Designs was founded in 1996 and started out with a simple, singular focus: Florals. After recognizing the significant role that florals play in enriching the overall look and feel of luxury events, event design was naturally added to the roster of products and services from what once operated as a humble floral boutique.

As ROA Designs began to scale, CC enlisted the help of two talented individuals who were lucky to inherit their mother’s magical touch–her very own daughters: Jamie and Sarah.

Jamie’s creative prowess and keen eye for design, combined with Sarah’s attention to detail in planning and coordination, has created a recipe for success. Together, this dynamic family unit has built a strong portfolio of work which has captured the attention of many–from newspapers, media outlets, and editorial publications both near and far.

Leaning on this family of designers has built a strong portfolio of work which has captured the attention of many- from newspapers, media outlets and editorial publications both near and far. Having Jamie and Sarah has helped in adding to ROA’s growing trophy case of accolades which include: the Professional BC Wedding Award, Best Bouquets by Wedding Belles, Fleurs de Villes’ Most Realistic Floral Mannequin (Coco Chanel) and the Canadian Wedding Award, to name a few.
