Hi! My name is Charissa, but you can call me Roo!
Congratulations on your celebration! I am here to guide you in the design process that will not only be affordable, but beautiful. Your floral choices will express your personality, the atmosphere and emotion you want your guests to experience!
My love for Floral Design began in high school when I took a basics class on floral arranging. That summer I began exploring things that grew wild in our yard and clipping our roses, bringing them to our table.
I worked for a short time in a flower shop which taught me many insightful things where I grew in my technique and knowledge.
I realized I had a passion for floral arranging and began to buy books and glean everything I could on being a florist. So began Flowers by Roo. My Mom suggested the name since her endearing term for me as a child was Rissa Roo. The name has always been special to me. Whenever someone calls me Roo in my business it makes me smile and I think of my mother.
Thanks for stopping by and getting to know a little more about me! Enjoy the process, I know I do!
"Charissa is awesome! Her aesthetic is a great combination of classic and current trends. She is a doll to work with and I highly recommend her!"
-Miranda, Wedding Coordinator at MIRAwed
"My wedding bouquets were stunning! All I really knew was that I wanted succulents, which at the time, was a fairly new idea. I still remember seeing them for the first time - they were far beyond anything I could have imagined myself! Charissa gave me the gorgeous greens with such fullness and texture. Each bouquet was so dreamily put together and absolutely one of a kind. To this day, my eyes have never seen their equal."
-Caitlin, Wedding Client
"Charissa has talent beyond belief. I've worked with her so many times, and each time she makes me fall I love with her style even more! She is my #1 choice of florist around, and it doesn't hurt that she is so much fun to be around!"
-Hannah, Photographer at Peaches & Twine
"Just wanted to say 'thank you' so much for the flowers! They were beyond amazing and we love them! We got all kinds of compliments. Thank you for helping me on such short notice!"
Gloria, Wedding Client
"Charissa is not only talented but so sweet! She is easy to work with and is both creative and kind! I always get excited when I see her on the list of collaborators for a wedding or shoot because I know I am going to get quality and have a great time as well. I love to refer her and you will definitely be in good hands if you choose to work with this sweet lady!"
-Katie, Owner at Sift Bakehouse
