Cassidy put together the florals for our wedding this weekend. We ordered arbor flowers that Cassidy recycled to our cake and sweetheart table. Unfortunately the wind during the fi...
rst half of our reception was a little WILD so my current photos of that aren’t able to do it justice until my photos come in. However, I have some photos of the flowers before I sent them off for preservation as well. 🙂
We also used Cassidy for rentals of pillar candles and bud vases. She assembled those and had welcome table greens for us, my bouquet, and my husband’s boutonniere. I was constantly adding things to the list like some spray flowers for my photographers for my flat lays. But she managed it. Cassidy attended our walk through to make sure that she saw the property and knew where our flowers would be doing. She provided some inspiration photos based on what I wanted and she delivered on that for sure! I think the centerpieces in particular were EXACTLY what I was looking for. She really nailed those and they turned out beautifully.
When we didn’t know what we wanted or struggled to get a good vision going, she made some suggestions and went through the pros and cons with me of options. It was great to get her input on things and also trust her perspective as it relates to florals. Thank you so much for a great day!

Cassidy demonstrated an exceptional eye for design, capturing the essence of our vision and elevating it to new heights. The attention to detail in each bouquet was truly remarkable, and the quality of the flowers was beyond compare. We loved them so much we had a bouquet pressed so that we can save a piece of our wedding forever.
Working with Cassidy was a delightful experience. She took the time to understand our preferences and offered valuable insights that enhanced the overall aesthetic. The result was a floral symphony that not only complemented our venue but left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
If you're seeking a florist who combines artistry, professionalism, and a genuine passion for their craft, Cassidy is the one. Our wedding was made even more magical by the enchanting blooms she provided, and we are immensely grateful for her talent and dedication.

I hired Rita's Roses as the florist for my wedding day! Cassidy (the owner) was very lovely to work with and is such a brilliant florist. As far as my giving details about flowers,...
I basically just told Cassidy my wedding colors (I don't know much about flowers). She took the very limited details that I gave her and created such an in-depth proposal that went above and beyond anything I could've imagined for my wedding day. She met with me to go through every part of the proposal and answered any questions that I had. Cassidy was very attentive and responsive, especially with some of the last minute requests I had before the wedding day. When I showed up to the venue on my wedding day, I was literally in tears at how beautiful everything was. Not only did she and her team transform our venue, but my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquet's, the boutonnieres, and corsages all looked absolutely amazing. Cassidy and her team showed up to our venue so early in order to ensure that all of the flowers were delivered and installed properly and literally not one detail was missed. The flowers were all so pretty, fresh, and fragrant! So many of our guests asked to take flowers home with them because of how delightful they smelled and how beautiful they were. Cassidy walked me around the venue before guests showed up to make sure I was able to see the centerpieces and everything else that we had worked on together. I really appreciated that she took the time to make sure I got to see all of the details about my wedding before things got crazy! I can't wait to hire Rita's Roses for the next event I have and I will be recommending to anyone and everyone!
