Rebecca’s passion for floral design began in childhood and grew into a career after earning a degree in Ornamental Horticulture. She gained extensive experience working in floral shops across multiple states, and large-scale event design for corporate parties and weddings. Amidst the various shops she worked in, she also launched her own business creating floral installations for large events and weddings, all while raising five young children. During a particularly demanding period as a head designer, Rebecca recognized supply challenges—especially in creating sympathy arrangements for urns—exacerbated by the pandemic. Seeing a need for a better solution, she collaborated with her husband, Justin, to develop and patent the UrnTray. It is an innovative floral wreath tray with a built-in platform designed to solve multiple mechanical design issues. Their floral wreath trays are manufactured in the United States, and designed for efficiency, strength, and professional presentation for special items. She remains passionate about enhancing floral design efficiency and loves collaborating with florists and designers to bring new creative ideas to life. All supplies will be furnished, just bring your tools and your talent! |
