    Life’s Greatest Moments Saved with The Floral Preservation Co.

    Flowers bring love, friendship and happiness. Can we save the memories, and keep the moments longer, or forever? The Floral Preservation Co. makes this impossible dream come true. The most beautiful flowers for your deepest memory can last forever.

    Ladies, are your holiday centerpieces looking a little droopy? Don’t toss them! Preserve your petals with David Tutera-endorsed The Floral Preservation Co., a proprietary method of preserving flowers and the memories attached to them. The DIY Flower Drying Kit includes microwave directions, quick dry papers, reusable drying boards, holding clips, wrapping cord, a special finishing spray, and shaping tweezers. Also available is a line of floral keepsake albums with airtight sleeves to store the dried flowers, an additional 4 X 6 sleeve for a photo of the event/memory and a note card to journal about the special moment.

    Flowers can evoke powerful memories and emotions. Carnations and senior prom. Red roses from your first love. White gardenias when you married your soulmate. Tulips on Mother’s Day. Lilies at the passing of a loved one. It was the loss of her great-grandmother that prompted Teresa Rinne to establish The Floral Preservation Co., a method, keepsake album, and new tradition for preserving floral memories.

    During her childhood, the company founder and CEO had discovered dozens of dried flowers tucked away in the family Bible, while visiting her great-grandmother in Kentucky. As the older woman helped return the flowers to their home, she explained that each dried flower had a special memory attached to it. When she passed, she took those memories with her. Through trial and error, Teresa developed an at-home process for preserving fresh flowers—and their memories. The quick and easy process, which involves microwaving the flowers, then sealing them with a spray, preserves the flowers and retains far more of their vibrant colors than pressing them in a book.

    The Floral Preservation Kit includes microwave directions, quick dry papers, reusable drying boards, holding clips, wrapping cord, a special finishing spray, and shaping tweezers. Also available is a floral keepsake album consisting of air tight sleeves to store the dried flowers, an additional 4 X 6 sleeve for a photo of the event/memory and a notecard to journal about the special moment.

    “One of my great-grandmother’s flowers was from my mom, who had spent a summer with her and picked her a fresh flower before the journey home. The memory was vivid to her and took her back to that moment and filled her with joy,” recalled Rinne. “I want to help people commemorate these milestone occasions. I’ve often wished I could have the flowers that my mom had given her grandmother.”

    The quick and easy process, which involves microwaving the flowers, then sealing them with a spray, preserves the flowers and retains far more of their vibrant colors than pressing them in a book.

     Let’s take a look of the preserved galleries of what we can make.

    In partnering with The Floral Preservation Co., David Tutera is returning to his roots. The popular celebrity event planner’s career was born in the shop of his grandfather, a successful florist, who noticed an artistic gift in his young grandson- an eye for design – and encouraged him to develop it.

    Together, Tutera and The Floral Preservation Co. founder, Teresa Rinne, are offering flower recipients a way to commemorate milestone occasions, such as weddings, proms, first dates, holidays and even funerals, preserving not only the blooms from these special occasions, but also the memories attached to them.

Unlike traditional flower drying processes, The Floral Preservation Co. gives you the ability to preserve the form, beauty and color of all of your floral memories!

    Beach Lovers Attention! You Should Have U-Stand For Your Next Beach Trip

    Fill your U-Stand with weight (sand, water, ice and drinks), insert any umbrella, and enjoy stress free shade. Tired of sandy drinks? The U-Stand features a two-piece table top with 4 full size upholders! Also tired of digging holes for your umbrella, only for it to go flying down the beach with one gust of wind? Don’t worry, U-Stand got you covered.

    This multi-purpose, portable umbrella stand was originally made for the beach but let’s be honest, the possibilities are endless with the UStand! It comes fully equipped with a storage base for all your beach or pool gear and an umbrella stand to help you soak up the sun without getting burnt!

    U-Stand “Shade Anywhere” is a “patent pending”, portable bucket with a tube that runs through its center and opens up at the top. It is engineered to be highly portable, incredibly lightweight, and rugged enough to withstand the abuse of everyday use.

    The empty U-Stand can be easily taken to the beach, filled up with sand, and set up with a beach umbrella. Imagine a bucket full of beach sand incessantly preventing your umbrella from taking off. That’s U-Stand for you. Filling it up with sand sounds too much of work? Fill it up with water. You can even bring ice in it from home.


    The intelligently designed bucket stand offers a flat tabletop with cupholders on top of it for convenience. It’s the ultimate beach accessory.

    How It Works:

    STEP 1 – Fill up the U-Stand with beach gear, attach the lids.

    STEP 2 – Carry the U-Stand with shoulder strap to your destination.

    STEP 3 – Empty your beach gear.

    STEP 4 – Fill the U-Stand with something heavy, Sand (90lbs), Water (60lbs), Ice & Drinks (50lbs).
    Warning: The U-Stand is designed to support your beach umbrella. The U-Stand must be filled with weight. DO NOT PUT UMBRELLA IN WITHOUT WEIGHT! 

    STEP 5 – Attach lids to the top

    STEP 6 – Insert beach umbrella pole through center tube and push into sand at least 6 inches.

    STEP 7 – Tighten set screw to secure the U-Stand to the beach umbrella pole.

    STEP 8 – Open beach umbrella. SIT BACK AND RELAX -ENJOY THE SHADE 

     

    Where can you use the U-Stand?

    • Use it at the beach
    • Backyard
    • Outdoor Concert
    • Sporting Events
    • Lake

    When used correctly the U-Stand has been proven an effective way to reduce fly-away umbrellas. Use caution when winds are gusting and close your umbrella when the conditions are too strong. IMPORTANT: Always fill your U-Stand completely with heavy weight (Sand, Water, Rocks) when winds are strong.

    If you are doing holiday shopping lately. You should totally add U-Stand into your shopping list. As social distancing is still required, going to beach is the activity we always do in South California. Enjoy the beach time and feeling the warm sunshine. U-Stand solves a lot of “beach problems” in an easy way. If you are having a tropical Christmas this year, this is also a cool tool you should carry with you.
