earable fl ower designs for pets
are not only adorable and fun
but oh so fashionable and
trendy—especially for canine and feline
members of a wedding party. Here, FTD
Director of Design Andrea Ancel, AIFD,
CFD, demonstrates one technique for
creating an easy-to-fi t fl ower collar that
will be comfortable for any pet to wear.
For this monobotanical design, Ancel
chose Phalaenopsis (moth) orchids,
which are listed by the ASPCA as being
nontoxic to both dogs and cats. Be sure
to consult the ASPCA's extensive lists
of "Toxic and Nontoxic Plants" for dogs,
cats and horses—at aspca.org/pet-care/
animal-poison-control—before selecting
botanical materials for fl ower designs
that will be worn by Fido or Fluff y.
