How to Make a DIY Dog Wedding Flower Collar

For your DIY wedding dog collar, you can select wildflowers – either real or from a craft store – and combine smaller blooms with accent flowers.

Either you can highlight accents through color choices, such as predominantly white or soft pink flowers with darker pink highlights. Remember to include some greenery as well!

Wreath Materials:

• 2-3 bouquets of any non-irritant, flexible stemmed flower
• scissors
• floral tape
• floral wire

Instructions:

1. Lay out and separate your flowers, then begin cutting off branched groupings of flowers. Once you have your bouquet cut into individual branches, lay them out on a flat surface and begin grouping/bunching them in a vertical line with the stems overlapping one another.

2. Use your floral tape to join and secure the stems together, and wrap floral wire around any spots that need extra support or that have little flyaway pieces. As you add flowers, it should start to resemble a garland.

3. Once your garland is long enough to hang loosely around your dog’s neck, join the ends together by overlapping them and securing them with wire/tape. Overlapping the pieces will disguise the tips and give it a smoother finish.

4. Gently place the wreath over your dogs head so that it hangs comfortably. Enjoy!

We hope you enjoy making your very own homemade dog wedding wreath – it’s sure to be the perfect dog-friendly touch to your special day!
