A Wedding Dog - Katie & Lon, The Liberty House Katie and Lon donate to one of their favorite causes in lieu of having favors. Our special couple, Katie and Lon wanted to donate to one of their favorite causes in lieu of having wedding favors. Katie asked if it would be possible to have a small dog at the placecard table where their would be a sign advising their guests of their donation. “A small dog, like the one that Preston Bailey has on his website”. Did we know what she meant? A small dog??? Like Preston Bailey??? Of course we knew exactly what she meant! We would LOVE to make a dog, of all flowers!!! (We would like to acknowledge our dear friend Preston for his inspiration) 
Making a wedding dog—Sam as we call him! Congratulations to Jill for an exquisite design!
From pictures of dogs posted in front of her, Jill takes blocks of floral foam and carves the shape to perfection. Dowels are added to make the legs and inserted into the main body.

After all the foam is shaped, floral wire is placed over the foam to reinforce the whole design. 500 white carnations, yes fluffy white carnation create this beautiful dog. Fluffier football mum make his face and floppy ears. Green Kermit mums make his collar. 
Just look at Katie’s face as she sees the dog as she enters the room. We can’t tell you the happiness we have that Katie actually went to pet her dog!! LOVE IT!! Enjoy, much happiness and joy to Katie & Lon and to all the homeless animals they have helped with their wedding donation!
