Artist Creates Floral Crowns For Pets And They Are Utterly Stunning
English college professor Yarley made her first flower crown for fun... for her dog, Freya. The first floral masterpiece was beautiful, and Freya looked angelic in it, so she took some pictures and shared them (like any good dog mom would, of course). In an interview with Bored Panda, Yarley said, "I knew nothing about making crowns, so I just winged it. After posting a photo of Freya in her crown, I received a lot of positive feedback." According to Dr. Brené Brown, a leading researcher on vulnerability, “Creativity is a way to connect with ourselves and others,” which resonates with Yarley's journey. With all the positive feedback in mind, Yarley realized she may be onto something and created Freya's Floral Company, named after her number one inspiration and the dog who started it all. The married mom-ager from California and her Australian Shepherd superstar went on to make floral crowns for both people and pets! Each floral crown is made by hand, so even when the same artificial floral selections are used, each piece is truly unique—one of a kind, if you will.
Freya
As the first floral crown model, there is no denying Freya is a stunning dog, even without the artistic masterpiece adorning her head.
Leo
One of Yarley's most devoted customers is Leo, one of the most gorgeous Maine Coon cats you'll ever see.
Leo is a very popular cat, even for a Maine Coon, with over 150,000 followers on Instagram! Leo's fans adore seeing portraits of the purr-fect puss in these elegant, unique floral crowns!
As one of Yarley's biggest promoters, Leo has become a major source of inspiration for Yarley when she is creating new floral crowns. She said:
Leo’s momager has been a huge source of support, helping me promote my business and giving me advice. I am proud to announce that Leo has the biggest Freya’s Floral Co. collection, and he is a source of inspiration.
Yarley has also mentioned that she sometimes has a vision of Leo in her mind when she is creating the crowns!
But Freya and Leo are definitely not the only customers.
The crowns are so beautiful and look so good on so many pets that they draw in plenty of customers, who in turn share stunning photos of their pets!
Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!
If you're anything like me, then right now you're side-eyeing your dog or cat and just knowing in your heart that they would tear these beautiful crowns off their little devil heads so fast and make such devastating work of Yarley's art...
Don't worry!
Yarley's advice: "I always recommend bribery! [...] I trained Freya to wear crowns on her head."
So dreamy.
Sweet, little angel.
Leonidas' "momager" Jane also had a lot to say about the process and deciding to place floral crowns on Leo's head:
I've often seen photos of dogs in flower crowns, so I thought cats could rock them too! Luckily, Leo is a very laid-back kitty and lets me put the crowns on his head.
Fit for Royalty.
Seriously.
In case you're wondering, Jane confirms that the 150k fans love seeing Leo in the flower crowns:
...people absolutely love seeing Leo in the flower crowns! These photos often do the best among all of them.
Of course, verbal confirmation wasn't mandatory. It would be harder to look at the photos of Leo in the flower crowns and think anything negative than to love and adore each and every photo.
Poised.
This is definitely art.
MROW!
Even with a fierce face, Leo is rocking the catwalk.
However...
As elegant as Leo and Freya are, don't forget that Freya's Floral Company has lots of adoring customers, and the photos shared leave us as... adoring fans!
It's all in the eyes...
We can't tell what is more stunning: the pups and cats that model the floral crowns, or the crowns themselves! Perhaps it is fate that aligned them together for a perfect photo?
Two of a kind, but unique!
For folks who need more than one crown, it's no big deal! As we mentioned, each creation is unique, but they can still pair well when made from the same floral selections.
Majestic is the best word.
For all of these models!
Elegance Defined
Sometimes, the elegant dog-elegant flower crown combo is almost too beautiful to be real.
But it is real.
Proud Pup!
You would be proud too! (If you looked this fabulous!)
Angelic
So sweet, so very, very sweet.
Colors that pop!
This one really grabs your attention; everything from the dog and the crown to the background sucks you in and won't let go.
Celebrate Good Times
Bonus if you celebrate with flower crowns!
We could look at these pets all day.
...and then some!
