Anyone who knows me knows my love for animals, especially for my two boxers, Homer & Sophie. So when I have a client that would like to incorporate their dog into their wedding, I get so excited! But a commonly asked question is how?!?
Well there is the idea to have them walk you down the aisle or being the “flower dog”. You can find the most amazing garments to adorn your furry pet in. From elegant silk bridal gowns, to sassy flower pups dresses, to adorable tuxes all made especially for your four legged family member. But there are a couple things to think about when you want to have them be added into your wedding party. First of all make sure the venue will allow this. I know it sounds crazy that someone out there would be opposed to you bringing your baby to the wedding, but not everyone loves them as much as we do. Also please make sure they are well trained pups if you are going to have them be part of the ceremony. There is nothing worse than muddy puppy paws on you beautiful gown.
Another idea is to make them part of your wedding stationary. Nothing cuter then having your dog’s “mug” looking up at you on a “Save the Date” card asking your guest to be part of your day. Or having them pose with different numbers so you are able to incorporate them in the table numbers. Or my personal favorite is a cute “doggie” treat cookie in honor of the couple’s pet.
No matter what you choose to do, they will feel the love you have for them. What other ideas do you have? Please share with us; we would love to hear about them!
