Are you wild for your pup? Our dog wedding ideas will inspire you to include your favorite four-legged-friend in your nuptials (or as a special part, even many miles away). Check out our favorites, from Dog of Honor outfits and dog ring bearer collars to the dog tuxedo, a must-see… and subscribe for the latest!
Is your dog your BFF? Are you and your soon-to-be spouse wild over your four-legged friend and want them to be a part of your wedding day? Well, we have quite the fun finds for you today. Your dog would love an invite to your wedding, ride with you in the limo, sit on your gown while you put on your lipstick, and sit at your feet during dinner (hoping for a table scrap, but still). You KNOW your pup would wag his or her tail all night long, even if he was the first one up at dawn to watch you do hair and makeup, and the last one on the dance floor if you were still dancin’. And they’d want to go home and sleep in your bed and hog the covers and steal your pillow. And snore.
Dogs are the best. Here’s mine.
If you want your dog to be a part of your wedding in person physically as a ring bearer, flower pup, or emotional support loverbug or from afar (because your venue might frown upon that), we’ve got you covered. We’ve curated the coolest list of dog wedding ideas featuring dog wedding signs, dog collars, save the date ideas, and more, all beautifully handcrafted by artists who adore pups just as much as you do.
