Dogs In Your Wedding

So many couples are including their dogs in their big day.  Here are some of my favorite pictures for inspiration.  Dogs are becoming the new untraditional participants in wedding ceremonies. They are either being entrusted with roles such as ring bearers, bridesmaids or groomsmen.

Although it is not the norm for couples to include their dogs in their weddings, be assured that it is not just wacky dog lovers who are doing it.

♥ The first thing to do if you plan to include your dog in your wedding party is to check with the officiant. Make it clear to them what your dog’s role in the wedding will be. Ensure that they are comfortable with this idea.


♥ Be warned, churches do not usually allow dogs or it could be that the officiant is worried about the dog wreaking havoc or having an incident. Reassure them and have them meet your dog if necessary.

♥ You should also check with your ceremony and/or reception venue whether dogs are allowed. This is really important and you should not leave something like this to chance on the day – refusal to allow your dog entry to the venue because you have not received permission prior to the wedding would cause unnecessary upset on your special day.

♥ Inform the photographer that your dog is to be included in the wedding photos. Make sure they do not have a problem working with animals.
