Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and for many pet owners, their furry companions are an integral part of the family. Depending on where your venue is or what kind of animal you have, you may or may not be able to bring your pet along for your wedding. However, there are quite a few ways to include your pet in the wedding festivities whether they are there or at home. So for all you pet lovers out there, here are some fun and heartwarming ways to incorporate your pet into your special day!

Create signature cocktails named after your pet or featuring pet-themed decorations. It's a great way to celebrate your pet's personality and add a personal touch to your reception. Our clients Taylor and Harry named cocktails after their cats Calvin and Monty! Not only does this showcase your beloved pets, but it also adds a playful twist by transforming the drink orders for the day into a fun, pet-themed experience.

Imagine your pet walking down the aisle adorned with a floral wreath or a dapper bow tie, carrying the rings or scattering petals. It's a charming and unforgettable moment that will surely bring smiles and laughter. Morgan and Blake decided to have their dog Sully stick around for the entire ceremony. Sully did a fantastic job being flower pup!






Paw-fect Photo Companions

If your pet is well-behaved and comfortable around people, consider having them stand with you in your wedding photos. Brittany and Thomas shared their photos with their pup Ollie! This symbolic gesture showcases your bond and emphasizes the importance of your pet in your life together.




Pet-Inspired Party Favors

Send guests home with pet-themed favors, such as custom treats or miniature figurines resembling your pet. It's a thoughtful gesture that ties back to your wedding day and celebrates your pet's presence. For instance, Kelsey and Adam incorporated their dog Muffin into various party favors. These included adorable cocktail stirrers, personalized cocktail napkins, and koozies featuring fun illustrations of their furry friend. These creative touches made Muffin a memorable part of the celebration.

Dress your pet in a stylish outfit that complements your wedding theme. From tiny tuxedos to elegant collars and leashes, there are countless ways to make your pet look dashing and feel like part of the bridal party. For example, Olivia and Dennis's dog was a sharp dressed man in his tux. He also had a matching boutonnière!







Pet-inspired Decor

Incorporate your pet's likeness into your wedding decor. From custom cake toppers featuring your pet to table centerpieces adorned with photos, there are many creative ways to honor your furry friend throughout the venue. Don't be scared to think outside the box. For example, one of our couples, Beth and John, couldn't bring their dog to their venue. So instead, they had topiary sculptures made to resemble their dog Trudy!




Pet Photo Booth

Set up a photo booth with props and accessories for guests to take pictures with your pet. It's a fantastic way to involve your guests and capture memorable moments with your furry companion. Not only did Trudy make an appearance with sculptures, but in the photo props too!





Incorporating your pet into your wedding day creates unforgettable moments and highlights the bond you share with your furry family member. Whether they're walking down the aisle, posing for photos, or on a cocktail stirrer, your pet's presence adds warmth, joy, and a touch of whimsy to your celebration of love. Embrace the opportunity to include them in your special day and cherish the memories for years to come. We hope to see you and your furry friends soon!
