5 Paw-dorable Reasons For Including Dogs In Weddings
Including pets in weddings has become increasingly popular in recent years, and we can see why. Dogs are particularly known for their loyalty and affection and can add an extra touch of happiness to an already special day. So, get ready to dive into an adorable world of wagging tails and licks as we tell you 5 reasons why you should consider including your four-legged bestie in your wedding.
1. Unforgettable Wedding Moments
Picture this: You’re walking down the aisle with your fluffy companion happily leading the way. It's a heartwarming sight sure to leave a lasting impression and get a collective “awww” from everyone. Plus, dogs can add a touch of humor to the celebration. Imagine doggie-sized tuxedos or fur babies excitedly running around in circles during your couples portraits session. Those are guaranteed to be some spectacular candid photos with big smiles across your faces!
2. Dog Of Honor De-Stressing Your Day
Not only can dogs provide comfort and companionship, but studies show that they can also reduce stress and anxiety, something every bride and groom can benefit from on their big day. Pets help you de-stress and focus on enjoying your big day. Plus, who wouldn't want their beloved furry family member to be a part of their wedding paw-ty or simply have them as a cuddly guest of honor? So, let's raise a paw to all the pets out there who make our lives brighter and wedding days (and photos) more fun!
3. Cherish The Puppy Love Wedding Photos
Yes, pets can be unpredictable! But THAT’s the beauty of including them in your wedding photos. Their unpredictable nature adds an element of spontaneity and adventure to your special day. They’ll add a personal touch to your photos, as well as provide comfort and shower you with their pure love, adding an abundance of warmth and authenticity to wedding images! Imagine dogs in bow ties, bandanas, or flower crowns; the possibilities are endless! And let’s not forget that the internet can never get enough pets in wedding photos!
4. Celebrate Furry Family Ties
For many couples, their pet is an important family member, and it only makes sense to include them in their wedding. By including your dog in your celebrations, you acknowledge their importance in your life and send a message of their value and respect like that of any family member. It adds a layer of genuine love and sincerity that cannot be replicated. So, go ahead and give your fur baby a seat at the table or, at least, in your wedding photos.
5. Honor Their Love For You
Lastly, let's not forget why we have dogs in our lives in the first place: To provide love, comfort, and companionship. Well, your wedding day is the epitome of a joyous celebration of these very things! Besides, dogs are excellent icebreakers and can help to get all the guests mingling and having fun. Making them a part of your celebration is not just a fun and cute idea but also a way of honoring the special bond that you share with them.
In conclusion, including pets, especially dogs, in weddings is a no-brainer! They'll provide memories, alleviate stress, look adorable in photos, and bring joy to everyone. It has become a popular trend and can add an extra touch of love and joy to the special day.
5 Paw-some Ways To Include Your Beloved Dog in Your Wedding
Dogs are loyal, loving, and always up for a good time. So, if you've decided to make your four-legged bestie a part of your big day, here’s how you can make it happen:
1. Woofing Down The Aisle
One way to involve your pooch is to have them walk down the aisle with a designated handler. Imagine having your dog carry the rings down the aisle or wear a floral collar as they walk alongside you. You can attach the rings to their collar or have them carry a small pillow or basket with the rings. Additionally, some couples choose to have their dogs wear a special outfit or flower collar to match the wedding colors or theme. For a seamless experience, make sure that your dog is comfortable carrying the items and is familiar with the surroundings.
2. Fur-tastic Wedding Photos
Another way to incorporate dogs into a wedding is by having them pose for the wedding photos. They can sit next to you, cuddle with you, or you could even have them show off some cool tricks! Dogs can add a playful and whimsical element to the photos, making them more memorable and special.
3. Attend The Ceremony Or Reception
If your dog is well-behaved and social, why not let them be a part of the audience at the ceremony? Many couples opt to have their pets make an appearance during cocktail hour or even mingle during the entire reception. Just make sure to hire a dog sitter to keep them company and make sure they have everything they need.
4. Wedding Paw-ty Member
If you are going to have bridesmaids and groomsmen at the wedding, why not add your dog to the mix? Dress them up in a cute tuxedo or bridesmaid dress, and let them stand with the rest of your closest friends. They might just outshine all of your friends, but hey, you will love them for it!
5. Keep It Personalized
For those who want to include their dog but can't have them physically present, consider incorporating them into your decor. You can have custom artwork, place cards with pictures of your pet, or even use their paw prints as a unique design element.
As you plan to get your dog involved in the celebrations, make sure you're taking care of all the essential details! Before the big day, check if your venue permits pets, and inform your guests about the presence of your fur baby during the festivities. Also, make sure you assign a caregiver to watch over your pup and guarantee they're comfortable and happy. Taking care of essential details will ensure their safety and allow you to enjoy the day and their presence.
