I hear so many people say that their dog or cat is more than just a pet—they are part of the family. Well, for those engaged couples looking for a way to include Fluffy and Fido in the wedding ceremony, here’s an idea for your consideration: make them your ring bearer and flower girl.
No kidding! I saw this idea in a popular craft store to make your pet part of your wedding decorations. Now you can purchase “costumes” for your dog to be the ring bearer and your cat to be the flower girl.
The dog costume is a tuxedo “bib” that ties around the dog’s neck, complete with four French cuffs. The pillow is tied around the dog’s midsection so that it sits level on his back. The flower girl costume is a frilly pink headband, tutu, and a basket for the flower petals that hangs around the neck. These are purrfect (sorry—couldn’t help myself) for those brides and grooms who truly consider their pets part of their family and want to include them in their wedding ceremony.
You may want to consider this idea for getting your pets safely down the aisle: have a traditional flower girl and ring bearer pull child-sized wagons loaded with the pets so that they reach their destination safely and in a timely way. The wagons can be decorated with tulle, fabric, ribbons and flowers to match your wedding decorations so your pooch or kitty can enter in proper wedding style.
So think about making your best friend part of you big day!
