Relaxed, country weddings might make a bowtie feel a little too formal. We love this floral bandana as a themed alternative! You’ll also love these doggy flower crowns from Hurley’s Wedding Day Dogs...

These polka dot red outfits are a fun take on the formal. Pets at weddings can be dressed in the couple’s chosen colour to look great in photos (think matched to the bridesmaid dresses, groom’s tie or even the bride’s statement shoes!).

It can be easy to forget that pets at weddings are, well, still pets. Sometimes their natural look is the best, comfiest and safest option – so if you think your pup might be tempted to chew his costume, get caught while racing about or just won’t enjoy what he’s wearing, don’t make him. Here’s proof that a quick brush is all a dog needs to look gorgeous!

Don’t forget to check with your venue and let your guests know if you’re planning on having pets at your big day. Nominate a willing bridesmaid or hire a pet sitter to take care of your pooch while you’re busy (you will be!). Above all, relax and enjoy your day surrounded by everyone you love, including your pets!
