Dog Days of Weddings

Pets and Weddings

Many couples want their closest friends and family members to be a part of their big day. This includes the furriest members too! Your beloved dogs are just as much a part of the family. Here are some creative ways to include your precious pup in your wedding. 

Professional Photos

Even if your pooch can’t attend the wedding, you can include them in the professional photos before the ceremony. Plan with your photographer to have photos taken with your furry friend while getting ready or during your bridal party and first look photos. If the venue doesn’t allow dogs, your engagement photos are another great occasion to have your pup by your side.

Many venues in South Florida allow your pup at the wedding. Here is a list of venues that will welcome your dogs with open arms:

Booking a dog-friendly venue incorporating your pet in the ceremony can be fun! (Wo)Man’s Best Friend should be there by your side as your Pup of Honor or Best Dog. Your puppy can sub as a Ring Bearer or Flower Pup too. 

Signature Cocktail

There’s no better way to honor your furry friend than with a signature cocktail. Here are some fun breed-themed cocktail recipes to choose from. Or you can create your own refreshment inspired by your four-legged friend. SPOTini anyone? 

Family Photos

Many couples display family photos at the wedding. This is a great way to showcase all the memories shared with you and your loved ones. So, why not include photos with your beloved family dog? Choose your favorite puppy pics and add them in with the rest.
