Any dog or cat owner (or reptile, pig or bunny owner- you get the picture) knows that pets are family, so why not include them in of the most special days of your life?

If your furry friend is well behaved (and only if they’re well behaved), they should def. accompany you on your walk down the aisle. A puppy ring bearer? Yes please! Of course, a wedding requires a special type of dress, and that extends to your dog (or cat!) too. Is there anything cuter than a dachshund in a tuxedo, or a papillon in a tutu? We think not!

These 10 paw-fect pet wedding outfits from Etsy will make for priceless wedding photos. A word of advice though- make sure your pet is comfortable in the outfit, otherwise things can go go awry pretty quickly (the last thing you want on your wedding day!). If your pet may be a bit too spunky for formal attire, and crowds of strangers, check out this post for ideas on how to include them in your special day.
