There are tons of ways couples can incorporate their pets in their big day so they can honor their furry friend and show off some personality at the same time. If you’re looking for inspiration for how to make your pet a part of your wedding, feel free to use these ideas to get your planning going:  

• Ring Bearer – Having your pet serve as the ring bearer for the wedding ceremony is one of the most traditional ways pets are included in weddings. But it isn’t just traditional, it’s also adorable. It’s so cute and fun to see a dog, cat or any other kind of animal walk down the aisle. It will be a joy for you and your guests. You can have your pet walk down the aisle by himself if you’re confident in his training and that he won’t bolt or balk. Or, you can have a friend or family member walk down with the pet holding a leash. Feel free to have fun with your pet’s outfit, too. A tiny bow tie or an animal-sized top hat? Yes please! 

• A Horse, Of Course – Don’t worry if your pet is more untraditional. Take horses, for example. There are tons of ways you can make a horse part of your wedding. If nothing else, having a horse will make for gorgeous photos as you can sit or stand with him for romantic shots. You can also try riding your horse down the aisle or riding away on your horse at the end of the ceremony. Looking for a grand exit? Exiting your reception on horseback will be remembered for years to come. If you’re worried about your horse getting scared of the people or camera, try taking bridal portraits with your horse after the wedding.  

• Kittens, too – Dogs aren’t the only beloved four-legged friends! Cat lovers can also incorporate their pets into weddings. You can bring your cat to the wedding to serve as a ring bearer or to sit with you in your wedding photos. If you don’t have a cat yourself and are just a cat lover, you can really show your appreciation for felines by posing with rescue kittens in your photos. That way, friends and family that view your pictures can also be exposed to kittens that are looking for homes.  

 

If you love your pet but don’t want to bring him to the wedding, you can try having pictures of him at your reception or even put a figure of him on your cake as a wedding cake topper.
