Terry D’Agostino

Founder of Pawsome - Your Pet Concierge

For many couples, a wedding day would not feel complete without their beloved dog by their side. Including your furry friend in your celebration adds joy, personality, and unforgettable moments that reflect the love you share as a family. At Pawsome, your pet concierge experts, we help couples seamlessly weave their pets into the ceremony so the day remains smooth, beautiful, and entirely stress free.

From aisle walks to adorable photo moments, here is how to create a magical wedding experience with your dog as the star attendant.

Preparing Your Dog for the Big Day

A successful wedding experience begins with preparation. Making sure your pup feels confident and comfortable will help them shine on your special day.

Get familiar with the venue

Bring your dog for a few short visits before the wedding. Allow them to explore the space at their own pace so it feels familiar on the day of the event.

Rehearse the ceremony walk

Practice walking down the aisle with your dog so they understand the routine and feel calm in the moment.

Make sure your dog looks their best

Professional grooming, along with a simple and elegant accessory such as a bow tie or floral collar, ensures your pup blends beautifully into your wedding aesthetic.

Picture how charming it will be when your dog trots down the aisle in a custom outfit, becoming one of the most memorable parts of your ceremony.

Practical Tips for a Smooth Celebration

Here are essential steps to keep your dog relaxed, safe, and happy throughout the day.

Choose a pet friendly venue

Confirm that your venue welcomes dogs, has enough space, and offers suitable areas for breaks.

Assign a dedicated handler

A responsible caregiver is essential. They ensure your dog receives timely breaks, attention, and support so you can stay fully present in your celebration.

Prepare a doggy day kit

Pack water, treats, a leash, waste bags, and a portable bed. Comfort and familiarity are key.
