Dog Outfits (ring bearer/flower girl)
My fiancée and I are getting married in T-month (I’m a very type B bride - the big stuff is taken care of but I have a lot of little details to do still😂). We are being a bit untraditional, no official bridal party just friends helping us out where they can without a formal obligation. We are having flower girls and ring bearers though. Our 2 dogs are like our children as well as the friendliest pups ever and do everything with us, so it is very important to us they are included in our big day. That being said, flower girls will be our female dog, my 7 y/o niece, and my 11 y/o sister. Ring bearers will be our male dog and my 4 y/o nephew. The children are very competent in being able to walk the dogs down the aisle and have a lot of experience from growing up around dogs before anything is asked about it that. I am also be hiring/working with a dog sitter who will be responsible for caring for the dogs throughout the day and making sure they are ready to go down the aisle so that responsibility doesn’t land on any guests or ourselves.
Long story short, I am debating on what to have the dogs wear. Flower girls have dresses with matching bows, so I was thinking of having another matching bow for our flower dog and possibly a harness mounted basket to hold the flowers? My nephew will be wearing suspenders and a bow tie, so I figured our male dog could also have a matching bow tie and I’ve seen ring boxes that could clip to his collar?
I’m not really a huge fan of the dog dresses/tuxes and it doesn’t really fit the vibe of our outdoor wedding anyways.
Has anybody done something like this, and if so what did you end up using?
