Roles for your dog

PLAN YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Creative ways to include your dog in your wedding

Dogs can take on a variety of meaningful roles in a wedding. Popular choices include ring bearer, flower pup, or part of the family entrance. Some couples even feature their dogs in the ceremony vows or in readings, creating heartwarming moments that will be remembered forever.

Choosing the right role depends on your dog’s personality, temperament, and training. Calm dogs are ideal for ceremony roles, while more energetic pups might enjoy being part of outdoor celebrations or photo sessions. No matter the role, including your dog adds a unique personal touch that highlights the love and bond you share.
