Adorable and Stylish Ways to Include Your Dog in Your Wedding

by

He’s always there when you need him. He’s the only one who can make you smile after a bad day. He’s always up for an evening of Netflix and cuddling on the sofa. We aren’t talking about your fiancé. The number one man in your life is your dog.

Now, more than ever, brides are including their beloved furry friend in their wedding. They are family, after all! Dogs are dressing for the occasion, hanging out with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, wagging their tail down the aisle, and partying with guests well into the night.

There is no denying that these four-legged companions add a welcome dose of cuteness and humor to the ceremony and reception. Are you thinking about having your dog be a part of your big day? Here are some adorable and stylish ideas from our real BB weddings for inspiration.

Wedding Inspiration For The Vintage Bride

by

Your dream wedding dress is Christian Dior’s breathtaking creation “Junon,” which the designer made for his Fall/Winter 1949-50 collection. Unfortunately, The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art doesn’t have a “rent program” set up right now. You’re not giving up though and will do everything possible to have a wedding that evokes the look and feel of an earlier era.

Flower Girl Looks We Love

by

There is that one moment during a wedding when the flower girl steals the show. All guests turn to see the sweetie in her adorable dress, sprinkling petals as she bashfully walks down the aisle. We love when one of our brides includes a flower girl in her bridal party. She adds a touch of charm and lightness to the ceremony. In addition to a basket full of petals, she may carry a mini-version of the bridesmaid bouquet or wear a pretty floral crown. For the bride who plans to have a flower girl or two, here are some of our favorite looks from Real BB Weddings to use for inspiration.

The custom of men wearing flowers can be traced all the way back to 2000 B.C., when the Aztecs wore brightly-colored blooms to show their allegiance during times of war. In wedding culture, the groom wears a flower from his bride’s bouquet to symbolize his bond with her. He also gives each of his groomsmen a flower to wear on the left side, just above their heart.
