A Dogs Life

I will be the first to admit that I'm not a massive fan of dogs wearing clothes (or "accessories"). However I will say that there is probably one time they can get away with it. You've guessed it... A wedding! If you've got a family dog and you want it to be a part of your big day then it's not the worst thing if you dress it up accordingly. You wouldn't want to leave them out would you? 

What would you go for? Simple bow tie? Tux? Flowers? Hat? It's easy to coordinate them with the theme; get a collar to match the colour of the grooms tie, or tartan bow attached to the collar for a Scottish wedding. Obviously these "accessories" only need to stay on for the time it takes to snap a photo.

If you want your dog to be more in keeping with the wedding, it's probably a good idea to give them a good wash or take them to a professional dog groomer (save getting yourself soaking wet as you try to wash your dog). They'll be able to clean your dog, give it a nice trim and all in all make it wedding-ready for all of those photographs and human interaction (with dressed-up guests).

Here are some doggy-dress inspirations for you... But don't forget, only dress your pets in things that don't agitate them.
