Cast Your Dog Right
Not all pets are suited to a wedding, and it's important to assess the temperament of yours...
You want your dog to be a cute addition, not a distraction.
Consider Your Own Personality
A relaxed attitude is crucial. Don't involve your dog in your wedding if it's going to introduce unnecessary stress for you.
Determine Your Dog's Role
Is it appropriate for the kind of ceremony you're having? "An animal fits a certain type of affair, one at a farmhouse or a private estate, perhaps, but probably not at a fancy hotel," says Sasha Souza, a California event designer.

Salute Your Pooch In Spirit
If your pet can't be present, find ways to honor her in your details. Name a cocktail after her, for example, or incorporate her photo into decor elements, like these drink stirrers.
Style Your Furry Friend
Take the animal to the groomer before the wedding so he'll look his best. However you want to accessorize Spot, make sure he's comfortable in his garb by trying it out a few times in advance. And if he balks at a full get-up, surrender the fantasy and opt for a simple collar; in general, it's best to keep adornments minimal and easy for the pet to wear. Don't make him wear them for longer than is necessary.
