See some of the ideas so you can include your favorite best friend, your dog, into your special day. Whether you own a cat, 
We have seen dogs here dress in bow ties or a tutu. Give your pup a bowtie that matches those of the groomsmen, or a little dress so your fur baby can be an honorary flower “dog”.
