Nowadays, pets have become one of the most important parts of everyday life, so much so that they have even become a part of bigger life events, such as weddings. If you’re planning your big day and would love to have your furbabies join the party, here are a few adorable ways that you can include your pet.
FLOWER GIRL
Adorn your furchild with ribbon, dog jersey, tutu or even a flower crown and let them lead the way as you walk down the aisle.
RING BEARER
Give your pet the honour of bringing you the rings, which can be placed securely in a basket or on a ribbon around your their neck. If your pet isn’t well-behaved enough to walk straight down the aisle themselves, ask a family member or friend to assist by walking your furchild to you and your soon-to-be spouse.
THEMED SAVE-THE-DATES
Surprise your future guests with DIY save-the-dates including a photograph of your pet/s that will have them ‘aw-ing’ at the cuteness
VIDEOGRAPHER
Want to get a unique view of your big day? Strap a GoPro camera to your pet’s back and allow them to wander around your wedding venue and amongst your guests. You can look back at it after your big day and share some laughs at what your pet got up to! Ask your official videographer to include the footage in your wedding video.
FAMILY PORTRAIT
If you just want a simple reminder that your pets shared in your day, ask your photographer to take some shots of you and your pets during your shoot time. You can even dress them up in little suits, bow ties, tutus or flower arrangements to have them fit with the theme!
Having your pets join you in celebrating your big day is definitely an exciting time, but also remember to be aware of your pet’s personality and behaviour to ensure that they are not overwhelmed or mistreated at the event. If you can, assign a pet-nanny for the day to make sure they are comforted, fed, watered and not getting up to mischief.

Can’t decide on a shoe for your big day? We have some tips to help you choose the perfect pair of shoes for your wedding that will make the decision that much easier.
1. TAKE YOUR DRESS INTO CONSIDERATION
Stumbled upon your dream wedding shoes but haven’t bought your dress yet? We recommend wait a little before snatching them up because you want your shoes to complement the dress. If the length of your dress is shorter, then your shoes need to make a statement – go for a pop of colour or a shoe with some glitz and glam. If your dress length is on the longer side wear shoes that are comfortable and simple.
2. KNOW YOUR VENUE
Much like checking the weather before you step outside in the correct pair, the venue you’re having your wedding at should influence the type of heel and heel height you wear. Trust us, you don’t want to find yourself wearing pencil-thin stilettos anywhere near grass, rough paving or lots of stairs.
4. COMFORT FIRST
Always prioritise comfort. Always. If your shoes are hurting you and all you can think about is taking them off, then is having them really worth it? Go for a lower heel or a block heel so there’s less pressure on the balls of your feet. Choosing this option also means you will be able to stand a lot longer and be able to dance the night away with ease! And if you really must have that dream pair, shop a fancy pair of flats as well, in case you need backup halfway through the event.
4. THE REAL TEST COMES AFTER YOU BUY THEM
If your shoes can be returned, a good way to test whether they’re a good fit is to wear them – standing – for at least an hour (indoors, ideally on a clean surface). Take them grocery shopping or cook your dinner in them one night. If you find it too difficult, they may not be the shoes for you.
