Global Wedding Awards 2026 | 5 Our pets are loyal and can bring a lot of excitement to a wedding. Your dog will certainly be happy to see you down the end of the aisle and can help bring even more laughter and joy to what can sometimes be a serious moment. And if you’re nervous walking down the aisle, whether from the having everyone watch you or from the pressure of this big moment, taking your pet down the aisle with you can be calming and make the moment a bit easier. 5. Paw party Don’t simply have your pets at the party. Make sure you invite your guests to bring along their own furry friends so that the animals can also enjoy the party. Your dog doesn’t want to sit through your wedding speeches alone so make sure they’ve got some company for the day. This can also make a great photo opportunity with each pet adorned with their own boy ties and hats for the special occasion. 6. Sewn into your clothing If your pet can’t attend, or you simply want them a bit closer to your heart, then why not incorporate some sewing into your clothing? This could be your pet’s name, a picture of them, or even a laced outline of their nose or paw print for an extra special touch. This can also be a great keepsake for the years to come. 7. Paw-print sign-off Start off your wedding in the right way by making sure your invites fit the theme. When sending out your save-the-dates, make sure you’re including something special to your pet. This can include a custom paw-print sign-off from your cat or dog. After all, it is their approval that matters most after all! 8. Name a drink after them Your drink station is likely to be a popular place at your wedding, whether to add to the celebration or to cool off after some much-deserved dancing. Why not name a drink after yourself, your partner, and your pet? This can be a small touch to your wedding which adds your animals to the party even if they cannot attend. 9. Cake topper Your cake topper is a representation of you and your partner at the start of this journey – and nothing completes the little family more than your furry friend. Add a cake topper designed to look like your cat, dog, or other pets for something extra special. Why not also have a smaller, separate cake made specifically for your dog? Add an animal-friendly tier to your cake so that every pet can enjoy their own slice while you sit down to eat your own. Bringing your pet into your cake-cutting ceremony can make for some memorable moments and great photos – especially if you and your partner feed them some cake too. 10. Ditch the daisies for dogs Looking for a memorable photo opportunity that is a bit unique? Why not ditch the flowers for your furry friends and take your wedding photographs with your pets? Everyone can have their own pet in their arms instead of the traditional bouquet or empty hands. And who knows, the mischief of pets might bring out some memorable moments!
