Doggy Love

For a lot of us, dogs play a major role in our lives. They are one of the family and almost like a child in the household, well, at least in my house. =)
These days dogs are becoming part of more weddings, and why not? Here are some of my favorite wedding images of dogs.

This dog looks JUST like my dog Charlie, and coincidental, this dogs name is Charlie too! Although my Charlie would likely be all over the place instead of sitting nicely like this Charlie. =)

And, silly enough, this dog looks just like Charlie's best buddy, Achilles. =)

Who's bearing your ring?

Traditionally, the ring bearer for the wedding celebration was a little boy, usually anywhere from ages 4-8.


These days traditions are being broken and your ring bearer can be anything from your pet dog, to the best man and maid of honor.



I love the idea of including your beloved pet in the wedding celebration! After all, they are part of the family too. Just make sure they are well behaved enough. I don't think my chocolate lab could handle all the excitement and I know he would be all over the place!


I love the idea of using flowers or, such as the picture shows, moss, in place of a ring pillow. It makes everything look so much more organic and beautiful!


How cute is this idea?! I love all the flowers they embellished the wagon with!
