Don’t sweat it! There are lots of heart-meltingly adorable ways to dress your canine counterpart for your big day! 🙂

2. Add some extra bling to the pearls by pairing them with a gold chain or beads with baubles from The Sassy Pup.
3. Dance the night away and pawty like animals as your pooch wears a sporty and comfortable bandana like one of these from Amazon!
4. Your Dog of Honor will look fabulously fetching in Ivory burlap and muslin flowers! Check it out on Etsy here.
5. Floral collars are an excellent face-framer! Click here for an awesome DIY.

7. A floral corsage is a sweet and special accessory! You can find this magnificent corsage on Loverly.
8. Flowers, leaves and little buds make for a very pretty and dainty crown. Follow this DIY from The Chilly Dog or ask your wedding florist to put together a gorgeous arrangement for your pup.
