All cuteness aside, it is important to consider the logistics of inviting a pet to your wedding early so that you can plan accordingly. Is your venue pet-friendly? Can your furball sit still for extended periods of time? Having your pet present takes some pre-planning, but there are so many ways to make it happen.

We hope you enjoyed this pet wedding inspiration—good luck incorporating your furry best friend in your wedding festivities!
