Bridal fashion for dogs

Once in awhile you will see dog is included as a member of the bridal party such as ring bearer. It's more often now since more venues are not pet friendly, you can include your beloved dog on your special day but not leaving he/she alone at home or with friends. Since they are allowed to the venue and included on your special day, you may want to get them an outfit as well. Again, reading on the MSN, it has an article about the bridal fashion for dogs...Read on~ :)

Bridal fashion has gone to the dogs
How to tastefully and stylishly incorporate pets into your wedding party

So you’ve gone for your final dress fitting at Vera Wang, picked the perfect shade of pink for your bridesmaid dresses, convinced the groom — with all your charm — that the groomsmen ties will need to match that perfect shade of pink, and finally figured out where to seat the crazy third cousin who always manages to embarrass himself at every family function. Now all you need to do is find an outfit for your canine baby. Where do you start?

Get your pup’s measurements (neck, neck to tail, girth). The key to looking good, as we all know, is wearing the right size. Also, understand your pup’s body type. Now I know you are asking yourselves, what do you mean by body type? Well, dogs, just like us humans, come in all shapes and sizes, and to look their best they need to dress appropriately. Everyone hates Chihuahuas because they are the fashion models of the dog world — perfectly proportionate and they can wear anything and rock it! On the other hand, when you have a full-figured breed like a pug, you have to be more considerate about how you dress them in order to show off the right assets.

As a designer to Hollywood’s "A-list" dogs, I am constantly keeping my client in mind while I am designing. You want the dog to wear the clothes and not the clothes to wear the dog. Otherwise they look like they are wearing a costume.

Interesting right? So if you are thinking to have your dog included in your bridal party, make sure you ask the venue if they are dog friendly, if there any policy if you decided to bring your dog, if there's a time that your dog will need to leave the venue, and if there's location on the venue that do not allow pet. If your dog is allowed only for certain time, it's best to have your friend who is not in the bridal party to take care your dog afterward.
