"Pet parents: We've compiled some of the most adorable ideas for incorporating your beloved four-legged BFF into the wedding celebrations! Whether you own a cat, dog, horse, rabbit, reptile, or even a pig, there are plenty of ways to have your animal play a special role.

First, take into account their personality and whether your venue allows pets on the premises. Many couples choose to have their furry companions present for the "I dos" and reception festivities. However, if that isn't an option, consider scheduling an engagement or bridal shoot in the months leading up to the wedding, or taking photos with them during the getting-ready portion of the day. No matter which route you choose to go, notify all of your vendors so they can help you plan ahead and ensure a pet-friendly environment.

You can even use your relationship with your pet as inspiration for your wedding stationery, décor, favors, cake, and more. From subtle details to bold themes, check out some of our favorite wedding photos geared toward die-hard animal lovers. "
