If your dog could talk, he’d probably be as excited about your wedding as you are. But, just like any bride, there’s one big question – what to wear? Luckily, there’s no shortage of options to choose from, whether you’ve got a boxer in need of a bandana, or a bulldog after a bowtie.
We’ve scoured the internet for the most dapper dogs on display – everything from the more minimal wedding ensembles, to pooches that went all out on a crazy print – and then shown you how to recreate those looks. Hey, if Meghan Markle’s beagle Guy was invited to the royal wedding, he’d probably be browsing these too.

THE GARLAND

THE TIE
Sometimes you want to keep it traditional, and that’s where the doggy wedding tie comes in. A good choice for the long-legged dog that has the room to carry off a slightly bigger wedding accessory.
