If you plan on getting married soon, I hope you have saved some money! Even a budget wedding costs a few grand. Making sure that you do not over spend is key. When including your dog in your wedding or any party that has to do with the big day, catch yourself before going overboard on expensive bridal doggy apparel. Keep in mind that the price tag for dog tuxedos and bridal gowns does not dictate quality. Your guests will think it is cute whether your canine party goer is sporting a $25.00 dog tux or a dog wedding dress vs $125 dog tux or dog bridal gown. Plus, you’ll have more money left for accessories!

What? You did not consider accessories? Your dog is now looking good in his doggie duds and is wearing his normal collar and leash. What! It is like wearing tennis shoes with a suit! Only a dog collar encrusted in rhinestones will look proper with a dog tux or dog bridal gown. If you do not like flashy rhinestones, keep it simple but fancy and clean.

When you are primping a female dog for the big occasion, you can find all sorts of adorable barrettes with rhinestones or a variety of colors. You can also find some that come in the shape of a bow or that look like a crown. If you are still under budget, a Swarovski crystal hair pin would be beautiful! That is a personal preference whether or not you want to spend the extra money.

If dog tuxedos are not your style, or your dog will not keep on clothing, try a dog collar that mocks a shirt collar with a bow tie. These novelty dog collars are perfect for formal occasions. One thing that is great about the tux collar, even if you do dress your dog in a tuxedo for the big event, he may not want to stay dress up for the entire evening. You can just change him into a tux collar. He will not be bothered by it in the slightest bit.

Your guests will be so delighted that you dressed up your dogs, they will not be focused on the price of the doggy tuxedo or wedding gown. They could care less if they are designer duds or not. You may not be purchasing the dog formal wear for the dogs to partake in human affairs of the heart but for a doggy wedding itself! If this is the case, do not forgot a wedding cake made out of dog treats for the reception!
