Dog Bridesmaid Dresses

You know what they say?   “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” 

Well, if your pooch were a bridesmaid, she’d be pretty darn happy!  With the latest attire in dog bridesmaid dresses, there’s something for everyone.  And just think, if you get a versatile dog bridesmaid dress, she can wear it again and again (maybe even wear it during New Year’s Eve?)
With the latest fashions in dog bridesmaid dresses, like other dog clothing keep this in mind: style is important but comfort is key. 

In fact, the beauty about dog bridesmaid dresses is they’re multi-functional for other gatherings. As long as you don’t select white, pink, fuschia, navy, teal, any good ol’ bridesmaid colorful standby is good to go.  Here are some things to keep in mind as you shop for your dog’s bridesmaid dress:

  • Most are machine washable.  This means no “dry-clean only”  for your dog bridesmaid dress. 
  • Most dresses for dog bridesmaids are fully lined in cotton, particularly important for those June weddings.
  • Some dog bridesmaid dresses are made to order so it’s important to carefully measure your dog. And actually if it’s a puppy, take this into account and don’t order too soon where your pup will outgrow the bridesmaid dress. 
  • The bustle.  The bow.  The satin waistband.  Yes, dog bridesmaid dresses are stylish.  So, the beauty of it?  They come in various colors – pink, coral, eggplant, perfect for other gatherings beside the dog wedding.
  • Wrap style under the neck and the tummy.  This style for your dog’s bridesmaid dress isn’t just a flat sheet of boring fabric.  In fact, the wrap style is best when it goes under the neck and tummy. It allows for easy mobilization. Remember, comfort and style marry for a beautiful dog bridesmaid dress. 
  • Arm holes are important.  Most bridesmaid gowns for dogs include small arm holes so your dog can easily move around.
  • Satin bows.  This one’s important. Whether your dog is the runner up or the actual bride or merely a spectator in the crowd, think of it this way: only a certain dog can pull off wearing a bow.  The style of the dog bridesmaid dress you select should reflect your dog’s personality. While bridesmaid dresses for dogs may be custom-ordered, it’s not uncommon for a larger breed to wear one, but would you really want Fido wearing a bow?  Dalmation? No.  Pug? Yes.
  • Tiaras.  Definitely the bling.  While the bride-to-be is the main attraction, there are definitely ways for the bridesmaid dogs to shine, including some bling via a dog tiara.  Not to be outdone, of course, by the dog groom wearing a tuxedo and top hat.
  • Don’t lend it to your neighbors dogs.  Since the same exact dog bridesmaid dress will not fit the same two dogs alike, the fabric may get stretched or stained.   

Overall, dog bridesmaid dresses are fun and multi-functional for other important soirees in your dog’s life.  At The Dog Bowl, nothing is more important than your pets’ well being.  For more information about dog bridesmaid gowns and other black-tie attire click here.
