Y'all see this roundup of doggy formal wear yesterday? We're topping it! Michaela and Jeremy comprise the gorgeous pair we're seeing in these photos from their Old Hollywood-inspired Prague wedding bedecked in sequins and glamour. But I know what you're thinking: WHO ARE THE PUPPIES? When you see their feathered dresses and adorable suits, that's an understandable question. This couple rocked a wedding party comprised of three puppers (and nine human companions, too).
We heard about it through the voice of Montecristo, the tan and white pooch, who joined the two chihuahuas, Oliver and Chloe, in their wedding party duties. Montecristo's biped parents are also in the wedding party, natch!
Here's a little of what Montecristo himself had to say about the experience of being in a wedding party as a dog (via owner Sonja):
If you think that the logistics of adding three dogs to a wedding wasn’t enough (like promising that our paws would not touch the ancient Mirror Chapel floor even though high heels were okay *eye roll*), we had our own wedding party attire to organize! The men were in timeless pale grey suits and thus Oliver and I as male dogs, had our own mini replica suits made. Complete with purple bow tie, pocket squares, and cufflinks for our shirts. Chloe got to be a perfect in an exquisite grey feather tutu dress.
We had rehearsed the night before so everyone knew what to do. It went off like clockwork. I was very excited when it was our turn to walk down the aisle ahead of the bride. It was Dad on one side with me, then the ladies in the centre (Mom and Chloe), and the groom’s brother with Oliver on the other side. I think we made quite and entrance and caused quite a stir. I think even though people knew we dogs would be there, no one expected we would look this good.
HA! If you have a pet, you already know they're family. Here are the dapper pups in all their bow-tied and tutu-ed glory…

Stop it! That is the cutest thing on the internet! The doggie dress! I had to go to their website (under the vendors: wedding party dog) to get the whole scoop.
Ha! Thank you, Lisa 🙂
The pups were adorable. They are our babies, so naturally they had to be included in everything.
Sincerely, Michaela
I am glad you liked it. I am the one that has the Montecristo blog and sent this in for consideration. 🙂 My little fluff ball is the long hair Chihuahua. What I LOVED about this? My dog … is not THEIR dog! and yet he was part of the wedding party. Was BLOWN away!
Awww! That photo of the dog on a lap (both wearing matching suits!) being fed from the plate is just too cute for words!
So cute! All of the dogs look very dapper.
