How to Include Your Dog or Cat
in Your Wedding Day

Pet-inclusive weddings are no longer a novelty. They are a choice that an increasing number of couples are making, and making well. Dogs walk down the aisle as flower girls and ring bearers. Cats sit in front-row seats as distinguished guests. Pets appear in engagement photos, ceremony portraits, and first-dance shots that end up framed on walls for decades. If your pet is part of your family — and they are — then they belong in your wedding photos, your wedding memories, and on your wedding day.

The only question is: what do they wear?

At Moshiqa, we have been dressing the pets of the world's most discerning pet parents for over twelve years. This guide covers everything you need to know about including your dog or cat in your wedding day with the elegance, comfort, and luxury the occasion demands.

The Bridal Party Your Pet Deserves

A wedding has roles. The bride. The groom. The best man. The bridesmaids. The flower girl. There is no reason these roles cannot extend to four-legged members of the family — and every reason to dress them accordingly. Here is how Moshiqa approaches each one.

For the Bride: A Gown That Means It

If your dog or cat is playing the bride — or simply attending as the most well-dressed guest — the Moshiqa Bride Gown is the only option that treats the occasion with the seriousness it deserves. This is not a costume. It is a custom-made couture gown, individually tailored to your pet's measurements, crafted over 15 days by Moshiqa's atelier.

The multi-layer soft tulle is bridal in the truest sense — the weight and movement of the fabric is designed to photograph with the same luminous quality as a human bridal gown. The delicate detailing is hand-finished. Every element of the silhouette has been considered for how it reads in both natural light and flash photography, because wedding photos last forever and a gown worn in them should be extraordinary enough to deserve that permanence.

To order: simply provide your pet's neck circumference, chest circumference, and back length at checkout. Moshiqa does the rest. Please allow 15 days for production — this is not a ready-to-ship item, it is a tailored piece made specifically for your pet.

For the Groom: Sharp, Dapper, Undeniably Handsome

The groom's side of the wedding party deserves equal attention. The Moshiqa Groom Dog Shirt is the wedding-ready piece for the male dog who is expected to look impeccable. Tuxedo-inspired, precisely tailored, and built for the kind of formal occasion where every photograph matters.

Pair the Groom Shirt with the Best Man Bathrobe for a complete wedding-day routine that covers both the pre-ceremony preparation and the ceremony itself. Because a dog who takes their role seriously arrives prepared — and that means a proper spa moment before the main event.

The Wedding Morning Ritual: Pet Spa Before the Ceremony

Every bride has a getting-ready morning. Hair, makeup, the robe, the champagne, the photographs of the preparation itself. These photographs are among the most treasured from any wedding — the quiet before the ceremony, the anticipation, the intimacy of the moment. Your pet deserves to be part of this morning too, dressed for the occasion from the very first photograph.

Moshiqa's bathrobe collection was designed precisely for this moment.

For Him: The Best Man Bathrobe

The Best Man Dog Bathrobe by Moshiqa is exactly what it sounds like: a luxury 100% natural cotton bathrobe for the male dog who is standing beside the groom on his most important day. Classic white with black bow and stripe detailing — it photographs with the same elegance as a human dressing gown, which is precisely the point when wedding morning photographs are being taken.

Use it after the morning bath before the ceremony. Use it for getting-ready photographs. Use it on the spa days that precede the wedding itself. The Best Man Bathrobe is available for both dogs and cats, because weddings are inclusive affairs and felines attend them too.

For Her: The Principessa Bathrobe

The Principessa Bathrobe is Moshiqa's most romantic piece. A kimono-style bathrobe with a full ruffle lace hood, satin ribbon accents, and a soft belt — it is inspired by fairy tales, which makes it precisely appropriate for a wedding morning. The ruffle lace hood is a detail that photographs with extraordinary softness. The satin ribbon accents catch the light. The natural cotton towelling underneath all of this romance is genuinely absorbent, genuinely quick-drying, and genuinely practical.

The Principessa has been worn by Lady Gaga's beloved French Bulldog Miss Asia — the dog who has her own modelling contract, her own Instagram account, and an eye for a good bathrobe. It is available for both dogs and cats, in sizes from XXS through to XL.

For the bride's dog, for the flower girl, for any female pet who is part of the bridal party and deserves a getting-ready moment as beautiful as the humans she is standing beside — the Principessa is the only choice.

The Complete Pet Wedding Party: How to Style the Whole Occasion

The most photographed weddings of the last decade have one thing in common: intentionality. Every detail was considered. Every person in the frame was styled. Every moment was composed with the knowledge that these photographs would be looked at for decades.

Including a pet in your wedding increases that intentionality — because a pet in the wrong outfit, or no outfit at all, reads as an afterthought. A pet in the right outfit reads as exactly what it is: a deliberate, loving choice to include a family member in the most important day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet-Inclusive Weddings

Can I include my cat in my wedding?

Yes — and more couples do this than you might expect. Cats attend weddings as lap guests, photoshoot subjects, and ceremony participants. The key is knowing your cat's temperament. Calm, well-socialised cats handle the occasion gracefully. The Principessa Bathrobe and Bride Gown are both available for cats, as is the Best Man Bathrobe.

What is the most popular pet wedding role?

Ring bearer is the most searched and most photographed pet wedding role — a dog carrying the ring box down the aisle is one of the most viral wedding moments on social media. The Groom Shirt and Best Man Bathrobe are both designed with this role in mind. Flower girl is the second most popular, and the Bride Gown was specifically designed for this procession role.

How far in advance should I order a custom pet wedding gown?

The Moshiqa Bride Gown requires 15 days of production from order confirmation, as it is custom-tailored to your pet's measurements. We recommend ordering at least three weeks before the wedding date to allow for production and shipping. For destination weddings or peak wedding season (May–September), order earlier.

What measurements do I need for the custom Bride Gown?

You need three measurements: neck circumference (around the base of the neck where a collar sits), chest circumference (around the widest point behind the front legs), and back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail along the spine). Provide these in your order notes or message us after checkout.

Are these pieces available for all dog breeds?

Yes. Because the Bride Gown is custom-made to your pet's measurements, it fits any breed — from a Teacup Chihuahua to a Standard Poodle, from a Maltese to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Best Man Bathrobe and Principessa are available in sizes XXS through XL.

The Wedding Day Your Pet Has Always Deserved

A pet-inclusive wedding is not a trend. It is a reflection of a relationship — the one between a person and their animal — that has always been important enough to be acknowledged, and is finally being celebrated in the way it deserves.

Moshiqa exists for exactly this. Twelve years of luxury pet fashion, celebrity partnerships, and couture craftsmanship — all applied to the simple, profound belief that if your pet is important to you, the way you dress them should reflect that importance.

For your wedding day: the Bride Gown is custom-made and waiting for your pet's measurements. The Principessa and Best Man are ready to ship. The Groom Shirt is dressed and ready.

All that remains is the ceremony.
