Dog of Honour: Your Ring Bearer with a Tail!

Imagine your beloved pooch trotting down the aisle wearing a floral collar, a satin bowtie and… your wedding rings! Dogs make the cutest ring bearers, and if your pup is part of your love story, what better way to include them in your big day? Just make sure they practice their walk and maybe don’t let them near the cake…

Private Lemur Experience? Yes, Please.

As newlyweds, why not steal a quiet moment and enjoy a private tour of the farm, complete with a lemur experience? It’s a perfect way to slow down and soak up the joy (and maybe feed a lemur or two). Trust us it’s a wedding memory no one else will have!

Tables with a Twist: Animal-Themed Decor

Forget numbers, name your tables after your favourite animals and animals you can find on the farm.

Think Wolves and Polar bears.

And for the finishing touch? Adorable animal-shaped place card holders! Little brass horses, wooden owls, or even mini anteaters can guide your guests to their seats in style and double as keepsakes.

Pets on the Cake? Why Not!

Want to sneak your pets into the celebration in the sweetest way possible? Have miniature versions of your dog, cat, rabbit even a beloved parrot handcrafted onto your wedding cake. Whether perched on the top tier or peeking out from behind sugar flowers, these edible tributes are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser (and very Instagrammable).
