Picture the scene: the ceremony music starts, everyone spins round looking for the arrival of the bridal party, and your pampered pooch starts the procession wearing this sign.

We are all about equality at TTKS, so it pains us that dogs are totally overrepresented in the ‘pets at weddings’ world. Yes, claws and appliqué are a match made in hell, but that doesn’t mean your kitty girl can’t feature in a few photos before you head off in the morning.

They’re a bit of a bargain – why not buy two and get your dog comfortable with wearing his outfit before the big day?
