How to Dress Your Dog for Indian Weddings – 15 Buttons Style


Let’s be honest—Indian weddings aren’t just weddings. They’re multi-day festivals. They’re color explosions. They’re musical marathons. They’re where fashion gets louder, sparkle gets brighter, and the food... well, don’t even get us started. So when it comes to dressing up for the big fat Indian wedding, why should your dog be left out?

At 15 Buttons, we’re rewriting the pet fashion rulebook—one sherwani, lehenga, and tiny floral safa at a time. Your furry friend isn’t just a guest; they’re part of the family. And whether they’re posing for selfies, escorting the bride down the aisle, or stealing snacks under the buffet table, they deserve to do it in style.

So, if you’re wondering how to dress your pup for the wedding season without compromising on comfort, tradition, or cuteness, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in!

Why Dress Your Dog for a Wedding?

Think of it this way—would you show up to a haldi in jeans? Exactly.

Dressing your dog for an Indian wedding isn’t just adorable—it’s symbolic. Our pets are integral to our lives, and in many homes, they’re treated like children. Including them in our celebrations is only natural. It makes memories more meaningful. Plus, imagine looking back at your wedding album and seeing your dog in a matching kurta beside you. Instant serotonin.

Oh, and also—dressed-up dogs are major crowd-pleasers. Expect your pup to steal the spotlight. Often.

Step One: Understanding the Wedding Vibe

Indian weddings come with themes, rituals, and dress codes. From the mehendi to the sangeet, each function has its own mood and color palette.

Here’s how to plan your doggo’s looks:

  • Haldi Ceremony: Think yellow! Light, breathable cotton kurtas in shades of mustard, lemon, or sunflower. Maybe even a matching dupatta tied like a bandana.

  • Mehendi or Pool Party: Time to get playful. Lightweight shirts in floral prints, bright co-ord sets, or ethnic-inspired tees work well. Bonus points for a breezy, tropical vibe.

  • Sangeet Night: This is showtime. A glittery sherwani or a sequinned lehenga-choli with dandiya-friendly mobility (yes, we said it). Let them sparkle.

  • Wedding Ceremony: Traditional, elegant, and regal. Think silk textures, gold detailing, and tailored fits. Sherwanis, bandhgalas, or embroidered angarakhas are spot-on.

  • Reception: Keep it suave. Monochromes, pastels, and satin finishes make your pet look like a true gentleman or gentlelady.

Choosing the Right Outfit from 15 Buttons

We’re all about blending fashion with function. Here’s what you should look for when selecting your dog’s outfit from our collection:

1. Comfort Is King (or Queen)

Weddings can get overwhelming—crowds, lights, music, loud dhols. The last thing your dog needs is a scratchy, stiff sherwani that makes them miserable. Our outfits at 15 Buttons are made from soft cotton blends, lightweight silks, and non-irritating inner linings. No chafing. No drama.

Our design mantra? “If we wouldn’t wear it, our dogs shouldn’t either.”

2. Tailored Fit

Let’s not squeeze a husky into a poodle’s outfit. Use our 15 Buttons pet sizing guide to find the perfect fit based on breed, chest, and neck measurements. A well-fitted outfit not only looks sharper but also allows your pet to move, sit, jump, and (importantly) nap with ease.

3. Secure but Simple Closures

We skip complicated buttons or hooks. Instead, our designs use velcro, snaps, or ties that keep the outfit secure without bothering your pup. Easy to put on. Easier to take off after a long day of greeting aunties.

Accessories That Slay (Safely)

Now that the outfit’s sorted, let’s talk details. Accessories can elevate the whole look—but only if they’re safe and comfy.

  • Dog Safas or Pagdis: For the baraat star. Soft, mini turbans with elastic that won’t tug on their head.

  • Brooches and Necklaces: Add a traditional touch with lightweight bling. We recommend clip-ons or velcro ties, not chokers.

  • Lehengas with Dori Ties: For the fashionista fur-babies who love a flare. Ensure the waist is snug but not tight.

  • Embroidered Bandanas: For low-maintenance pets or hot weather—ethnic prints, mirror work, and kantha stitching add subtle charm.

Pro Tip: Let your dog try everything before the big day. A mini rehearsal will tell you what they’re comfortable in.

Don’t Forget Practicalities

We love style, but we’re also big on sensibility. Here's what to keep in mind:

  • Avoid Overheating: If it’s an outdoor summer wedding, choose breathable fabrics. No velvet in May, please.

  • Keep a Backup: Accidents happen (ask any dog parent). Always carry a second outfit or an easy-on ethnic tee.

  • Hydration & Breaks: Weddings can be long. Make sure your pet has a quiet corner to chill, enough water, and someone keeping an eye on them.

Also...avoid sequins around the belly area (they itch). And make sure outfits don’t cover private parts—they’ll need bathroom breaks, after all.

Make It a Family Affair

One of the cutest trends we’re seeing? Matching pet-parent outfits. At 15 Buttons, we offer coordinated collections where you and your furry one can twin like a royal pair. Dad in a cream sherwani, dog in a matching angarakha. Mom in a floral lehenga, pup in a mirror-work cape. Trust us—people will stop and ask for pictures.

Also, imagine the Instagram reel opportunities. Music, transitions, spinning in slow motion—don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just Dressing Up. It’s Celebration.

Dressing your dog for an Indian wedding isn’t about turning them into a spectacle. It’s about inclusion. It’s about acknowledging that they’re more than pets—they’re part of your real, messy, joyful family. They should be seen, celebrated, and yes, styled accordingly.

At 15 Buttons, every stitch is sewn with love for dogs who mean the world to their humans. We don’t just sell petwear—we help you create moments, memories, and magic (plus, some seriously stylish content).

So go ahead. Let your pup strut their stuff at the shaadi. After all, if humans can spend hours planning their outfits for every function, your dog deserves at least a sherwani and a matching smile.
