Bridesmaids Carry “Puppy Bouquets” To Raise Awareness For Shelter Dogs

An Iowa bride had an adorably interesting alternative to flower bouquets on her wedding day.

Instead of bunches of roses, Sammy Duckert had her bridesmaids carry rescue puppies down the aisle. Photos of the bridal party cradling the tiny creatures were shared more than 400 times on Facebook, prompting many social media users to consider opting for “puppy bouquets” on their special day.

The images were posted on AHeinz57 Pet Rescue and Transport’s Facebook page. The Iowa-based animal welfare organization said Duckert wanted to shed light on shelter dogs and how they are in need of forever homes.

With the virality of the animal shelter’s post, several people were made aware of shelter dogs and the need for adoption.

“That is different,” one comment read. “I hope they find homes!”
