For Caisha and Ryan, their Chihuahuas are more than pets; they're family. With a pack of ten, including one in heaven, these little dogs hold a special place in their hearts and lives. As their wedding approached, Caisha knew she wanted her beloved Chihuahuas to be part of the big day, even if they couldn't be there in person.
Caisha reached out to Dani at Pawfect Love with a heartfelt request. She wanted mismatched personalised cufflinks for Ryan and pendant charms for her bridal bouquet, each featuring one of their Chihuahuas. Despite the challenge and short turnaround time, Dani was more than willing to help make this vision a reality.
Initially, Caisha thought about having eight custom pet bouquet charms, but soon realized she couldn't bear to leave any of her Chihuahuas out. She decided all ten should be included in her bouquet, and asked for Dani’s advice on how best to arrange them. They settled on five pairs of charms, each featuring two Chihuahuas, to create a balanced and meaningful bouquet decoration.
For the cufflinks, Caisha knew exactly which Chihuahuas Ryan would choose: Estèe and Unique. She provided Dani with photos and descriptions of each Chihuahua for the bouquet charms also, highlighting their unique personalities and traits. Chanel, the eldest at 14, Hugo, now in heaven, Estèe, the pocket rocket, Yves, the firecracker who underwent a costly surgery, Brut, the barker, Arden, the goofy one, Paco, the strong yet cuddly one, Coach, the smooch, Unique, the premature miracle, and Armani, the toy-loving kisser.
Dani got to work, crafting each charm and cufflink with meticulous attention to detail. When Caisha received the pictures of the finished pieces, she was overjoyed. Dani had captured every nuance, including Hugo’s crumply ears, perfectly. The charms and cufflinks were exactly what Caisha had envisioned.
On their wedding day, Caisha proudly attached the charms to her bouquet, each one a tribute to her Chihuahua pack. Ryan’s cufflinks, featuring Estèe and Unique, added a personal and emotional touch to his wedding attire. The couple’s love for their Chihuahuas was evident, and these special accessories made their big day even more meaningful.
The wedding was beautifully captured by Rick Liston & Co, with photographer Matt ensuring every detail, including the charms and cufflinks, was documented. Caisha later shared photos with Dani, expressing her immense happiness and gratitude. She praised Dani not only for her exceptional craftsmanship but also for her kindness and approachability throughout the process.
Reflecting on her experience, Caisha said, "I am beyond happy! Dani nailed it. I LOVE them!! And I can’t wait to have them next to me on my big day & I know Ryan will LOVE his cufflinks too! Thank you for being so approachable and a pure joy to communicate with. You made our day extra special."
For Caisha and Ryan, the day was perfect, with their Chihuahua pack symbolically present, thanks to Pawfect Love. The charms and cufflinks were more than just accessories; they were heartfelt reminders of the love and companionship that their Chihuahuas brought into their lives.
