It’s a big day for your precious little one. She’ll be on display for everyone to adore. You’ve found something adorable for her to wear, and added all the accessories. She is going to look fabulous!
…Now what about you? You’ll be in the limelight all day long. Standing in the ceremony, posing for pictures and entertaining all your guests. So, don’t forget to plan your outfit as well! Here are some suggestions for a mom’s Christening Day look:
{For our Royal Christening Gown photo shoot, we chose a classy, simple dress from Shabby Apple and a practical satchel diaper bag from Petunia Picklebottom.}
Keep it simple… Today, your role is a supportive one. You’ve picked out an adorable outfit for your little one, and they’re going to be stunning! That adorable little one is what you want everyone to focus on. So you’ll want to make sure your outfit doesn’t steal the show. Go for a simple print or a solid in a neutral color.
Keep it classy… This is a day that will be looked back on for years and years. And, as everyone knows, fads fade. Choosing something classy will help your photos seem more timeless.
Be comfortable… It’ll be a long day for you and your little. Make sure to dress for comfort and be weather smart. If it’s a spring event, bring a cardigan. Choose an outfit that’s made from light-weight, breathable material in the summer. You’ll be happier and a more pleasant host.
Be practical… Don’t forget that you’re a mom! Your blouse will be tugged on. Wear something with a modest, structured neckline. Your shoulder may get spit up on. Choose a fabric that can be washed easily. You’ll have to bend often, hold her on your hip and chase her down the hall. Go with something that you can move in. …And you may have to skip the gorgeous six inch heels.
