Christening dress for boys and girls: how to choose it well
What should you pay attention to when choosing a christening dress? You should also consider the age of the children, the season and family traditions
Your baby boy or girl's first social occasion is approaching: we are talking about baptism, the moment in which newborns receive the first sacrament. An important ceremony, usually followed by a party in which the protagonist is the baby. For this reason, it is essential to think in advance about the baptismal clothes for him and for her.
But how to choose the right dress for the baptism ? Let's discover trends and fashions to understand what is the best choice to make based on your needs.
Christening dress: how to choose it
How to dress a newborn for a baptism ? The age of the child, the season and family traditions are all things to keep in mind. Do you have a traditional family dress, perhaps embroidered by the grandmother and passed down through several generations, and want to use it as a dress for the baptism ? Excellent choice. Do not have any traditional dress to use, but are simply looking for some inspiration? No fear. In both cases, however, it is also necessary to take into account the season in which the ceremony will take place.
Usually, the spring and summer months are preferred, from April to September: the climate is milder, if you opt for an outdoor party there is a greater chance that the day will be clear and the children can enjoy the first rays of the sun.
Consequently, the dress for your baby 's baptism should not be too heavy. It is better to choose fresh and breathable fabrics, cotton or linen, perhaps light in color and therefore suitable for the season, which allow the little ones not to sweat and not to feel constrained by the clothes.
Another thing to keep in mind is the age of the baby boy or girl who will receive the sacrament. If the baby is very small, the mother might prefer a babygrow as a baptism dress , so that she can change the baby more easily.
In this case you can choose a particularly elegant onesie, perhaps with a small tie on the front for boys and a flower or a bow for girls. Don't forget, especially if the baby is small, a cap or hat to protect him, to coordinate with the outfit.
How do children dress for baptism?
Have you chosen to baptize your baby in early spring, but the idea of a onesie doesn't convince you? Don't worry. For a baby boy 's baptism outfit , you can choose a white outfit consisting of a jacket, pants, a vest, and a long-sleeved shirt . But, as always, it's the details that make the clothes (and therefore also the baptism clothes ) unique: in this case, the stripes.
This white suit also includes a beige striped vest that features the same pattern as the bow tie, the details of the jacket and even the… pocket square! All this makes it a classic, elegant outfit, perfect as a baptism outfit for a baby boy .
Do you prefer an alternative for the warmer months? Here is a fun light blue christening outfit consisting of a white capri pants with braces, a roll-up long-sleeved shirt and a vest with a light blue checked pattern, the same as the bow tie and the details on the shirt sleeves. This is also a cute christening outfit , which is memorable for its elegance and style, very suitable for a baby boy.
