Which outfits for a baby girl's baptism?
For a baby baptism outfit, an occasion dress for little girls is without a doubt the most popular piece because it dresses the child head to toe in seconds. Traditionally, the baptism dress must be immaculate, and as the colour is pre-chosen, it's the details which really make the difference on the day. Whether you choose light tulle, decorative flounces, embroidery or even lace, the simplest dresses sometimes sport subtle trinkets to add a discrete charm to the outfit. To keep the child warm during winter, it's common for the dress to be paired with a cardigan to transform the outifit into something trendy, modern and unforgettable. The options are endless! Emboidery, scalopped edges, with pompoms, patterned or plain, you can have whatever you desire for the big day. Even in summer, when you might prefer to dress them in something lighter, a light cardigan will keep them warm for those cool drafts through the church.
A child's oufit is never finished until it has the perfect shoes and accessories to go with it. For baby girls, a small light hat or a plain or printed elastic headband will give an adorable and unique touch. For their little feet, the choice is varied! Open sandals for the height of summer, sneakers for comfort, or baby Gucci shoes, which never go out of style. Finally, if the sun comes out to play, don't forget a lovely pair of sunglasses to complete their outfit.
Which occasion outfit for a baby boy?
The boy's baptism outfit which never goes out of style is undoubtedly a suit. Practical, elegant and often matching, it offers, speed, simplicity and comfort on the move. For the top, opt for a fitted suit jacket and a lovely, soft shirt, and for the bottom, either trousers or suit shorts are great depending on the weather and style. You can even add a suit vest to add a refined touch to an elegant look. Over a plain shirt, add one more detail to catch everyones eye: a patterned bow-tie. Striped or printed, it will add an air of charm to any classic outfit. Finally, don't forget a little knitted cardigan to keep the baby warm on the big day.
In terms of accessories, just like litle girls, little boys should be kitted out in the best sandals and sneakers to complete their look for the occasion. Whether they're attempting their first steps or still wriggling around, our pieces are sure to brighten all their evenings. A boy's christening outfit includes a few items, but put together, they make a classy, chic and elegant outfit that is sure to leave a lasting impression. As for a girl's christening dress, the options are endless, but many parents opt to keep things simple as a plain dress follows tradition and represents the importance of the occasion.
Which baby outfit for a wedding?
After looking at potential baptism outfits, we can't forget about wedding looks too! A wedding outfit is very different to a baptism outfit. For example, if your child is a bridesmaid or page boy, they can stay in tune with the formality of the event, while keeping to the theme set by the bride and groom. But if the parents are free to choose, it's not essential that they are dressed in classic occassionwear. For a baby dress, the pieces on Melijoe offer a set of prints, colors and patterns that can be just right for a wedding and catch the eye of every guest. From Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and even Tartine et Chocolat, embrace dresses with floral patterns and lace detailing. Or stay with the theme of love, with a pretty red dress, which may be uncommon but is sure to make everyone smile! For a baby princess dress, our tulle dresses are perfect for bringing a bit of fairy magic to the day.
In terms of dressing the boys, stay simple and timeless. Suits and matching looks are always the best option to go for when dressing a baby boy. The simplicity of a single color like navy blue, white or gray offer the "perfect match" for a successful look. You can have some fun with a little bow tie, to give a bit of color and originality to the baby look. Now you have the key to unlocking the perfect look for any occasion.
