The christening gown gets all the attention. But it's the accessories that turn a pretty outfit into a complete, considered look.
The Headband
For christenings, go delicate. A tiny petite bow in ivory or blush adds just enough detail without competing with the gown. Flower headbands in white or cream are another beautiful option — they photograph like a soft crown.
The Shoes
Whether your baby is walking or not, a gorgeous pair of soft-sole leather shoes completes the look. They'll sit beautifully in photos and feel comfortable for the duration of the ceremony. Our sandals in lighter colours pair well with white and cream gowns.
The Comforter
Christenings can be long and unfamiliar. A cotton comforter in ivory or chalk keeps baby calm and gives them something familiar to hold. Choose one of our bunny or lion comforters — they'll look gorgeous in the professional photos too.
The Practical Layer
Pack a feeding smock for the post-ceremony lunch. Nothing ruins a white christening gown faster than pumpkin soup.
Photography Tips
Ask your photographer to capture detail shots of the accessories — the tiny shoes, the headband, the comforter held in small hands. These become cherished images. Bonus: they make beautiful christening album pages.
