About White & Cream Baby Bows
The one that goes with the gown
White and cream baby bows in snow white, ivory, chalk and crepe, across nylon, knit and lace. This is the christening and newborn photography corner of the range, where the brief is almost always identical: something that finishes an outfit without competing with it, in a shade that photographs clean under any light.
The distinction worth knowing is warmth. True white is crisp and reads bright against skin, while ivory, chalk and crepe carry a little yellow and sit softer. Against a white gown an ivory bow adds dimension where a matching white one can disappear entirely, which is the most common mistake made in the week before a ceremony.
Pair them with the neutral bows for a full capsule, or add petals with the floral headbands for the day itself. The tiny bows come in the same shades for newborn shoots, and the full headbands and bows range has everything else. Australian owned, shipped from Melbourne.
Questions, answered
How do I keep them clean?
Deal with marks on the day rather than later. A damp cloth with a drop of mild detergent on the spot, blotted rather than rubbed, handles most of it. Avoid bleach entirely, which weakens fibres and can leave a white looking faintly grey afterwards. Store them in a box rather than loose in a drawer collecting dust.
Do white bows photograph well indoors?
Very well, provided you pick the right white. Under warm indoor lighting a true white can blow out slightly in a photograph, where ivory and crepe hold their detail. Photographers tend to ask for the softer shades for exactly this reason. Outdoors in natural light, either works beautifully.
Do these suit a flower girl or a christening gift?
Both, and they are among the most common gifts we post. For a flower girl, a lace or crepe bow sits well with almost any dress without needing an exact colour match. As a gift, cream is the safest possible choice, since it suits every nursery and everything the recipient already owns.
