Wedding Outfits For Children

November 7th, 2008 by Karen White

Daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, godchildren – the chances are your wedding guest list will include a few little people. The high street has plenty of cute and wedding appropriate clothing for little girls and boys as well as babies. Unlike with adult clothes, fitting is not normally an issue so you can buy with confidence!

Having said that, what are the chances of all the mum’s heading to Marks and Spencer’s and Next for the same kind of wedding outfits for their tots? Probably quite likely. So here’s a list of some more unusual places to look for the right outfit for your child.

French catalogue Vertbaudet have a large selection of children’s occasion wear that looks clean and fresh, ready for accessorizing with bows and ribbons. Sets start from around £16 and go up in price according to age. La Redoute, another French catalogue also has a selection of formal wear for boys and girls – the emphasis again is on a clean, elegant look. Both catalogues have very reasonable prices, so it’s worth a look if you are on a budget or have lots of kids to dress.

If you prefer something more formal and grand, check out Little Eglatine (also the work of a French designer, Setphanie Strub). The clothes are formal without being pompous or over done and there are interesting sets for boys, that include a shiny, cummerbund and silk shorts. Prices are reasonable; around £70-100 for an outfit (age dependent).

Another online store worth checking out is Little Gems Boutique. A full 4 piece boy’s suit (a shirt, tie, waistcoat and trousers) can be bought for £29.99 and formal silk dresses retail for around £51. There is a nice varied selection of gowns not to mention accessories.

Remember, comfort is very important to children, and make sure that it’s functional too – if your child is still in nappies then you need to be able to get it! There’s usually no need to spend a huge amount of money; children will spill food and they will roll on the floor and grass if given the opportunity! Remember to keep your children warm too with a cardigan, shawl or jacket and don’t forget to take a comfortable outfit for the journey home.
