Personalized Name

You’ve chosen the perfect name for your baby. You want everything about your baby’s christening to be just as perfect – including the christening gown. But can you name the most popular styles of christening gowns? Five “insider” tips will bring you one step closer to that perfect occasion.

1. Heirloom Gowns

Today’s christening gown can be tomorrow’s heirloom. To qualify as a heirloom, it must either be an antique gown or must mirror that style. The gown must delight with delicate details such as embroidery, eyelets, and lace.

In order for a gown to survive as a heirloom, it must be made of the highest quality fabric. Natural fibers will survive throughout the years. Cotton and linen can withstand the test of time. Silk will last for a long time. Yet man-made polyester is also known to have a long life.

2. Customized Gowns

Your baby is special and deserves that extra special touch. Couture fashion can offer you customized gowns created just for your baby. Many retailers provide personalized services. Your baby’s name or a symbol of faith (such as crosses) can be embroidered on the gown.

Baptism dresses are available with detachable sashes, bows, and trains. You can choose to add or remove features. There is even an unisex style on the market with removable cummerbund.

3. Irish Gowns

Irish Gowns feature embroidered shamrocks and/or four leaf clovers. Their Celtic appeal extends far beyond Ireland and those of Irish descent. According to legend, St. Patrick used the shamrock to symbolize unity. The leaves of the four-leaf clover represent faith, hope, love, and luck. The symbolism makes this collection a perfect choice for any baby.

The Irish Collection also includes boys’ outfits. A boy’s christening romper can sport Celtic embroidery. A matching nautical style hat may top off the ensemble. Girls’ christening gowns have shamrock lace at the bodice, sleeves, and hem. Satin christening shoes for boys and girls can be embroidered with Celtic crosses.

4. Shantung Gowns

Shantung is created from a weave of silk or synthetic fibers. The resulting fabric may have a “slubbed” (ribbed) texture. It is often referred to as wild spun silk or antique satin. Since shantung will drape so nicely, it is a perfect fabric for a baptism dress.

Shantung looks spectacular when decorated with embroidery, sequin, and bead detail. Little girls can look sweet in a 2 piece shantung fabric yolk dress with hat. Little boys can look smart in a shantung romper with vest.

5. “A Touch Of Color” Gowns

Traditional gowns are pure white – symbolizing purity, joy, and a new life. Touches of color, however, are showing up in modern fashion. Ivory and cream don’t stray very far from tradition. The popular and standard silk, by its nature, is an off-white and not bright white.

In the modern style, you can use colors which have symbolism for your faith. A pale blue sash often adorns Communion dresses. Similarly, a soft blue ribbon, with lace on both sides, can fall softly down the front of a baptism dress.

A delicate pink carnation with long streamers can fall from the waist. Soft pink braid can be used at the waist, hem, or sleeves. For those who really dare to be different, beautiful blue and blush pink christening dresses are now a colorful possibility.

When choosing a christening gown, you have to decide which style best suits your needs. Consider the type of ceremony and the symbolism you want to reflect in the celebration. Celebrate your baby’s christening, a new beginning, and the perfect occasion!
