How to Dress Your Little One for a Wedding

Weddings are a time of supreme happiness and celebration. The fun and frolic around a wedding is almost infectious, and what makes it even more joyful is watching kids have a gala time! Adorable little children running about in uber- cute outfits, looking so proper yet so completely innocent. You just can’t get enough of how dapper your son looks in his tux or the way your little girl struts around in that flowy pink dress. Here are a few super simple tips to dress your kid’s in the most delightful way possible for a wedding:

 

Experiment:

While adults often like to play things safe with their attires, you don’t have to extend the same practice to your children. The vibrance synonymous with childhood can easily reflect into colourful dresses for your baby girl, and more than that you can move away from plain blacks and greys for your son. No need to dismiss pink when buying a shirt for your little boy, in fact a pastel or powder pink shirt looks oh so smart when worn under an off white suit. A trend I love to try on my little ones is traditional Indian wear. Indian party wear dresses for kids look so adorable, and have become increasingly versatile.

Accessorize:

Accessories complete an outfit, and look so wonderful on children, since it shows great attention to detail. When purchasing ethnic wear for kids, don’t forget to buy a stack of colourful and glittery bangles in plastic for your girl along with hair accessories; clips, hair beads and bands. For boys, you can use bow ties or pocket squares for that crisp finesse to their outfit.

The foot story:

I envy children because they get to wear the most adorable and bold shoes, and they do it with so much sass, it almost hard to believe that they are in fact kids! For short dresses, platform heels or boots are not only comfortable; they also add a fun element to the attire. For boys, i suggest loafers or boat shoes in faux leather.

How to Wisely Shop For Your Child

I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that we want to provide the very best for our little ones, because that’s exactly what they deserve.  We do our best to make our little munchkins look adorable as ever in their little frocks and their teeny tiny shirts. But style is only a second to your child’s comfort. You want your pumpkin to look not only cute, but also extremely happy in whatever they adorn. Here are a few basic things to look for when browsing through kids clothing stores.

•Fabric/Material : For summers, stick to fabrics that can breathe, cottons all the way,especially when purchasing dresses or gowns for girls. Stay away from anything that is too synthetic, for your kid can develop rashes in the scorching heat. Kids are born to run about and get really rough when they play, so it’s better to opt for stretchable pants, since they won’t tear apart so easily.
For winters you need to layer up, of course, but do keep in mind that the fabrics aren’t too coarse, soft woolens should always top your list.

•Nagging Tags:
If those sketchy little tags attached to everything that you wear annoy you, imagine how irritating they can be for your kids, who have the softest skin. Since you can’t dismiss a piece of clothing just because of its tag, it advisable to have it neatly removed later on.

•Consult your child:
Little as they may be, kids know when they are uncomfortable in something. Ask the child for their opinion on the dress. A lot of stores have trial rooms, you can have your kid try on a few options and ask them to choose the ones they like. This is a very good way to instill some decision making freedom early on in your little one.

Pretty clothes aren’t wearable if your child doesn’t feel their best in them. A happy child will be able to focus on their fun activities easily if they feel snug in what they wear, so don’t forgo the comfort factor at any cost!
