A christening is a deeply meaningful moment, often one of the first ceremonies to celebrate your child’s life. At Bambi and Bow, we understand that organising a christening can feel overwhelming, especially for new mums. To help you enjoy this special event and feel confident in your choices, we’ve gathered our best tips for planning a christening that’s memorable, personal, and heartfelt.
1. Choosing a Theme or Style
The first step is to envision the overall look and feel of the christening. Some parents prefer a classic, timeless theme with white, ivory, and gold, while others might enjoy a more modern style with soft colours or florals. Whether you’re leaning traditional or contemporary, keep in mind the style of the venue and your family’s personal touch.
2. Selecting Attire and Accessories
Choosing the perfect outfit is one of the most exciting parts! Christening gowns and suits have a rich tradition, often becoming heirlooms that are passed down. For a touch of elegance, look for garments made with delicate fabrics and fine details. At Bambi and Bow, we offer beautifully crafted christening outfits that bring a sense of tradition and charm, along with matching accessories such as delicate shoes, headbands, and bracelets. Don’t forget to select a personalised candle or gift—a keepsake your child will cherish.
3. Creating Personal Touches
Adding personal details can make the day even more special. Consider a custom christening candle, embroidered towel, or a special christening box to hold mementos from the day. These items add depth and meaning, and they’re something your child can look back on with pride. We have a range of options for these personalised keepsakes at Bambi and Bow to make your event truly unique.
