Wedding Gowns

Converting the wedding dress into a christening gown

A bridal gown is wearing a deeper meaning than being the symbol for a bride. It is in fact the passing from a stage to another, to a new chapter in life, the wedded one. Needles to mention more, this dress carries a woman’s dreams and hopes, a woman’s emotional part in life. And moreover, in many families there is the tradition of preserving it and leave it from generation to generation, like a family bond. This is more than a dress, but a precious valuated bridal gown.




But after the big event and until the next generation to wear this dress its journey ends for a while, hidden in the closet, in a box. And there is no need to mention that selling it would be a totally inappropriate action. But when a baby appears in your family it seems that you have found an aim for it: converting the wedding dress into a christening gown.

The moment of christening your baby is as well important in your life. You give him God’s bless. And the outfit, well this must be an imposing one. Tradition says that in this day the baby has to wear something purely white, as a symbol for innocent and pure soul. Exactly like in case of a bride, the white outfit is necessary.

Converting the wedding dress into a christening gown makes the bond between the mother and its baby deeper. It is the union, as the mother gives birth to it and as well shares everything in her life for it. This is the main reason why most of the women choose to modify their bridal gowns for the outfit of their babies. No need to think about the fact that the baby is a boy- the same outfit is appropriate for them as well as for girls.

It all starts with a style and design chosen. If it is to take into consideration the common type of baby christening dress than you choose the long dress, with a fur cap. Simple and easy, but you want more. For a boy, well things are clear that some ribbons are useless. But for a little girl you can add so many things. For example, the skirt can have above part of material out of silk to make it so precious like the baby itself, out of lace to add a diaphanous aspect.

If it is to think rationally the dress for your baby in this day is in fact a simple one. But because you choose to make this out of your wedding bridal gown things change. And as you cut it better to use as much as possible from it. By this I mean that you have to put your imagination and aesthetically sense to contribution and create a beautiful dress, using lots of details and create a fancy style.

With no regrets later, a freshly mother let’s say will be totally pleased about this. A dress that was for her the dreaming one is now her fulfillment symbol.
