Handmade christening gowns are often the top choice for proud parents on their baby’s big day. By choosing your own bespoke design, you can focus on the details that matter to you and ensure that everything is just right. You can co-ordinate the gown with the whole event, selecting an overall colour scheme and planning everything accordingly.

If you choose to have a christening gown made for your baby or toddler, you can contact plenty of people who will be able to help. They will be able to talk through the kinds of things you want and give you plenty of options. If you need some inspiration, ask them to show you some of their previous designs so that you can come away with a few different ideas.

Of course, many celebrities who choose to get their babies christened select bespoke, handmade outfits. The idea has recently been endorsed by Michelle Keegan, who attended her niece’s christening and described the beautiful personalised gown she wore. The gown was made from the baby’s mother’s wedding dress, giving it that extra sentimental touch on the day.
