which do you like?? Christening gowns

HI All,

We have narrowed down our Christening Gown choices to these two, we do have one in particular that we like that we will probably go with but I wanted to see what everyone else thought.

We have decided to buy one gown to become an "Heirloom" as the current "Heirloom" gown belongs to my SIL and its not quite my taste.

Don't worry about the bonnets in the pictures as we probably will not use them as I think its more of an American thing but considering I have never been to a Christening I have no idea :rolleyes: I hope the links work I am not so savvy when it comes to this :rolleyes:

Thanks

do you want it as a heirloom you coudl use for either sex ??? if thats the case neither

but if for girls I love the scarlett one :)

Oh they're both soooo gorgeous!! If I had to pick I'd go for the Flora one, I love the detail on it.

Flora gets my vote. It's stunning!

If you're going to make it an heirloom perhaps you should have something more gender neutral though.

id go with the flora one too hun!!

I love the flora one too, but agree it might not be so suitable for a future boy to wear

flora also :) its gorgeous!

If we had a boy then we'd get a separate on for him (unlikely though) It would be a girls hand me down if that makes sense ;) I need a poll :D

Second one, but they are both lovely!

i would probably lean towards Flora - but both are gorgeous!

oh what a hard choice! ummmmmmm hold on, ill look again...

I like the Flora one, but just a little more than the other one :)

flora! gorgeous!

Flora is my fav but both gorgeous

They are both gorgeous but I love the floral one.

:bump:

The Flora is such a pretty design but if I am voting from a traditionalist pov then I would have to say Scarlett as I prefer all white. If only you could get the Flora in pure white then that would be my pick!:D

For what it's worth all 3 of my babies wore bonnets to their christenings and I have been to a lot of christenings where the babies (especially if young) where bonnets.

wow there both gorgeous..

but ill have to go with Flora :)

floral one. they are both gorgeous. xox

i LOVE the scarlett one. very classic and very pretty...

but TBH they are both beautiful, it's just that if i were in the store choosing between the two i would lean towards the scarlett!

Thank you everyone, its ordered and officially on its way and we went with ...........















FLORA :dance:




We decided on something a "little different" even though all white is more traditional there is not very much traditional about our choice in godparents :lol: we have a Budist, Catholic with Pagan beliefs, an Anglican and a Born Again Christian :o They are all great friends and while they all have different beliefs essentially we feel the lessons they can and will teach Shae (we are hoping) will open her eyes and choose a path she feels most comfortable to walk down.

Now,

All we need to do is set a date :rolleyes:
