I know it's probably naff, but I love fancy dress and at the moment post-baby I'm far too fat to contemplate it!

I've got my 4 month-old baby a lovely dress, headband and shoes for an upcoming wedding, which makes her look like a little fairy. Is it wrong to go the whole hog and get her some beautiful (far too pricey) wings and then do a photo shoot?!

(Caveat - she is my PFB, so it's still all new and exciting!) Grin

The fairywings look beautiful and IMO will go very well with the outfit.

Outfit is beautiful. The wings would finish it off a treat

You know all those threads on here about children of wedding guests who turn up in bridesmaids dresses?

I can't wait to see the thread from the frothing bridezilla about about the guest who brought her baby in a fairy outfit Grin

If I had a fairy at my wedding I'd be thrilled. Unless I already had 12 fairies and yours was the 13th...... Hmm Grin

It's worth checking with the photograpaher that they haven't got some in their props box before you buy them :)

I wouldn't pick those ones for a little baby. However photoshoot with wings are a lovely idea. My cousins baby had one when she was about 4 months lying on her tummy with fairy wings on and it's a gorgeous pic.

Ha seventhchild - it's okay, it's my brother's wedding and they've only got adult bridesmaids, so no duplication... They've also seen and approved her outfit! And I would resist the urge to add the wings on that particular day! :)

She's beautiful! She looks gorgeous in the outfit :)

Oh, your baby looks beautiful. Envy Mine still looked like wrinkled newborns at four months Hmm

Lovely dress and headband. The original wings remind me of a fish with tail rot - I'd look for some alternatives.

Aww - thanks guys! Smile She's our little PFB, so it's all still new and exciting!
