Hi all,
Going to a christening today.
I'm wearing a black/white polka wrap dress and black ballet pumps (flats as 7 months preg and can't walk in heels).
I brought a black mini stachel from accessorize thinking it would look ok but looks like I'm off to the office so my choices are a black patent clutch -looks ok but outfit is all black and clutch keeping hold of toddler not practical or I have a little bright yellow mini stachel which I think looks good with outfit but worried maybe too casual for christening?
What do you think?
Thanks!

Yellow satchel

Yellow satchel.

Christening are Sunday best not full-on occasion dress-up.

Yellow.

I don't think clothes and accessories are as important at christenings as they are at weddings. As a church goer I have witnessed many christenings and the christening party always look far more dressed up than the congregation.
Just take whichever bag you want to. No-one is going to judge you.

It's a christening. Not a wedding

Agree with bunny. Overdressed christening attendees stand out as SO unused to church.

Thanks all :) I'm sorted then.
I'd told DH to wear his suit with bright tie now thinking that's too overdressed or is that ok?

And while I've got your help- I'm wearing same outfit to wedding in 2 weeks- register office wedding with relaxed reception (no top table, speeches etc).
Can I wear the black flats again and just get a bright dressy clutch or do I need coloured different shoes too?

Suit and tie for Christening is perfect.

If you are pregnant stick with the flats and be comfy - weddings involve lots of standing around.

Wishful80smontage · 20/09/2015 10:24

Dh now thinking shirt and trousers better? Is this ok
