We’ve done some browsing for you and reckon these kids’ outfits are the ones that’ll win come the big day. Now just to get them to stand still for the family photo…

 


1. Dress code

Carrement Beau Gold Sleeveless Ceremony Dress

 

Champagne is often in order at weddings but in no way is this more useful than in kids’ clothes, where white and cream are distinct disaster territory but champagne is the user-friendly alternative. Cheers to that.


Carrement Beau, Gold Sleeveless Ceremony Dress, £95

 


2. Suits you

Howick Junior Tuxedo Jacket

 

For full mini-me style, it doesn’t get more matchy-matchy than a suit. This one will look adorable and the black shouts sophistication. Add a cute tie and he’ll feel part of the gang of ushers.


Howick Junior, Tuxedo Jacket, £42

 


3. Totally tropical

Catimini Girls Dress

 

Universally acknowledged to be summer’s most summery pattern, the tropical print is a no-brainer for weddings. Cute and super comfy, this Catimini dress is a wedding guest dream.

4. In short

Emporio Armani Chino Shorts

 

Shorts to a wedding may seem an unorthodox choice but chino ones like this can look super smart. Pair with a blazer and an Oxford shirt or polo and he’ll look utterly adorable – and stay cool which is often a worry.

5. Over the top

Absorba Baby Girls' Silver Cardigan

 

Marquees, cavernous churches and late parties mean layers are required. Glistening silver works with a myriad of colours underneath and has great cost-per-wear as she can wear it long after the wedding.

6. Check mate

Hackett Long Sleeved Gingham Shirt

 

In a delectably summery hue, this shirt makes the perfect occasion piece. Team with navy chinos and brown shoes for a classic look made modern by the addition of one contrasting button. It’s all in the detail…
