This is one for all you Mummy's out there. And it's been a long time coming. Sorry about that.
I don't know why it is that little boys and page boys are so often overlooked when it comes to style advice on wedding blogs? I guess we are all so used to looking at the cute and pretty associated with bright and colourful little girls clothes? Whatever the reason, I do hope that all you Mum's of gorgeous young boys due to attend a wedding find this blog post helpful.
I adore little vintage style clothes for children, so have done my best to research clothing that fits that description, or is a little bit more relaxed in style – but not twee or over fussy.
