Get inspired to throw a beautiful baby shower

If you’re planning your baby shower and are after a little inspiration, then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve collected some fantastic blog posts and Pinterest boards from around the web to give you a few ideas to get you started. And we also have some beautiful maternity dresses in pink, blue and every colour in between!

To Decorate

Once you’ve decided on a theme or colour scheme, your baby shower décor is where you can really get creative! You’ll want to dress your table and decorate the rest of the party space to match, tying it all into your theme – and there is so much more to it these days that pink for a girl or blue for a boy. You could go for balloons, flowers, bunting, a combination of the three, or something completely different! The world really is your oyster.

Check out our Baby Shower Pinterest Board for some fabulous ideas and inspiration.

To Do

Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean that you have to keep your feet up and twiddle your thumbs at your baby shower. It’s a great idea to have plenty of activities and games lined up to keep you and your guests busy! We love the idea of getting guests to create something together that you can keep and display in baby’s room – maybe an artwork, a book of advice (for new parents or for baby), or even a patchwork quilt (you can get a crafty friend or family member to stitch it together afterwards)!

We love these great tips and ideas from Oregon Mommy Blogger Lauren Hartmann at Babble.com.

To Eat

You’re eating for two right now (and of course your guests need to eat too), so your baby shower food should be an important part of your planning, but it can also be a really fun part! Buffet style finger food is a great option, and if you have the time, you can get really creative with how you present it! We love the idea of finger sandwiches and a fruit salad buffet.

But of course it doesn’t all have to be so virtuously healthy – we’ve found a delicious Pinterest board entirely dedicated to baby shower cupcakes! YUM!

To Drink

Your baby shower is all about you and your little one, so we recommend making it a booze-free zone. But this doesn’t mean that you all have to stick to diet coke! How about coming up with some fruity mocktails – make them really colourful and decorate with real fruit and those teeny umbrellas and your guest’s won’t even notice that they’re alcohol free! Or you could try this recipe from wholefoods blogger The Scrumptious Pumpkin and make up a big punch bowl full of delicious peach mango white iced tea.

To Give

Baby shower favours are a lovely way to say thank you to your guests for coming, and to give them a little keep sake of the day to take away with them. You could buy your favours, or with a little inspiration it’s easy to create something simple, stylish and homemade. We love popcorn based favours playing on the phrase ‘ready to pop’, or what about giving out little pots of nail varnish – pink for a girl, blue for a boy, or different colours for each guest if it’s going to be a surprise!

In need of a little more inspiration? Here’s a Pinterest board all about it!

To Wear

And last but not by any means least, you’ll want to find the perfect maternity dress to wear to your baby shower! Check out our latest spring maternity styles in the ‘New In’ section of our website. We think it’s a really cute idea for your maternity dress to match your baby – pink for a girl and blue for a boy, or if you’re keeping it as a surprise, you could dress in a gender neutral colour or pattern to keep them guessing! Here at Seraphine Maternity we have a gorgeous collection of maternity dresses in a beautiful array of colours and patterns, and they’re all designed to flatter your changing curves to help you to feel fabulous on your special day!

Seraphine’s Top Five Tips for Fierce Maternity Work Wear

As a working woman, you will have mastered the art of business dressing. You look sharp in a suit, and your don’t-mess-with-me power dresses never fail to make a good impression. You may have a carefully cultivated capsule wardrobe full of colour coordinated pieces to mix, match and accessorise, but when your body is about to embark on the crazy nine month journey that is pregnancy, it may be a good idea to sit down and have a wardrobe re-think.

But don’t be put off! The good news is that whether you’re pregnant or not, the rules of fashion are essentially the same, with just a few minor adjustments to flatter your changing shape.

Here is a list of the top 5 most important things to know about dressing your bump for the office:

1) The Suit

Invest in a good quality maternity suit at the beginning of your pregnancy, and it will see you stylishly through your full nine months.

When shopping for a maternity blazer it’s a good idea to keep certain things in mind. Firstly, look for stretch fabrics such as jersey or soft Ponte di Roma – this is a piece that ought to flatter your figure throughout pregnancy, so it needs to be able to grow with you. Secondly, the cut should be tailored in towards your empire line, which, as your pregnancy progresses, will become your new natural waist.

When it comes to skirts and trousers, the most important consideration to make, is whether you want them to fit over or under your bump as it grows. There is no right or wrong answer here; it’s all about what feels most comfortable to you!

2) The Dress

A small collection of flattering maternity dresses in different colours and patterns can go a very long way to transforming your office style during pregnancy. The best way to flatter your changing figure is to choose dresses that focus on the empire line. This will help to define your new shape, allowing plenty of room for your growing curves, and drawing attention to the slimmest part of your body. Flowing A-line dresses will be incredibly comfortable, and don’t be afraid to flaunt your changing curves in a figure hugging bodycon style!

3) The Shirt

When it comes to shirts and blouses, it really is important to get a good fit, and investing in a maternity shirt is one way of guaranteeing this throughout your pregnancy. A good quality maternity shirt will be made in soft stretch cotton that is kind on sensitive skin and will adapt to your changing curves. Yet again, it’s all about the empire line, and it’s a good idea to look for a shirt that is cut long, to ensure that your curves are kept neatly covered at every stage of your pregnancy.

4) The Shoes

During pregnancy, it’s more important than ever to choose shoes that support your feet properly. We know it isn’t easy to hear, but flats really are the way to go if you want to prevent back pain and avoid swollen ankles. ShoeTherapy is a fantastic range of stylish ballet pumps and loafers, which are ergonomically designed to improve your posture and boost your circulation during pregnancy. Not only do they provide all of these fantastic health benefits, but they also look smart and professional, and are unbelievably comfortable to wear – even when you are on your feet all day long. Once you’ve tried these comfortable little ballet flats, you may not want to go back to your heels!

5) The Accessories

The right accessories can make all the difference to your maternity office wear style; lifting your mood and adding an extra fashion edge to any outfit. They will also help you to keep your capsule maternity wardrobe looking fresh. Add a printed scarf around your neck to jazz up a plain maternity dress, or define your shape with a simple empire belt. After your baby is born, a stylish tote changing bag can help you to keep your things and your baby’s bits and pieces organised while you’re out and about.

Work It: 5 Tips for Dressing a Baby Bump at the Office

When you’re expecting, striking the style balance at work can be a tricky business. But here at Seraphine we are here to help! Work your new curves in professional style with our top 5 tips for dressing your bump at the office.

Classic black, white and grey are the staples of a smart professional wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be boring! Nothing says workwear chic like a little black maternity dress; or why not make a fashion statement in a stylish patterned dress. Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud suggests choosing one rich colour to mix with your staple black, and accessorising in the same shade.

When it comes to choosing maternity shirts and blouses for the office, we love a loose and floaty style that drapes comfortably over the bump. Try teaming our Ivory Maternity Blouse with a pair of our Slim Fit Black Maternity Trousers – the loose shirt is designed to fall beautifully over your figure, creating a stylish contrast with the fitted bottoms which slim and lengthen your legs.

You can’t beat a classic maternity wrap dress for pregnancy at the office. These versatile dresses are stylish, comfy, office appropriate, and most importantly, they allow you to adjust the fit to flatter your figure through every stage of pregnancy. Our Black Maternity Wrap Dress is so easy to accessorize – it will be an invaluable addition to your pregnancy wardrobe.

Another fantastic styling feature to look out for when building your maternity workwear wardrobe, is ruching. A classic stretch jersey dress with ruching at the sides is guaranteed to see you stylishly through every trimester. Our Printed Side Ruched Maternity Dress is the perfect style for your spring and summer work wear repertoire (and can easily be glammed up for an evening out too!)

And of course even the most stylish work wear ensemble will be worn in vain without the correct maternity lingerie to underpin the style. A few supportive maternity bras, vest tops, and a good collection of maternity tights and leggings will help to smooth and support your figure, creating a flattering base for all of your office wear outfits.

Dressing my bump – by Fabric Magazine editor – Liz Skone James

Liz Skone James is the editor of luxury London property and lifestyle magazine, Fabric. She is expecting her first baby at the end of March this year.

Ironically, before it magically popped out overnight, I was longing for a bump – visible proof on the packed tube that I was deserving of a surrendered seat. Then it appeared, and brought with it all kinds of sartorial complications. Usually I jump at the excuse for a valid reason to hit the shops, but not when I know I will only be wearing the spoils for a few months, so I’ve tried to be clever with my purchases.

In a way, I’m lucky that my day-to-day work wardrobe consists largely of dresses; most will stretch (sometimes in an ungainly manner, admittedly) to accommodate my widening waistline. Some, like my Ingenue Liv dress in a graphic pink flower print, look positively made for maternity and have garnered more compliments avec bump than in the days of a flatter tum. There are other items that have proven equally adaptable, like my old but faithful MET jeans, which are so low cut that they still sit comfortably underneath baby SJ at 33 weeks and counting. And I can’t not mention my Marks and Sparks leggings – designed for normal folk, with their StayNEW technology (nope, me either) they’re perfect for preggies, too, with a magically expanding and supportive middle panel that sits over the bump most pleasingly.

Of course, I have bought new bits, but among the throwaway maternity fashions of the high street favourites, my best pieces have been from super stylish Séraphine. Sienna Miller recognised the sheer brilliance of the Black Knitted Cape and likewise, I am loving it (not least because, thrown on over my trusty leather biker jacket, it keeps me chic and cosy on a cold morning AND hides the fact that the zipper gave up on containing me some time hence). And I know that I’ll wear it even after baby has arrived, which is the beauty of so many clothes in this collection. Take the Maternity and Nursing Jumpers which will see me through to birth, and then potentially another year of feeding, and the Grey Nursing Shawl, the most sumptuous of scarves now, and a discreet cover up when breastfeeding. And try as I might I couldn’t wait to use my Tote Changing Bag. Serious arm candy, I don’t need a baby to sport this Séraphine classic – in fact, it’s the perfect size for my purse, keys, iPad, Gaviscon, maternity notes… How will I ever make room for nappies?

And if all else fails? Avert attention from the tum with perfect posture and a clear complexion. I can’t recommend Charlotte Colwell’s facials strongly enough, and a few sessions with Pilates pro Liza Cawthorn should help you to avoid the waddle and carry your girth with grace.

Good luck girls.

Find the perfect maternity dress for your Valentine’s date night!

With a baby on the way, you and your partner may be feeling extra specially loved up this Valentine’s Day, so it’s important that you make sure to celebrate in style! Choosing the right dress for your big Valentine’s date night can be a tricky task, but here at Seraphine we have a gorgeous array of maternity dresses, and this post is aimed at helping you to find the perfect one to make you feel sensational.

To give you a little fashion inspiration, we’ve put together a little list of dream date night scenarios, and suggested the perfect maternity dresses to suit the occasion:

The Daytime Date

A romantic stroll with your love is a beautiful thing at anytime of the day! Head out on a day trip somewhere you’ve never been before and explore together, or go local and take in all of your favourite sights, making sure to visit those special places that remind you of why you fell in love – you know the ones we mean.

This kind of date needs a dress that looks great and is comfy & easy to move in.

Claret Red Asymmetric Empire Line Maternity Dress

Romantic Meal Out

Dinner out at your favourite fancy restaurant is a lovely way to treat yourselves on Valentine’s Day: Sharing a fantastic meal in a romantic setting and not having to worry about who’s turn it is to do the washing up! Good food, great conversation and the very best of company – what could be better!

This is the kind of date that calls for something a little bit special when it comes to choosing an outfit. Silk, lace, chiffon; the world is your oyster.

Champagne Silk Polka Dot Maternity Cocktail Dress

Romantic Dinner at Home

If you don’t want the hassle of going out, a cosy dinner at home with your man and the bump could be the perfect relaxing way to spend the evening. Whether you cook for him, he cooks for you, or you go for a take away, a quality evening in with just the two of you is a fantastic stress free way to reconnect.

In this setting simple, elegant style is key. Nothing too posh: This night is all about you and your man – not you and your dress!

Burgundy Maternity Shift Dress

Big Night Out

If you are the kind of couple who really likes to party, then maybe you’re thinking about heading out on the town on Valentine’s Night. Getting out and about, feeling the energy and dancing the night away is a great way of keeping your relationship fresh, and making new memories to treasure in years to come.

This kind of date calls for a dress that can be as flexible and spontaneous and you are!

Elsa Pataky transitions the seasons in a Seraphine Maternity Cardigan

Elsa Pataky has been rocking her Seraphine knitwear again this week!

The beautiful Spanish actress and her thunder god husband Chris Hemsworth are busy preparing to become parents of 3, ahead of the arrival of twins later this year to join their two year old daughter India Rose, but Elsa hasn’t let this faze her, and has been looking relaxed and stylish in Seraphine maternity knitwear!

Back in January, she sparkled in our Black Sequin Maternity Cardigan, and this week she was spotted out and about with friends, looking laidback in our Grey Wool and Cashmere Maternity Wrap Cardigan.

A post shared by Elsa Pataky (@elsapatakyconfidential) on Feb 27, 2017 at 2:44am PST

The cardigan itself, which is also available in cream, blends lamb’s wool, cotton, cashmere and angora in a luxurious chunky knit to keep you warm and cosy whatever the weather. Elsa wore it loose and showed off its contemporary waterfall cut, but you can also fasten it at the shoulder to keep out the cold and create a feminine draped cowl neckline.

She teamed it with a light floral summer dress, black ankle boots and a matching grey hat for a cool, comfy and relaxed style that is completely perfect for this tricky transitional time between seasons.

As we begin to move from winter into spring, we think that when it comes to transitional fashion solutions, Elsa has hit the nail on the head. It’s all about gradually introducing your new spring wardrobe, but keeping things warm and cosy with chunky maternity cardigans and warm woolly jumpers. A warm knit will protect you and your bump from the cold, but will also be easy to open up and take off if the sun decides to make an unexpected appearance.

Mother knows best – Natural beauty treats from your kitchen cupboard!

We all know that mums are a very special group of women who are simply never wrong about anything – well perhaps that’s not 100% true, but when it comes to natural beauty enhancing tips, we’ve found that our own mums can be a veritable goldmine of handy hints, tips and tricks.

During pregnancy, your hormones can tend to go a little haywire, and this can affect your hair and skin in all sorts of different ways, and you may also find that you are more sensitive to the harsh chemicals in your usual beauty products than before. At this point you could console yourself with some gorgeous new maternity clothes, but it’s also worth bearing in mind that natural home made beauty treatments can be a great way to give your hair and skin a little bit of much needed TLC without the nasty chemicals or the hefty price tag!

Here at Seraphine, we decided to ask our own mums for their top natural, chemical-free and pregnancy friendly beauty enhancing tips, and we were inundated with wonderful pearls of wisdom, based on generations of experience and cultural heritage! Here are a few of our favourites, along with some all natural recipes to help you try them out for yourselves.

Honey Face Mask

Our PR girl’s mum Homa grew up in Iran and believes that a honey face mask is the secret to perfect skin.

Honey is a natural health and beauty hero which brings all sorts of benefits to your skin:

Natural antibacterial properties – great for treating spots
Antioxidants – to hold back the aging process
Soothing and moisturising – boosts your complexion
Opens up pores – clears and unclogs your skin

Visit The Nourished Life blog to find the perfect honey face mask recipe to suit your skin type.

Olive Oil Hair Mask

A post shared by Seraphine Maternity (@seraphinematernity) on Apr 4, 2017 at 4:59am PDT

Our web manager’s mum Dannie is from the South of France, and attributes her soft and shiny locks to weekly olive oil hair masks.

Using an olive oil hair mask moisturises your hair to the max, helping to make it softer, shinier and healthier in general. Not only this, but it can also help to prevent dandruff, tame frizz and flyaways, and make styling a lot easier. A weekly olive oil treat for your hair really can work wonders.

The Chalk Board have posted a great recipe that mixes olive oil with honey, combining the moisturizing effects of both to create a super hair mask. Find the recipe here.

Sea Salt Scrub Exfoliators

A post shared by Seraphine Maternity (@seraphinematernity) on Mar 11, 2017 at 3:03am PST

Our copywriter’s mum, Caroline grew up on the South Coast of England, and swears by homemade sea salt exfoliating scrubs.

There are hundreds of manufactured exfoliating products on the market these days, and the prices range dramatically. At a spa you could easily pay a small fortune for a specialist exfoliating treatment, and while many of these will be very beneficial, it is so easy to create your own sweet smelling multi-purpose body scrubs using things that you can find in your kitchen cupboard!

Why not try one of these great salt scrub recipe ideas from Mother Nature Network.

So here’s to all mums – wherever in the world they may be – thank you for passing on your sage-like beauty wisdom!
