Pregnant at Christmas: Cocktail Dresses & Mocktail Recipes

Ah Christmas – It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Unfortunately, it’s also the most boozy. A scary prospect if you’re newly pregnant & not ready to share the news!

Not to worry though – we’ve got a few top tipple avoidance tactics to share as well as some delicious festive mocktail recipes to replace those Christmas classics.

 

Fake Drinking Tips for Preggos at Parties


1. Order when no one is listening. A soda & lime can be easily dressed up as a gin & tonic or a vodka and orange can become… well… just orange. Make friends with the bartender & ask for it in a fancy glass & the two of you can pull this one off all evening.

2. Always be holding a drink. This one is great for avoiding any friendly refills.

3. Use your partner. If he’s at the party too, he can help you pull off the classic switcheroo – choose identical drinks and subtly switch glasses each time his starts to go down. This works best once everyone else is a few drinks in – they’ll be too tipsy to notice!

4. Beer in a can. If you’re usually a beer drinker, choose one that comes in a can or dark coloured bottle, then discreetly excuse yourself to the bathroom, dump the beer & refill with water.

5. Develop a mysterious tannin allergy. If you’re usually a wine drinker, this one can be tricky to fake. Avoid the issue altogether by claiming that out of nowhere wine has started giving you a terrible headache after just one glass. If you’re feeling sneaky, you could even pass off one of your hospital appointments as an allergy test!

6. If all else fails – be the designated driver!

Eggnog Alternative – Chai Frappe

Stunning sparkling maternity dress - perfect for party season

What with raw eggs, potentially unpasteurized milk and a healthy dose of bourbon, it’s best to steer clear of eggnog this year. Instead, why not treat yourself to a decaf chai Frappuccino – it’s just as indulgently sweet, cool & creamy with none of the risky ingredients!

Maternity Fashion Tips for Every Trimester with Fashion Blogger Maya Williams

When it comes to maternity fashion, international blogger & insta-star Maya Williams certainly knows a thing or two! This week on the blog, we caught up with her at our head office in London, where she shared some of her top tips for navigating each trimester in style. Read on and watch the video for Maya’s maternity fashion tips and to see which Seraphine maternity clothes she recommends for each stage of pregnancy.

 

Watch Maya’s Maternity Fashion Guide

 

1st Trimester Maternity Fashion Must-Haves

“In my first trimester the first thing I did was run to Seraphine and get jeans. I immediately fell in love with over the bump – they’re just so comfy and they hug you in.”

Get the Look: Coral Pleated Maternity Dress

 

Maya recommends Maternity Jeans as the essential first maternity fashion purchase. After that, it’s all about The Bump Kit – our chic maternity starter kit complete with maternity LBD, stretchy black skirt, leggings & essential white vest. And of course oversize shirts are perfect for hiding a blossoming bump through the first trimester – just be sure to team them with a slim leg style to balance out the volume.

 

2nd Trimester Maternity Fashion Must-Haves

 

“This is my favourite trimester. They call it the honeymoon of your pregnancy – you’ve got your energy back, you’ve told the world you’re pregnant and you can show off your bump!”

Maya recommends chic maternity dresses for the second trimester, preferring bodycon jersey dresses to show off the bump, or woven A-line dresses for a chic look.

 

Get the Look: Nautical Maternity Maxi Skirt

 

Maya can’t get enough of our Tailored Cropped Maternity Trousers for the office:

 “The cigarette pants – you can wear these for work or you can dress them up in the evening. I actually really love these, I got them in black. They hug you in, they slim you down and they really dress you up if you wear them with heels and they look nice and stylish.”

 

Get the Look: Mint Lace & Silk Chiffon Maternity Dress

 

“Of course we still need to look fabulous, we still need to feel fabulous, so this is a cocktail dress that you can wear to a wedding, your baby shower, a friend’s birthday party…. I really love the pastel colour of this and the style, and the way it falls – it would really accentuate your baby bump.”

 

3rd Trimester Maternity Fashion Must-Haves

Get the Look: Sapphire Lace Top Pleated Maternity Dress

 

“And now I’m heading into the third trimester, which is so exciting because it means I’m going to meet my baby very soon! A lot of the pieces that you’ll invest in at this stage need to be super comfortable and versatile so that you can wear them later during your nursing.”

Maya recommends horizontal stripes to flatter your bump through your third trimester – she loves our Striped Maternity & Nursing Dress and our Red & White Striped Cotton Maternity & Nursing Top.

She also recommends thinking about styles that will adapt easily for nursing after baby is born, from chic nursing tops to wrap dresses, flattering maxi dresses and maternity & nursing bras.

Ascot Dresses: Summer Event Dressing with Royal Commentator Katie Nicholl

With Royal Ascot last week, and the Wimbledon Championships heating up next week, the summer event season is getting into full swing. Choosing an outfit for this kind of occasion can be a challenge at the best of times, but with a baby bump to think about, it can become downright tricky. That’s where we come in! This year, royal commentator & author Katie Nicholl reported from Royal Ascot, looking utterly stunning in Seraphine luxe maternity dresses. Check out her Ascot Dresses for a little maternity fashion inspiration!

 

A post shared by Katie Nicholl (@katie_nicholl) on

Get the look: Champagne Cutout Lace Maternity Dress

“I was thrilled to be asked to be a co-presenter for ITV Racing’s coverage of Royal Ascot but there was a lot of pressure. My job was to commentate on the daily Royal Procession and so I needed to look the part. Being 33 weeks pregnant and broadcasting through the hottest June week on record since 1976 was a rather daunting prospect. I knew that I needed to feel comfortable and confident on air so I headed to Seraphine for Ascot Dresses! I felt elegant (so far as you can at 33 weeks pregnant in the sweltering heat) stylish and smart, which was really important. After all, it is Royal Ascot!” 

 

A post shared by Katie Nicholl (@katie_nicholl) on

Get the look: Pure Silk Polka Dot Maternity Dress

“I chose four designs by Seraphine for Royal Ascot and made sure my looks were deliberately different each day ranging from florals to black and white polka dots to an elegant navy blue dress with white piping and a glamorous nude lace frock, my personal favourite. All the dresses looked great on camera and what I liked was that each look was very different. I love to experiment when it comes to fashion – even with a bump. Seraphine has such an eclectic collection, there really is something for everyone.”

 

Get the look: Floral Silk Maternity Cocktail Dress

“When I’m broadcasting I like to wear elegant fitted dresses and fortunately maternity dresses aren’t the tent like creations they used to be! I’ve tried to stick to classic designs and experiment with colours. One of the things I love about Seraphine dresses is they are so comfortable and well made.”

 

Get the look: Scalloped Lace Maternity & Nursing Dress

We love Katie’s style – she looked perfectly polished all week long in her stunning Seraphine Ascot dresses. For more summer event outfit inspiration, check out our Luxe Collection of chic formal maternity dresses and cocktail dresses – they’re perfect for looking smart in in the sun!

 

Katie Nicholl is an international royal commentator, author and journalist. She has written two books about the Royal Family and is currently writing her third, a biography on Prince Harry to be released next year. She lives in North London with her husband and their four year old daughter Matilda and are expecting a second baby this summer.
