When it comes to colour names, the last decade was all about bold bright shades like Scarlet, Violet, Saffron & Blue. But 2020 is ushering in a new age of softer pastel hues.

The name Grey, in particular, has been climbing up the charts & can work for both boys & girls.

Names we love:

Grey
Lilac
Pearl
Sage
Ash
Olive

3) 90s Nostalgia

Of course, not everyone’s looking as far back as the 1920s for naming ideas. One of this year’s top baby name trends is a little more recent!

Many of those becoming parents this year were kids or teenagers in the 90s & some are choosing nostalgic 90s inspired names.

Names we love:

Snuggle Up in Style & Celebrate Cuddle Up Day!

That’s right mamas, this Friday is National Cuddle Up Day, and we don’t know about you, but we’re planning on celebrating all weekend long!

A warm hug is the perfect way to get those Oxytocin levels soaring, which is proven to help boost your mood and combat stress – very important during pregnancy. So in honour of the cuddly occasion, we thought we’d take the opportunity to share a few of our favourite images of stunning mamas wearing Seraphine maternity clothes and nightwear while sharing a sweet moment with someone special.

The Maze Runner actress Kaya Scodelario posted this adorable picture in our Berry Ruched Maternity Dress, cuddled up to a friend’s baby while still expecting her son.

 

Of course it’s not just baby who likes to cuddle… Super stylish event planning mama Elizabeth Landry simply glowed in our White Crochet Lace Maternity Dress on her stunning summer maternity shoot.

 

This week fashion-forward mama Elena posted this gorgeous picture getting cosy with baby Emma, who steals the shot in our Cotton Tartan Butterfly Sleeve Baby Dress from The Diana Collection.

 

Celebrity yoga instructor & mama of three Kristin McGee cuddled up with her eldest, Timothy while expecting her twin boys Robert & William. Our Long Line Popper Nursing Top was the perfect choice for such a sweet moment.

Now what are you waiting for? Go and give someone special a great big hug!

Imagethirst Family Photography – Making Memories for Life

The journey to motherhood is filled with special moments. You’ll be creating amazing new memories every day of your nine months, and then for years to come with your child. In fact, there are so many wonderful moments to celebrate that it can be a challenge to hold onto them all!

Seraphine Founder Cecile was reviewing the Seraphine archives recently, when she discovered these little gems from the early days of the company taken by Imagethirst photographers…. Meet Florian, Cecile’s youngest son.

 

Baby model

 

These days he’s a strapping 6 year old, but when Florian was a baby he was Seraphine’s first ever baby wear model!

And much more than just an adorable face, Florian was also the inspiration behind one of Seraphine’s first ever printed T-shirts – the Letter Tee. It displays a poem that Cecile wrote for him shortly after his birth – a mother’s message to her beautiful new baby, expressing her hopes, dreams and promises for his future.

 

Maternity tops

 

It’s a wonderful thing to be able to capture and relive these precious moments through photographs. And this winter, London’s leading family photography studio Imagethirst are offering you the chance to capture your own memories.
