“Deciding to wear my daughter just made sense to me. Our wedding mass was during nap time. I thought it might keep her calm on an already overwhelming day for her. I knew she would want to be near me. All of that, plus my husband and I wanting her to be involved somehow in the ceremony, it just was the best thing for everyone.” – Dalton Mort, Viral Babywearing Bride to Good Morning America (Feb 2019)
Baby wraps and ring slings are made from elegant fabrics which are then tied around you (as with Dalton’s baby wrap) or fastened through a set of rings which sit neatly on the shoulder. With a versatile number of carries possible and a huge range of responsibly-sourced, organic and vegan fabrics to choose from, there is sure to be a sling to suit your theme and style. Whether you’re going for a soft and timeless or bold and bright wedding, you will find a sling to complement your colour scheme perfectly.
Babywearing has many amazing benefits for parents and little ones. By having your child close to you, it will ensure they are engaged in the day and are less likely to fuss. Carried children have been proven to cry less and sleep more – what more could you want during a wedding ceremony? Discover the benefits of baby carrying here.
“Do what is most natural and what fits your family and lifestyle. And hey, it might just make for a great picture!” – Laura Schaefer of Fire and Gold Photography, Photographer of Viral Babywearing Wedding to Huffington Post.
