HomeWedding Information Holy Communion dresses

The little girl of seven or eight who receives First Holy Communion will have much in common with a traditional bride, as far as appearances go. She'll wear a white dress, often with a veil, white shoes and white gloves. The mood is solemn and formal, as this is a momentous occasion for Catholic children. In a sense, this is her ‘wedding' to her faith, and as such it's duly celebrated by her family.

If your little girl has recently been a bridesmaid, you might have a snowy white gown in store already! But if you haven't, we have a range of pretty, traditionally styled dresses that lend themselves well to the special ceremony of First Holy Communion. Some parents do like to go for an elaborate ‘bride of Christ' look, but it could be that simple, childlike Holy Communion dresses will become your daughter better.
