Christmas family photos are some of those pictures you know you'll look back on for years. Choosing what everyone will wear, though, can sometimes be harder than choosing the photographer.
The good news? Everyone doesn't have to match perfectly. Some of the prettiest Christmas family photos start with one special outfit and build the rest of the family's colors around it.
Start With One Special Christmas Outfit
If you have a little girl, her dress can be the perfect starting point for your family's color palette.
Our limited-edition Holly-Days Christmas Dress combines traditional Christmas colors in a sweet, classic style made for the holiday season.
Pair it with creams, soft neutrals, greens or touches of red on the rest of the family for a coordinated look that doesn't feel overly matched.
Build the Family's Colors Around Her Dress
One of the easiest ways to plan family photo outfits is to start with one special piece and pull colors from it for everyone else.
The Holly-Days Dress gives you several colors to work with, making it easy to coordinate the rest of the family without matching exactly. Choose one or two shades from the dress for siblings and keep the adults in softer, complementary colors for a polished family look.
Coordinate Brothers and Sisters Without Matching
Sibling outfits don't have to share the same print to look like they belong together.
Instead, pull one or two colors from her dress for a brother's shirt, sweater or romper. Keeping one child's outfit simpler also lets a special printed dress stand out without making the family photo feel busy.
For larger families, repeating the same few colors throughout everyone's outfits creates a coordinated look while still allowing each child to wear something that suits them.
Don't Forget Christmas Card Photos
If you're investing the time in family pictures, think about how the outfits will look on your Christmas card, too.
Classic silhouettes and traditional Christmas colors tend to age beautifully. Years from now, the photograph can still feel like Christmas without being tied to one passing trend.
Choose Something They Can Wear Again
Your Christmas picture outfit doesn't have to be worn only once.
Christmas parties, church, school Christmas programs, visits with grandparents, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day all give your little ones another chance to wear their special Christmas outfits.
