NEW MUM LOUISE COONEY LOOKS STUNNING IN CREAM DRESS AT BABY JUDE'S CHRISTENING
Influencer Louise Cooney had a big reason to celebrate this weekend as her family and friends got together for the christening of her baby boy Jude.
The mother-of-one welcomed baby Jude late last year with her partner Mark Sweeney and she has been documenting her life as a new mum for her followers.
The first-time parents were in their Sunday best for the special day and their six-month-old looked adorable dressed in a little white romper suit with white booties.
Louise and Mark were a doting mum and dad as they posed with Jude's godparents outside the church, with his grandparents also showing up for the occasion.
Little Jude arrived in the world on November 7, the same day as his dad Mark's birthday and they became a family of three just before Christmas.
The family went out for a fancy sit-down lunch after in Old Street restaurant in Malahide and later had cake at home. Jude's christening cake was cream with blue icing and a little teddy bear on top with a blue bow.
Louise had a wonderful day out with the family, writing: 'The best day for our little man’s Christening. My heart is so full.'
The new mum wore a stunning €475 cream ribbed-knit midi dress from the brand Self-Portrait that is still available here in a size XS and here in sizes S, M and L.
She faced a bit of an outfit dilemma the night before after changing her mind about what to wear and trying on a few different options.
Louise wrote: '[The Self-Portrait dress] was the one I'd originally planned on wearing for his christening when it was supposed to be back in March. I love the buttons, the quality is amazing [and] I feel good in it. It’s been sitting in my wardrobe for months now and I'm wondering is it slightly casual for a christening at this time of year?'
However, she eventually settled on her original choice - and we think it looked perfect!
