Little Looks for Big Days: Styling Inspiration for Summer’s Sweetest Moments
Whether it’s a wedding in the hills, a garden tea party, or simply matching under the sunset on holiday — these are the days we remember. And if you’ve ever tried to find a dress that’s organic, feels special, and lets them move freely — you’ll know: it’s not always easy.
At Carob, our girls’ dresses are designed to celebrate those big little moments — comfortable enough to keep up, beautiful enough for the photo.
Here’s how we’ve styled them for every summer occasion on your calendar.
WEDDING FLOWER GIRL
A soft, timeless look for your littlest flower girl. Our white dress pairs perfectly with a daisy flower crown and wicker basket — just add flower petals (and a snack tucked inside the basket for good measure;-).
Finish the look: white ballerina pumps from H&M keep things sweet but comfy.
Dress up tip: Let them wear the dress again with sandals and a denim jacket or cardigan on holiday nights.
HOLIDAYS AND COBBLED STREETS
The black Ophelia dress goes with everything — roomy, breathable, and playful enough for those strawberry-picking afternoons (or simply a strawberry bag from Konges Sløjd).
Add-ons we love: Zara’s black gladiators and the cutest berry straw hat from Next.
✈️ Pack it for: sunset dinners abroad matching with mummy, long lunch dates, or lazy strolls down cobbled streets.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Red has a way of making a moment feel just right. Whether it’s blowing out candles or bouncing on the trampoline, this fluttery tiered dress makes her feel like the star of the show.
Accessories: white espadrilles from Next and a soft hair bow from H&M for the finishing touch.
🎁 Styling note: She can wear it barefoot in the garden or with tights come autumn birthdays.
PARTIES AND DRESSED UP DINNERS
If she’s got a party, we’ve got the perfect dress. Gingham gets a playful update with shoulder bows and soft cotton layers — and it’s as good for beach dinners as it is for birthday cake. Plus the matching mummy version is our customers favourite twinning moment!
Little extras: A cherry pink bag from Smallable and ballet flats from Flabelus add the joy.
Why We Designed Them This
We know kids move. They jump, wriggle, and snack! Our dresses are designed to allow for all of that and more - made in soft, breathable fabrics, and styles that can be worn again and again. Just like their mummy.
Whether you’re planning a wedding outfit or looking for something for that one big evening abroad — we have you covered.
