Key Looks for Mother of the Bride & Groom

When it comes to shopping for your Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom outfit for your daughter or sons special day, the most important deciding factor is that you feel beautiful and comfortable in your own skin. The couples special day is equally a special day for mums too

We have seen a big change in the choice of Mother of the Bride & Mother of the Groom styles. Designers are creating beautiful modern designs, from fitted tailored looks to midis & maxis. Elegant, easy to wear floral dresses in stunning prints. Stylish fitted Crepe designs, Chiffon & Jersey dresses and Jumpsuits.

When it comes to what you should wear there are no hard and fast rules, however, we do have a few suggestions that you might want to keep in mind when shopping for your mother of the bride or mother of the groom outfit.

* Comfort should be a priority. As well as looking stunning, you’ll want something that you can easily move in.

* Mum’s should confer with each other about their outfit choice to avoid clashing or turning up in a similar dress. 

* Take inspiration from the season, venue, location and theme of the wedding. This will help to narrow down your search and find the perfect look.

* Ideally you want to be shopping for your Mother of the Bride or Mother of the groom outfit around 8-12 weeks before the wedding date. This will allow time for any alterations you may need just to make sure the fit is perfect. That being said if you have left things last minute our collection is ‘Off the Peg’ which allows you to take it away on the day. Upon request most seamstresses can turn alterations around for you quickly.
