what are the rules?
Traditionally, the mother of the bride’s dress should complement the wedding party’s colours (though not necessarily match), but the colouring for a wedding in now very important for the mum, you do not want to stand out so boldly in the photographs but look your best.
There’s only one colour not to wear and that is the same colour as the bride. if the bride is wearing what is now becoming more in “vogue” soft blush, nude colour palates, mauves and silver, if the bride chooses one of these then use the same colour palate, go lighter or darker than the main themed colour.
Team your outfit with a fascinator, hat or following the boho trend a fresh flower head band or add fresh flowers to the fascinator or hat.
The advice we would give you, is that you should start searching for your outfit no later than three months before the wedding, this allows time for alterations if they are required look at independent retailers for your dress, maybe even when your daughter is looking for her wedding dress enquire if the bridal boutique have a mother of the bride/ groom department, they will have exclusive collections and advice as to styling your outfit.
It is traditional for the mother of the bride to purchase her outfit first and then share her pictures, thoughts and ideas with the mother of the groom. The mothers’ outfits don’t have to match (unless that’s what the bride wants), but we would advise that they should harmonise each other.
