Having firmly waved goodbye to dowdy floral frocks and shapeless dresses, once a staple for the mother of the bride, today's Mum feels younger and more glamourous than ever and the wide variety of fabulous outfits available reflects this.
Sophisticated skirt, dress and trouser suits remain a popular option for many, and combined with a structured coat can instantly add an air of effortless elegance to any mother of the bride.
Good examples of these can be found in Touche at Tarleton or Flamingo in Penwortham.
Alternatively, if you'd rather wear a dress, there is a wide variety of styles to flatter all shapes and sizes. Ranging from understated feminine beauty, to all out splendour complete with sparkling deaded detail, it's worth keeping an open mind as you may be surprised which style suits you best.
Try looking in Bridal Gallery at Eccleston or Barbara's in Standish.
Colours are also an important element to any mother of the bride outfit and before you start searching for your dream dress or suit, it is essential to check whether your daughter has a particuler colour scheme in mind for the wedding attire.
If not, gentle pastle shades such as champagne, rose-bud pink and lilac can be the perfect accomplaiment for spring and summer seasons, while beautiful, bold colours including hot pinks, canary yellow, shimmering aquamarines and classic blacks are also contenders - ideal for mothers of the bride looking to stand out from the crowd.
Try not to get side tracked by what's in fashion. It's much more important to buy a style and shade which suits you.As for accessories, hats and fascinators can be a great way to add that extra 'wow' factor to an outfit and ideal to seperate yourself as the mother of the bride, plus graceful shawls and glistening jewellery can often provide the piece de resistance.
Issues of practicality shouldn't be dismissed either, and as most mothers of the bride are likely to be in the spotlight all day too, a good, comfortable pair of shoes together with clothing made from non-crease materials are essential.
But above all, just make sure that you feel confident in whatever you wear, and you're certain to shine all day!
