Mother of the Bride


My Mum has bought her Mother of the Bride outfit. I think she might be the most glamourous person at the wedding - she will beat me hands down.

My Mum is difficult to shop for, being petite and having a upper half a different size to her bottom half it isn't easy to find things that fit her. She also hates shopping. #1 & 2 took her for a day with a personal shopper and this was the outfit that they came up with, a whole day and they only came up with one outfit. I had to cut off the hat they chose because I can't figure out how to blank out just her face (such a nice way to talk about my mother). My Mum's words it is "ok" if I can't find anything it will be the one. Huh, who would have thought that MoB shopping would be the same as wedding dress shopping. There isn't the perfect outfit just a "one" that will do. Anyway I happen to think she looks fabulous in her "ok" outfit.

  3. its gorgeous, I love the collar and the colour! Slightly sad you hat to cut the hat though, hats at weddings are my favourite...

    I was a teeny bit disappointed that I got asked to be a bridesmaid at my friends wedding as I wanted an excuse to wear a massive hat lol.

  11. I love it! It is hard shopping for Mother of the Bride outfits - My Mum had so much trouble. And now we have the photos she regrets what she wore.

  12. Looks gorgeous; not just OK at all!

    Looking forward to seeing her outfit along with everything else, the hat too.

    It didnt take my mum long at all; think she was freaking it would take as many shops as we had been too for my dress so she wanted to just get it in one day which she did! She looked gorgeous in it too, wait till you see the size of her hat in the wedding pics!

    p.s, she totally wont beat you!
