Dressed To Impress

Dressed To Impress

Q My mom is hunting for the perfect outfit for my wedding; what advice can you share?
A Lalage Beaumont says: Planning your mom's outfit for your wedding can be exciting, whether it's a formal church ceremony, a relaxed countryside celebration, or a breezy beach event. Consider whether your mom enjoys dressing up for a traditional wedding. She might love a smart dress and coat paired with a hat, or she might feel more comfortable in a chic trouser suit. For a casual vibe, maxi dresses are stunning and versatile.

For formal settings, being the mother-of-the-bride doesn't mean following strict rules, as she can wear anything a stylish wedding guest would. Midi-length dresses are trendy and flattering for many, particularly with waisted, flowing skirts. However, if she's self-conscious about her middle, structured and straighter designs might be better. Don't forget shoes, as while high heels can elevate a look. Just choose sensibly as weddings often involve lots of standing.

Start by browsing Pinterest for inspiration, focusing on colours and styles she loves. Once she has ideas and a budget in mind, encourage her to try on various outfits in stores. Fit and comfort are key, so in-person shopping is best. Most importantly, ensure she feels confident in her choice – that's what will make her shine on your special day.
