Mothers of the bride and groom outfits

How could we forget about the mothers of the bride and groom?, after all these very important member of a very glamorous female cast are also center stage for the big day. Whilst there are not many rules regarding what the mothers  can and cannot wear, there are some general guidelines.

The most well known and obvious is that the mothers must not wear white and should really only chance wearing cream when the bride has opted for a more unconventional wedding attire or color.

Loose fitting trouser suits with side slits are the preferred option over the more restrictive trouser type suit worn for work or interviews.

If you opt for a high collared jacket do not then opt for a hat with a heavy brim as this tends to give the impression that the face is pushed down towards the shoulders and dissappearing into the neck.

If you decide on a large hat then youwill most likely need a low neckline, large hats go well withlong dresses or three quarter length jackets.

Do not wear a large hat with boxy style short jackets.


Feathered or netted head-dresses go better with floaty, summery style fabrics.


Watch out for make up.

Neutral tones eye shadow is easier for blending and gives the impression of opening up the eyes.

If you are worried about fine lines do not use shimmering eye shadow as this only more clearly defines those fine lines.

Dark toned eye shadow gives the impression in photos of reducing the eye size.


Of course the major nighmare for the mothers of the bride and groom is that both should turn up in similar outfits or even worse, the same outfit.

Neither party wants this so make sure your that you find out what the other party is wearing, nobody need be offended, it literally suits everyone.
Everyone has their own wedding ideas and ensuring that as many people as possible are happy with the whole wedding planning process can take some doing.
