Mother of the bride - ideas of where to get kitted out

I can’t cope with the mother of the bride outfits, in particular the dreaded fascinator. Just choose a lovely dress and sone nice shoes ...who needs all the matchy matchy stuff !,

If you like a designer who specialises in wedding wear, take a look at Ronald Joyce. They have some lovely quality wedding outfits, including matching Hats, Fascinators, and styles.
They also have Wedding gowns and Bridesmaids Dresses if needed. They have an online webpage, or several stockists Nationwide.

They are quite expensive, but some specialist wedding hire shops sometimes stock a range, or they get sold on via a dress agency when no longer required.

Normally concessions like Jacques Vert in department stores are a good place to start, if you can find one after April 12th!

Depends how much you want to spend, you can find more upmarket trends online or locally, such as mumofthebride.co.uk/ near Birmingham. A bit of Googling will bring you shops in your area. Best to have a chat to the Groom's mum so that you don't clash, and perhaps ask you daughter if there are colours you should avoid. Then there is the hat/fascinator/or nothing question!

Congratulations Foxgloveandroses . You must be really happy, it’s something good to look forward to.
