Flash me your Mums outfits!

1 March, 2011 at 16:26 Posted on Planning 0 46

We are going shopping in a few weeks to look for an outfit for my mum.

For her 56 years of age she is relatively trendy and is not keen on some of the more traditional mother of the bride outfits.

For ideas, can any of you flash what your mums will be wearing?

    My mom is airing towards this:

    potentially with this instead of the full on hat:

    and this for the night:

    My stepmom has already purchased this:

    with a red Jacket and red shoes. Smiley smile

    My Mum is 58 and also quite trendy. She's got this:

    And will be getting a huge hat and has some gorgeous platforms which match the dress.

    My mum is having hers made.

    It's a Grace Kelly/Augrey Hepburn inspired aubergine and grey number. It has some ruching across the tummy and some fabulous buttons on the back. It's so pretty and elegant. I love the fact that no one else might be wearing the same dress as her which is often a risk with the usual MOB places to shop at.

    She's going to wear a fabulous hat, too. I'm so excited about seeing her in her outfit. I ❤️ my ma!

    Timeless, eh, Trickers?

    My mum's is too short for an up-do but I suppose it gives her more options hat wise. I love hats at weddings.

    This is my mums, she will be 57. It looks like a dusky pink but its actually lilac with a darker purple:


    Its a halterneck with a long skirt - skirt is ruched around the top and has a bit of a trail at the back. It has a jacket to match like this:

    She is gettin rainbow shoes & handbag dyed to match and is going to wear a big hat. We ordered extra material so she can change the top to normal straps instead of a halterneck if she wants. Shop was very accomodating.

    All of you are going to have such glamourous (sp?) MOB's!!

    Just wondered if anyone could give any suggestions for my mum please?! She is a bigger lady, bigger on the bottom than the top and not particularly fashionable (sorry mum!). I'm trying to come up with some nice fashionable outfits for her, get her to try something a little different to her normal, although obviously I don't want my mum to be uncomfy if she didn't like it!

    (just getting MOB outift envy lol)

    TIA (sorry for crashing thread)

    My mum always swears by Jacques Vert!

    We managed to find a turquoise outfit in the sale that matched our theme perfectly!
