My mum is not very fashion conscious and lives in her jeans and suits! Consequentially we have started looking for her outfit already, despite me not getting married until December! We cannot find anything she likes, and whatever she looks at looks more like a business suit than something to wear to a wedding! Mum is 52, 5ft 6, very pretty with gorgeous long hair and a great body but she doesnt like to wear skirts/dresses or have the tops of her arms showing (having any of her arms showing is very rare!!).... very frustrating as she could soooo get away with showing her figure off more!! I'm posting to ask if you have any advice regarding shops/websites which do nice coloured suits/outfits, or if you've had any experience of personal shoppers.... this may have to be an option!!

Where abouts are you?

Mum got a gorgeous Paule Vasseur outfit from No 25 Bourne End (near Marlow). It has a lovely jacket that goes with it.

You could try the Jacque Vert section of any big department store - they tend to be more classic than high fashion, and have trouser suits with things like long jackets etc.

Are you looking for any particular colour?

No particluar colour, just something which she feels comfortable in as she severely lacks confidence! i'll have a look at the Jacque Vert range when i'm in town next week, trouser suits are probably the way forward, thanks!

any other ideas welcomed!!

Im with twinks on this one. My mum has bought all her wedding outfits fron Jacques Vert and they were all stunning. All of them were trouser suits with long jackets. They are quite expensive but keep your eyes open for the sales as my mum got all hers at a cracking discount. Im not getting married until next March but she bought her outfit last December. Hope that helps a little.

What about trying the personal shopping service at House of Fraser or Debenhams? Not necessarily to buy, but might give her a confidence boost, and reassure her she can wear certain styles etc.
