She's there as a guest, not a matching ornament.

Mother of the Bride is a member of the wedding party, not a guest.

Ok, she's a member of the wedding party, not a matching ornament.

I just came across this site. They have a sale page with various outfits on. Thought it might help. You can buy, try and return if you dont like it

Opinions please ladies


Dress 1


Or

Dress 2

I prefer the first one - I think the colour is much classier than the purple, and I love the lace and the draped effect on the dress!

What colour shoes, hat / fascinator & bag look best with it? Silver, gold, ivory?

:rotfl:That's the one I like and the other is the one Mum likes.
I was also thinking gold to go with it

Love that 1st one! Could imagine my mum is something similar actually!

How does it fit with your colour scheme? Will the 2nd one clash?

A pale gold corsage would look lovely, pale gold fascinator & clutch & strappy shoes...will look great next to your dress too

Love the colour of the 1st one (it's actually very similar to the colour of mine!) and it's a neutral tone that will fit with any colour scheme. To be fair I love the colour of the 2nd too (purple is my favourite colour)! I prefer the cut and style of this one but do wonder if the purple will be a little garish with the orange (although it does go) I suppose it depends on the shade of orange, the amount you're using and the colours of your flowers.

Sorry, I'm not really being much help here am I?

I see what you mean, but at least she has founs something :rotfl: Only took her 18 months

We're not actually having clothing in orange just flowers. (couldn't get the cravats we wanted in the right colour, they didn't go with the waistcoats OH liked)
The flowers are mango calla lillies, the mums are having corsages in Ivory calla lillies.

I too like the cut of the second one, I think mum prefers someting with sleeves not straps.
