Searching for the perfect Mother of the Bride outfits can be a lot of fun. Don’t let the etiquette get in the way of you enjoying yourself. This is going to be a fab occasion and bar a few simple things you can pretty much wear anything you like.

Here are some of the no-no’s

White – but then you know this don’t you!

Black – although these days many Mother of the Bride outfits are black. If you prefer black just check with your daughter, but also keep in mind that if the Groomsmen are in black your dress will be indistinguishable in the photographs in front of their suits.

Red – need I say more?

Skirts that are too short!

Tops that are too revealing!

Well now, less those few things you can wear pretty much anything else, but of course there is the Brides opinion and choice to consider too! Is your daughter the easy going sort of Bride who says; “Wear what you feel comfortable in Mom.” Or is she the Bride who will insist that you wear exactly what it is that she wants?

No point in causing a fuss with your daughter on this occasion. Let her have her way if you can. It will keep the peace, which will make things more pleasant all round and I am sure you will be able to find something that will make you both happy!

Some popular colors for Mother of the Bride outfits are maroon, sky blue, fuchsia and bottle green, however, there are a huge variety of colors out there and I am sure you will find one that you absolutely adore, which looks amazing on you.

Wearing a hat to a wedding just seems to give your outfit that extra sort of flare, so I have found a few shops that have a wonderful selection of hats. Check out these links and see what you think.
