When we think about wedding outfits for mother of the brides or grooms, sometimes the last thing that comes to mind is fashion. But who says that the mother of the bride or groom cannot be fashionable? If you are the mother of a bride and are looking for wedding outfits then have a look at this post as it will highlight the top five trends that can be easily combined into any mother of the bride outfit.

 

Pastel shades

Pastel colours such as lilacs and pale yellows are next summer’s big trend and would suit a special occasion like a wedding very well. When buying a pastel coloured outfit though, bring a friend along or ask the sales lady if it goes with your skin tone. If pastel colours make your face look pale, then I’d suggest going for more vibrant colours.

 

The colour blue

From bright sky blue right through to dark midnight, blue is the colour that will set the trend this summer. You can choose a pencil skirt with a matching jacket in this colour for a timeless wedding look. When choosing your outfit though, make sure you ask the bride to be first is there is a dress code in order to avoid a tricky situation from occurring.

 

Floral patterns

Floral prints on dresses and skirts are ideal for weddings. This year you will see many statement-making graphic florals on dresses Fashion Trends for Mother of the Bride or Groomand tops, such as this floral dress which is styled with a pretty cowl neck and sheer short angel sleeves with a bias cut skirt.

Fascinators

This trend is dependent upon someone’s personal taste and personality but fascinators certainly may compliment a wedding outfit. For those who are not familiar with fascinators, it may be described as a hair accessory worn on the head and resembles a small hat but is held in place with a pin.

 

Extreme Texture

This is a bit of a risky trend for mother of the brides, considering it would be the bride who should be in the spotlights with her outfit, but next year’s trend is all about feathers (fascinators), layers and ruffles. If you do find a dress that is highly extravagant, then I would suggest asking your daughter first is she is ok with it, prior to buying it.

Glamorous and Economical

by guestcontributor on November 29, 2011


Being glamorous is usually mistaken to be very costly. This is not true. Glamour is all about the appearance. And this does not have to cause anyonea small fortune. Glamour and practicality can mix up quite well.

Be Neat and Tidy
Being presentable is achievable by being clean and proper. This is also true for glamour. As you can see from any glamorous settings, everything is neat and tidy making it perfectly presentable. And we already know that being neat and tidy do not have to cost much.

Apply Ergonomics and Simplicity
A lot of people think being glamorous is similar to being extravagant. This is a complete myth. A lot of glamorous designs excel in simplicity and ergonomics. You can apply this to your dress where a cheap monochrome jacket could match designer versions with just a little adjustment made. You can also apply the same principle with headgears and even mimic the ones worn by royalty.

Buy Cheaper Copies
Designer dresses are very expensive since they are made by famous fashion designers. However, there are a lot of cheaper versions available if you just give time to look. Replicas abound today and are a fraction of the price of the originals. And they look just as good.

Take Advantage of Free Perfume Samples
There are several expensive perfumes where you can get free samples. Take advantage of these and be able to experience having the smells of Clive Christian and Dolce & Gabana without having to pay for them.

Never Forget about Designs
As I have said earlier, glamour is all about the looks. So when you are in the flea market or in bargain stores look for impressive designs when it comes to shoes, jewelry and clothing.

As you can see, you can achieve being glamorous through the economical approach. So stop dreaming of becoming a star and do these tips to rival your favorite celebrities in style.
