Mums VIP Guests

Weddings are also big days for the mothers of brides and grooms, so it’s important that they look amazing too! Here you’ll find all the essential info to make sure they feel extra glam...

Things to consider

• Due to the large number of postponed weddings, 2021 is going to be a busy year for the industry. Start shopping pronto in case of delays. • This includes mothers of the bride and groom, of course! Make sure you’ve got plenty of time to get orders in and make alterations. • Talk to the couple in advance so your outfit can complement theirs and those of the bridal party.

Think about what you’ll look like next to each other in photos. • Also, connect with the other mother of the bride/groom so you can avoid clashing outfits! • Think about location and season.

You’ll probably want a more lightweight material for a summer wedding and a jacket or sleeve if it’s going to be cooler.

Mothers style

Many bridal stores in the northeast have sections especially for mothers of the bride and groom. If you’d like one-onone assistance, make sure to book an appointment. Want something brand new? Angharad Bridal has introduced the Lizabella collection to their store this year. They specialise in flattering designs made from good quality fabrics – and their outfits even come with matching face masks! Alternatively, you could browse department stores that’ll have a range of occasionwear options at varying prices. Although it’s a more expensive option, getting an outfit custom made would meet all of your requirements. Picking an investment piece would give you the opportunity to collaborate with a designer, but again, make sure you start planning early. www.deesidephoto.co.uk

There’s lots of flexibility these days when it comes to the wedding outfits for VIP guests. Explore different silhouettes so you know what’s most flattering on you. It’s also important the outfit is comfortable to wear when you are sitting and standing. If it’s going to be a formal affair, why not pick a full-length evening gown or a smart dress? While a microwedding may call for a more laidback style. If you’re following 2021 trends keep an eye out for statement sleeves, smart jumpsuits and trouser suits. If you'd love to wear a fascinator or hat, why not visit one of the northeast’s top milliners? Not keen on headgear? Then treat yourself to professional hair styling! Tie in your accessories with your outfit, and maybe use them as a way to add a pop of colour. Think about comfort when picking your shoes – you’ll probably be doing a lot of standing and mingling on the big day. And don’t forget a matching handbag – you’ll need somewhere to keep your lipstick and tissues! ♥
