Mother of the Bride (or Groom) Style Tips
With wedding season just around the corner we take a look for Mother of the Bride Styles for 2024.
The high street is packed with florals and green is also featuring everywhere but as Mother of the Bride (MOB) you have the inside scoop on what colour theme the bride is going to choose.
Should you match the Bridesmaids?
Ideally find a tone that complements the colour theme of the wedding without being an exact match for the bridesmaids. While you should avoid white or anything too flashy that might upstage the bride, don’t be afraid to experiment with colour. Soft pastels, muted neutrals, or jewel tones are elegant choices that won’t overshadow the bridal party.
Green is a popular choice in 2024. From sage to this vibrant cilantro from Hobbs.
Consider Comfort
As the mother of the bride, you’ll likely have a busy day ahead, so prioritise comfort when selecting your outfit and shoes. Ensure your attire allows you to move freely and comfortably throughout the day and night. Wedge, platform and flats can all add comfortable elegance to an outfit but ensure you won’t be the one dancing barefoot at the end of the night. They’re great for walking on grass too!
These beautiful pastel buckle and ribbon detailed block heel sling back shoes from Phase Eight combine elegance and comfort.
Accessories Elevate
Accessories can elevate your look and add a touch of personality. Adding statement jewellery, a chic clutch, or a stylish hat or fascinator for a touch of glamour and contrasting colours can really lift your look. Remember if you feel as though you will need to constantly adjust the brim of a hat to be able to see, or fiddle with a fussy wrap it probably isn’t the right choice.
For a local statement jewellery have a look at the collection at Kings Road in Peacock Mews in Leighton Buzzard.
Tailoring Perfects
Regardless of whether you choose a dress or a suit, proper tailoring is essential for a polished look. Invest in alterations to ensure the perfect fit, as a well-fitted outfit can make all the difference in your overall appearance.
Whether you choose to wear a dress or suit, ensure the perfect fit with alterations and tailoring. This beautiful classic suit from Reiss is simple and elegant.
Make Up
Your make up needs to be up to different lights, photographs, temperatures and possibly tears. A light and fresh look suits older skins. Consider getting make up lessons if you are not feeling confident or treat yourself to a make up artist. We love the work of Leighton Buzzard’s own Juliet Cunnington, you can see her work here
Confidence is Key
Above all, wear what makes you feel confident. Feeling comfortable in your ensemble will ensure you look and feel your best and not distract from this very special day.
