How to look chic as the mother of the bride this wedding season

With wedding season in full swing a number of people across the country are working out what they need to wear for all those weddings, but if there is one person who is probably the most nervous it has to be the Mother of the Bride.  The thing about being Mother of the Bride is that all eyes are on her but while she wants to look her best she also wants to make sure that she doesn't upstage her daughter. So how can you navigate this big day while still looking your best?

Pick the right colour

It is really important to go for the right colour scheme to your outfit. The idea is that you complement the colour scheme of the bridal party without looking like you are trying to be one of the bridesmaids. So pick a colour that matches and the colour scheme but is just different enough.

Be comfortable

Your daughter's wedding is a long and busy day so you need to make sure you are comfortable – can you spend 12 hours in your outfit and will you be too hot or too cold and will you feel the need to change half way through the day? Therefore, make sure you feel entirely comfortable in your outfit as you won't want to spend the day worrying about how you look. Think about layering your outfit so you can control your temperature. Therefore, things like women'sscarves will be a practical accessory to add to your wardrobe as you can use it to control your temperature.

You also need to make sure that you feel comfortable in how you look so choose an outfit that complements your figure so you look fab and of course if you look great you will feel great.

  

Accessorise with style

Here at MizEllie we always think that your accessories are just as important as the rest of your outfit, so make sure you think about things like your jewellery so you feel that the whole look is complete.  However, the key to your costume jewellery look is to keep it balanced so if you wear a statement pendant necklace wear stud earrings or if you want to go for some great chandelier style earrings keep your neckline bare. The idea is that you look chic and sophisticated but of course you can still have lots of fun with your jewellery.

A lot of women feel pressure to wear a hat on the big day but only do so if you will feel comfortable wearing a hat. A great alternative could be a fascinator or hair brooch but ultimately wear what you feel best in.

Get the look for less

At MizEllie we have a range of great women's scarves and costume and fashionjewellery which will be perfect for any fashionable mother of the bride to ensure she looks perfect for your daughter's big day.
