For summer into autumn a splash of colour is a must have for a wedding guest and the Mother of the Bride shouldn’t shy from the attention that a red dress will give. This great dress from Dorothy Perkins isn’t as loud as most red dresses, making it more accessible for mothers and still gorgeous. The wrap dress shape is always flattering and lends a youthful class to a day dress.

I’ve teamed this statement dress with black accessories as they’re always in fashion and won’t retract from the gorgeous dress. This wide brimmed hat is perfectly casual for summer and, if you’re lucky enough to get some sun, you’ll be safe and shaded too. Accessories must match too so these black peep toes are a perfect choice. The cut away at the side makes this classic shoe shape perfect for summer and of course they’ll make sure that flash of leg looks shapely as ever.
