If you’re looking for a more traditional look on your daughter’s big day, then a dress suit is a fantastic choice. Perfect for older mums, this suit from Lisa Rene provides an elegant way to stay demure (and even cover up any bits you don’t want to show off).
The suit in royal blue comes in three pieces – a jacket, camisole and matching skirt. The whole ensemble is tied together with the cuffs of the jacket matching the camisole detailing. With the separates, this is perfect for those who find dresses a pain and the jacket provides the perfect solution for those who’d rather not expose their arms, without looking out of place. Chic and stylish, but maybe I’d lose the hat? Get yours from Womans Suits.com for $169.

Every mother I’ve ever known swears by her handbag. Remember how you were sworn against rummaging as a child? That’s because more often than not there’s a whole host of emergency supplies within. Never is this trusty accessory more useful, or more tricky to get right than on a wedding day. Finding the room for the essentials and making sure it looks good is never easy. That’s why I’ve picked my favourite bags for mums and wedding guests for the big day.

When your family is hosting a big formal wedding, it’s important for the matriarch of the family to look, and more importantly feel wonderful. This glamorous outfit with silver accessories will ensure your outfit sparkles just as much as the smile the event is sure to put on your face. Best of all it comes at high street prices.
This gorgeous dress from Marks and Spencers is stunning without looking too young. We all know mature ladies can do glam with great style. I’ve teamed this dress with a pair of silver sandals from Dune. These Kalliant sandals are delicate and pretty and will create gorgeously slim calves peeping out from the hemline.

Covering up a little more than your teenage counterparts needn’t mean you look frumpy. You can outshine the room in style (without upstaging the bride of course) in this fantastic dress and jacket combination from Signature by Atelier Alyce.
Teamed with silver accessories, this dress is given centre stage to show off your glamorous side. These shoes from Dune provide slimmed legs to match that shorter hemline, and the Dune bag sets off the whole combination, with enough room for all important tissues. Read over for details.

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. Read over the jump for details of this great summer outfit at even better high street prices.

Whether your mum is still young in years, or just feels it, there’s no reason for her to turn into a frumpy mummy on your wedding day. Glam her up with this fashion-trend outfit from Monsoon.
The maxi dress is a lush version of the biggest summer trend, and has the added bonus of being a demure cut if your mum doesn’t feel like showing anything off. The green silk hangs beautifully to give a flowing silhouette. Next comes this mint green wrap which will compliment the dress wonderfully and also keep out any breeze while posing for photos. Finish the look off with some subtle metallic court shoes. Bang on trend, these are both fashionable and comfortable, with a mid heel that’s easy to dance the night away in. Perfect for a summer wedding, or on into Autumn, this is designed for any fashion conscious mother who wants a touch of class. See over the jump for product details.

If you want to achieve glamour fit for the catwalk without overshadowing the bride-to-be this outfit is perfect for you. Fashion conscious mums, step up the aisle in style!
This dress is a simple and stunning prom-style dress which will flatter almost any shape, given the slight A-line skirt, and this Bolero style jacket makes a strapless dress more demure without covering up to the point of frumpy. It’s even spot on trend with a similar white version recently seen on one Victoria Beckham.

Mum’s are well known for having everything to hand from plasters to a needle and thread. On a day when they’re needed more than most, you can combine readiness with glamour with this beautiful clutch bag from Delilah Leiber.
The girls over at our sister site The Bag Lady spotted this designer, crystal covered bag that’s just big enough to fit in your tissues and your daughter’s spare lippy too. It’s a sneaky opportunity to splurge on yourself just once on this big day since it’s a pretty whopping $2495. Just don’t tell the Father of the Bride, eh?

Forget bridezilla, try mother-of-bridezilla, she’s a terrifying beast, but I reckon one you can tame. Keep her occupied with the Knot Guide for the Mother of the Bride, featuring all the traditions and information she’s likely to need to help you. Back when parents used to foot the bill for everything, they had a right to a say in your proceedings, but as things change and they’re not always paying, they can feel sidelined, so it’d be a lovely gift to give her to let her know she’s included in your plans.

Thanks in part to Cilla Black we all associate hats with weddings and the older lady. But are they still in fashion or is it all twee at best?
I’ve been at more weddings than your average (I used to play at services, I’m no curtain twitcher type in the back row!) and I’ve certainly noticed some head gear that’s more Turner Prize winner than catwalk material. Truth be told hat-spotting was the favourite game. That said, I’ve noticed a decline of hat wearing guests in favour of fascinators and intricate hair styles.

Ever wondered how the mother of the bride finds the whole proceedings? This Mother of the Bride blogger tells it how it is in the run up to her daughter’s wedding and is now posting tips post nuptials with some pointers on what to expect and just how specific you have to be with some suppliers.
The strapline sums it all up, “I will not wear lilac or drink cheap sparkling wine … But I will grit my teeth and do what I can to make my daughter’s wedding all that she wants it to be (even if her father doesn’t have a clue how much this will really cost).”

When you’re zipping around making sure everything’s perfect, like only a mother can, you’ll want to make sure you won’t end up blistered by the reception. These simple sandals from Dune are a pretty solution.
These summery mules are made of soft leather to ensure comfort, and the kitten heel means they’re both sexy and understated. They’re available in white and tan but I love this pale green’s subtle statement.
