Why do designers think all mothers of brides are stuck in 1977?

[Brunocatmon]

Dd is getting married next June. I have just started having a look around. I'd like a trouser suit, think cate blanchet.

What I'm finding is more Rita from corrie back in the day.

Where can I find a beautuful, stylish trousers suit. Dd would like us to coordinate with the bridesmaids who will probably be in baby blue.

Help.

That says sunday morning lay in, I'm off to make a cup of tea.
Why the heck would anyone think that is stylish?

Bella Freud makes beautiful suits.

Def better than the first 'I'm going back to bed look', this is a nice outfit and love the colour.

Now this, is a great idea.

We're not looking to match,my dd would like us to coordinate.

Watching this as I'm in a similar situation, dd getting married next year and is going for a fairly formal vibe, though she says don't worry about it, wear what you like. Some good inspiration on here for me, reassured a bit more now!

The Fold blue suit love this!

My goal is to be slim and fit enough to fit into Me&Em suits by the time my daughter gets married!

I didn’t look at anything that shouted MOB.
wore a designer dress that I bought in the sale long before the wedding. I had a lovely blue suit for the civil wedding in Zara.

Perhaps the wrong colour, but I love this style...

And also Rita Chakrabarti was wearing a lovely pale blue suit reading the news last night.

Why are trousers in all links wide-legged? Is that all that's available right now? I despair

That's beautiful 😍

Oh I love a wide leg trouser x

Hobbs
LK Bennett
Holland Cooper occasion dresses.
Personal stylist at John Lewis ( my mum is only 4'10 and used the stylist in Cheltenham for both grandson's weddings.) Not a hint of boxy, stiff, horrid jackets, sleeveless nonsense.

For my DS’s wedding in April I too wore a gorgeous Hobbs dress, pale pink silk, with matching accessories, I have never had as many compliments. They really do have some lovely occasion clothes don’t they?

So true. Anything with the label ' Mother of the Bride' is usually frumpadelic to the extreme.

And I remember Rita from Corrie in a green flared crimplene trouser suit.

Also as a PP said, Me and Em will probably have just the vibe you're looking for, also expensive but beautiful quality, Bella Freud depending on your budget.

Go to John Lewis and have a session with a stylist - can do suit, headwear and shoes in one go
