Wedding Dress for my mother

Sort of ubermumsnet fashionista request here. My lovely mother is getting married. I'm thrilled and have been designated as helper to find the frock.

A very very small registry office ceremony - family only. She's 67, 5'1, petite. Very stylish - - slightly boho theatrical dress sense, but can easily look swamped in some outfits. She wears a lot of Jigsaw stuff, and some designer whose name I have entirely forgotten.

The best I've found so far is this in blue - (not sure about the jacket but I like the dress). It may be too structured for her - although she has a terrific figure she often goes for slightly more floaty dresses.

Any other suggestions would be terrific. A budget of £200 to £300. Well, she said £200 to be honest. So nearer there.

What about this watercolour dress, it has some lovely colours and is soft and floaty.

Or if she loves bright colours.

Gold Silk here, would look very elegant with a cropped heavy lace jacket.
