Mother of the Groom outfit help please

My ds1 is getting married at the end of September and so I've started looking at what to wear. But what does the mother of the groom wear?!

I'm 44, and a size 12 pear shape. Whatever it is, I need to be able to move around as I also have a 3yr old ds to chase after (big age gap!) and 6 grandchildren to deal with..... Versatile is the word I think!

I would go for separates then.

What's the wedding party style, top hat and rails or something else,?

Where do you currently shop?

I would opt for flats or wedges to wear on my feet.

I love this look-

Whoes celeb style do you like?
