What to wear to a wedding at this time of year?

Dear all,

My first post here so please excuse the lack of familiarity with the terms! My son is getting married in a month's time and I am looking for some assistance with what to wear. Now, first time wedding for my oldest and I am a bit nervous so to speak. I have found a few different outfits and wanted some inspiration. Me, size 10, average height. I luckily can get away with a few different styles but I want something classic that doesn't make me look too mumsy, if that makes sense? I have my heart set on a Mother of the bride outfit from here and my other half is rather happy to provide (all of those years of putting up with him have paid off!) Just wanted a few thoughts as as such?

I like all of those dress and dress coat options for mother of the bride looks-all very classic if that's what you are after.
Although I love the lighter colour ways I'd be tempted at this time of year to go for a darker more primary colour out of those available because then if it's snowing or somesuch and you are likely to be cold you can wear black tights? But if that's not really an issue for you the pastels are very in just now, and are nice and springlike.

My most very favourite was the shirt pink jacket over the grey spotted dress I think, that said!

I would choose one of the first three.

I think that good quality flesh coloured tights can look good with those outfits and keep you just as warm as dark tights.

Blimey! They're lovely but pricey.

hah yes I love that one too. To be honest, they're all great.

Love Leila - blue dress coat the best.

But all absolutely beautiful!
