Mother of the groom- can I wear this???

[Kenworthington]

Before you all say don’t be ridiculous, you’ll look like the bride- there is no bride- it’s a gay wedding. I love this. lOVE it. Could get the floral one but of COURSE I want the cream one. Can I???????

Omg I took a pp's advice and looked at Vivienne Westwood and I'm in love

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I presume this is a joke?!

Of course not!!!

@PurrBox tbh I have only met her once, she seems really nice. But we all love at opposite ends of the country. I imagine she will make a big effort but perhaps in a different kind of way.

@PermanentTemporary oooh lOVE this one

@Kdubs1981 errrrrrm no. Rude!!

It's two men getting married - someone's got to wear something frilly and girlie - so do it! I would.

I quite like it, I wouldn't choose it myself but if you're a quirky dresser I think the red could work. Definitely not the cream, it just sends the wrong message and even if you look stunning in it (maybe more so if you look stunning it...) I think people would say things behind your back.

Ask your son and his husband to be, they'll know the tone they're aiming for and hopefully they'll be completely honest with you one way or another. Let us know what they say! 🤞

It’s stunning but agree with pp it could look a little upstagey. Someone posted a beautiful navy dress she was wearing for her wedding. I’ll see if I can find it.

I agree with @elizabethdraper - the red one would be perfect.

Why don’t you order it or go and try it on in a shop somewhere? You only have one life, live a little.

No. Unless you want everyone mouthing “what is she wearing?” behind your back.

That Vivienne Westwood is amazing!! Go for it!

What's rude is wearing something that resembles a wedding dress to your daughter in law and son's wedding.

The only thing more inappropriate than a guest wearing this is the mother of the bride or groom doing it.

It's their day

Right I have sent the floral ruffle one to ds. I have asked for his HONEST opinion. I will report back

No - bride or no bride that's a show-stealer dress.

@Kdubs1981 I get that but THERE IS NO BRIDE

Ok. I am guilty of not reading the full thread like a pillock.

Consider me sorry

It's the wine

No you can't. Cough. Reminder you're not the bride.

RTFT

I really like the Vivienne Westwood one @Kenworthington, from how you described your style it would look fantastic on you

No - especially not in the floral or champagne. I’d be worried that anything too bridal might be mistaken as a comment about the lack of a bride.

Go for the Vivienne Westwood for sure.

[quote Kenworthington]@Retisestress my son is very outgoing and flamboyant. He’d prob love it tbh. His partner wouldn’t notice if the whole bridal party turned up dressed in bin bags 🤣[/quote]
I think the floral one would be perfect.
