Ideas for 'alternative' outfits for mother of the groom

Hi Mnetters,

My son is getting married in August and I'm struggling to find anything I like.

Everything is rather frumpy for want of a better description. lots of frocks and fascinators which isnt my taste. My own style is slightly boho, rock chick ish, hippy ish. I love bright colours in the summer, but have loads of black in my wardrobe too.

think Stevie Nicks, with a bit of Kate Bush, Florence Welsh combo.

my budget is roughly up to £500. Ive been looking at Rixo, Needle and Thread, and The Vampires wife (I wish! too expensive for me)
have seen a few things I like but nothing I want yet.
I'm 56, long 'dirty blonde' hair, 5ft 9, wide shoulders, long legs, no arse, not too much of a gut, and moderate sized breasts. size 14 but aiming to be a 12.

Id be so grateful of any ideas you may have. thanks in advance.

My DM wore a velvet suit to my wedding with a silk top under, looked fabulous!

There are a lot of nice things on that site . Not heard of it before .

I came on to say Rixo which I see is already mentioned - my son isn't getting married till next summer but I'm looking (only vaguely right now) for a similar vibe so will be having a good look through this thread!

You look stunning 😍 I hope you had a fabulous time?
I love your outfit. Is it a dress or a skirt and top?
