Ideas please! Help me style a bride who’d like to wear trousers…

[FranklyIgiveadamn]

I’m helping a friend getting married in September at an outdoors venue. She would like to wear a tunic with trousers and maybe a long jacket over the top. She is 5’8” size 20/22, aged mid fifties. I’ve had the attached mood board already approved as a starting point. She is happy to spend some money on this (£100’s not £1000’s)

I’ve got Grizas, Masai and Sahara in mind. Good quality linen or even better silk/linen mix type fabrics. Please can you give me your suggestions for other brands and/or styling ideas? You lot are so good at this!

Thanks.

I can’t manage a link so here’s a screenshot. I like your mood board but thought one of these longline coats would look great with trousers. It still has the boho feel but a bit more special occasion.

Is that the kind of colour she wants, or is it shapes?
Because I'd like to gently suggest that just because she's a bride doesn't mean she has to wear something plain and approaching cream, beige, white.
Congratulations to your friend! 🥰

There's an Irish designer called Mizz Rio who specialises in wedding outfits. She often does trousers and a different take on wedding clothes. Worth a look for inspiration (she's on Instagram)

She almost makes me want to get married 😆

For instance, I just idly Googled and the first Sahara example that came up was this.
Which would definitely be in the running if I was getting married and wanted something tunicy shaped and in a hundreds budget.
Edited to add - sorry I forgot the trousers emphasis. In my defence I didn't sleep last night! 😂 Point about colour still stands though.

Agree with @Itsnouse - Shibumi all the way for the type of outfit your friend describes.
The tailored look is generally more flattering than floaty.
Hope you all have a lovely day.

Doesn't she want trousers?

She’s like pinks as a suggestion. Probably lighter colours but definitely not white or cream unless it’s a back drop for a subtle print. I think the mood board is a little plain so welcome ideas for stepping it up but not too jazzy… still refined. Thanks

Oooh thanks. I will investigate.

That is lovely, not sure how it would work with trousers but thanks.

Thanks. More bridal than I think she would want but can always throw it into the mix!
