Please help me make my mother look perfect for her wedding

Oh stylish ones - I need your help! My mother is getting married in June. It's a day wedding and I am desperate to treat her to a beautiful dress. She is a size 12 and is very beautiful. Her colouring is light brown hair, honey coloured skin and green eyes. She is over 60 so doesn't want much of her arms on display and would prefer a long dress.

Originally she was suggesting a cream dress but
she has sent me this link. I can see why she likes it because the shape would suit her but I was hoping to find her something a bit more special (silk?) and perhaps without the diamante. I also think she would look beautiful in a tailored outfit but I am keeping quiet on that as I know that isn't what she wants.

Can you help? I have no idea what to suggest as I dress in a completely different style and none of the places I buy from will be right. Any ideas where I could take her shopping or any links that would help. Don't worry about budget for now I'm just trying to find inspiration.

when I had my dress made for me last year my mum was struggling to find anything to wear so I asked the company that were making mine if they would make something for her. we forwarded on pictures of dresses and jackets that she liked. gave s colour. cost us about 80 Pound and it was made to measure and she looked stunning
