What should I wear to my daughter’s Las Vegas elopement?

My daughter, middle child, is eloping and has asked me along. To Las Vegas and the Little White Wedding Chapel. The grooms mum cant go so just me and my husband...her step dad (dad deceased) so I'm very honoured. Probs the only one of my 3 to get married looking ahead. She's wearing the attached. It's her in the dress and accessories just AI background. In the UK the mother of the bride would normally wear a pretty dress/jumpsuit and a fascinator of sorts. What would you suggest for LV for me that might compliment her aesthetic? It will be in May. I will be 54. A size 12-14. Mousey blond highlighted collar bone length hair. I prefer dresses to trousers. I have a tattooed left arm and I would like a covered back. I have some ideas I'm just not sure so i am open to what others might have as ideas! Thank you!

What time is the wedding? I think this could help you to narrow it down a little.
My friend’s daughter is marrying in Vegas next month, it’s an early evening ceremony- she’s wearing a long cocktail dress.

I'm thinking a sort of Pucci print... celebratory-fabulous in a 60s way...

What fun! Have a great time!

Just came here to say: Your daughter’s outfit is incredibly beautiful, stylish and fun - love it!!!

(I would go for a dress with a pencil skirt and a batwing upper half which works well in the heat and is also a bit special, but I’m afraid I’ve nothing helpful to suggest).

Youre right. Shes running away from everyone except me, her brother and sister. She felt she couldn't do it without telling us and having at least 1 of us there with her...

I'm glad you are getting to go. Have a lovely time.

I always thought eloping was running away to get married in secret, so I didn't think a mother would be there! Anyway, as it's a bit of a different wedding, I'd say wear something a bit different too and don't worry about what's expected for a mother of the bride. I like your daughter's outfit!

Photo will be pending but I loved this dress that @WonderingWanda suggested

We also married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas back in 2006. We had three guests. We hired a photographer, then had a photo taken under the Welcome to Last Vegas made into a postcard which we sent it to everyone we knew. 20 years later, still married and no regrets regarding our wedding choices.

Love your daughter's outfit. Best wishes to all of you.

It will be really hot in Vegas in May. I’d wear a structured dress in a solid colour to complement your daughter’s lovely outfit
