The Wedding: Mother of the Bride/Groom
Having a son or daughter getting married has to be one of the biggest moments in a parents life. As Mother of the Bride you are the main troubleshooter and being there for your daughter. Learn how much input is required of you from your daughter, some ladies want to do almost everything themselves whilst others need a little more assistance and listening ear along the way. With the excitement comes the various debates and discussions about 'what to wear', 'colours', 'style' and much more.
I have witnessed every conceivable scenario over the years styling Mothers of the Bride or at least I think I have until I am faced with a new one!! Mums who have never worn a hat before, panicking about what to do. The last thing to do is panic. There is a hat or headpiece that suits every lady and when you visit my studio you learn the designs that best suit you and your outfit.
When it comes to choosing her outfit the Mother of the Bride is often guided on which colours to wear or not to wear, the particular
look that her daughter wants to achieve for her wedding day. This collaboration is wonderful between Mums and their daughters. Spending time with each other during this process is precious and should not be stressful, you should be able to enjoy it and express what it is you feel confident wearing. Mother of the Bride should be dressed for her own role not matching bridesmaids unless the Bride has specifically instructed this.
'Mum' is very important and she should be elegant, look her absolute best but most of all, 'Mum' needs to be relaxed on your wedding day so she can enjoy it, meeting family and friends. Sometimes, the importance of this is lost in all the drama. If you are a little organised and plan ahead, everything will fall into place. You don't have to go shopping for numerous days to find an outfit or dress. Do your homework first, all the leading Mother of the Bride/Groom Boutiques in Ireland stock an amazing array of labels and staff are experienced in choosing the right style and colours for you. 
When clients arrive at my studio I really enjoy getting to know a little of their personality as this is key to choosing the right hat design for her. I coordinate all the accessories, the headpiece or hat can be designed dyed to match, occasion shoes and bags are also dyed to match, an array of beautiful clutch bags and occasion jewellery to complement any outfit. Your whole look can change totally with the right styling. This process is relaxed and often lets us see the real personality of the Mother of the Bride.
