Eveningwear for Mother of the Bride/Groom
After the worry of what to wear for your daughter’s or son’s wedding is over there is a sense of relief that everything went so perfectly, including your own ensemble. With the toasts and wedding celebrations of the day finished it’s time to let your hair down, well maybe not literally.
Mother of the Bride Evening Dresses
Evening wear for the Mother of the Bride can be just as stunning as day attire but in a different way. Cocktail dresses, skirt suits, long or shorter gowns and trouser suits can have more glitz and sparkle that you would normally wear during the day.
Younger mums can take to the dance floor in a trendy outfit while the mature mum can show off her style technique in a classy choice of partywear. The evening wedding reception is a fab time to chill out and take in the events of the glorious day. It’s best to choose an outfit that you feel relaxed and comfortable in and of course, look just as glamorous.
Designer Dresses
Occasionwear is found in most online catalogues as well as department stores and wedding shops. There are designer labels, celebrity fashion choices and style advisors all with a helping hand to create a unique look. Experiment with bolder colours and accessories for an evening wedding gown and heeled shoes or sparkly sandals for extra glam.
It is less stressful buying clothes for the evening event because you haven’t the worry of trying to complement wedding colours or attendants. You can enjoy wearing your favourite colours and style of clothes you feel confident in.
