Mother of the Bride Wedding and Occasion Coats

Occasion Trouser Suits

You’ll also find loose-fitting wide-leg trousers with elasticated waists. Occasion trouser suits and wedding reception dresses finish below the knee, and evening gowns that come in various colours. Modern wedding styles at Gina Bacconi brings a touch of elegance to your look. At the same time, wedding specialist Jacques Vert has top-to-toe outfits for all your special events.

Classic Suits

Eastex has many elegant dresses, two-piece suits, jackets and skirts made especially with the older woman in mind. Loose flowing fabrics, easy-to-wear styles with wonderful prints, patterns and colours. You’ll find plus size occasion outfits in 12 to 34 and petite sizes giving a greater choice for mature women to find the perfect fit. Fabulous plus size fashion at Navabi offer a comprehensive choice of sizes, lengths and fit options, including a designer range of dress and matching bolero jackets.

Department stores have Grandmother of the Bride and wedding outfits to buy in-store or online, where you’ll find popular brands such as Windsmoor, Chesca, Viyella, Jaeger, Eastex, and Anne Harvey. Our selection includes these and more from other stylish designers and fashion stores.

Shapewear & Bodyshapers

Buying shapewear is often considered and can make you look and feel good in what you are wearing. There are shaper tights, firm control body shapers, waist cinchers and tummy control briefs for a smoother silhouette. Extra-wide padded straps, longline bras and panty corselets also give full-figure support, comfort and shaping, showing off your clothes to their best advantage.

Dressy trouser suits and jumpsuits

Find wedding stores with bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride and Grandmother outfits from designer brands. Here the whole wedding party can enjoy browsing the fabulous collection for women. There are hats, handbags and shoes to think of too. All-day events require shoes that are not only stylish but offer comfort as well. Soft wide fitting shoes are a good option in summer when standing for long periods can make feet very hot and tired.

Grandmother Outfit Ideas

Most women have their favourite stores where they buy everyday clothes but when it comes to weddings something extra special is required. Once the shopping begins, it can be eye-opening to discover how many fabulous collections are out there. The discerning dresser will be pleased with the sophisticated styles from the likes of Fenn Wright Manson, Chesca, Jacques Vert and Evans. Their clothes are made to fit and flatter with pretty chiffon pieces, delicate layering and elasticated waistbands for comfort.

Skirt Suits

Choose from eye-catching midi skirts and suits in soft pastel shades to glamorous long evening dresses in bright, cheery hues, plus find matching accessories for a complete ensemble. Best of all, these wonderful creations can be worn again to other family occasions, christenings and garden parties. At CC Fashion, you will find inspiration from their Get the Look ideas section for different mix-and-match items. Chic tailored jackets work with dresses, skirts as well as smart trousers.

Wide Brim Hats

Choosing the finishing touches is the fun part whether it’s a feather fascinator or a fancy wide-brim hat, you’ll have plenty to choose from. Complete wedding outfits from specialists such as Jacques Vert make life easy and include matching hats and satin shoes. More fashion stores are putting together picture-perfect occasionwear where you can buy the complete outfit online. This not only takes the stress and strain out of shopping, it makes it a more enjoyable experience.
