Summer Mother of the Bride Outfits 2025
The apple green cropped jacket is a great layer for your race day or wedding guest dress. A fitted style with seam detailing and a curved open front adds an elegant silhouette. The vibrant green works well with florals; we love the Catira strappy navy multi-print dress with delicate straps and ruffled skirt.
The Phase Eight Zoele red jacket features an open front and bow details on the sleeves. Wear with the Rita black and white polka dot tulle dress for a stunning race day outfit. Features include a fully tiered flowing skirt and a complimentary belt. Finish with coordinating red shoes and a clutch.
The Aldous jumpsuit by L.K. Bennett is apt for the spotlight as any standout dress, and it's your perfect choice for a stylish Royal Ascot ensemble. Dipped in rich wisteria purple, this jumpsuit exudes charm with its silky texture and wide-legged cropped cut. Features include a distinctive rounded collar, short puffed sleeves, elegantly concealed buttons plus a dazzling diamante buckle belt.
The Freud yellow cotton tie-neck sleeveless dress is ideal for summer events, with a nipped-in waist and flared skirt with pockets. Team with platforms and a matching lemon mesh hat featuring pretty yellow netting with crystal detail falling over the face. Perfect for race day and weddings.
We love the Lisa Tan Geo Stripe ruffle shoulder midi dress featuring bold bursts of colour and contrasting geometric shapes. Big ruffles and a full skirt further accentuate the playfulness of this style.
For a classic edge, the colour block midaxi offers a sleek sleeveless fit and flare design in a pink, lime and white combination. Contrasting tones, rainbow hues, cascading hems, bows and ruffles complete the special race day and wedding occasionwear at Coast.

Dress and Matching Jackets Outfits

The Mother of the Bride, the Mother of the Groom, and not forgetting the Grandmother of the Bride will be spoilt for choice when choosing summer wedding outfits. Summer dresses can be delicate floaty creations, lightweight skirts can be complemented with stylish jackets, and a spectacular hat can make a statement.
Summer Wedding Hat Styles
Weddings are one of those times when you can have fun trying out the different hat styles, and the bigger, the better. Wide-brimmed hats are perfect for summertime and special occasions wouldn’t be the same without them. However, it is wise to get the look right and make sure it compliments what you wear on the day. Not everyone can wear a wide brim despite how glamorous they look; a small-brimmed hat may be better and can be soon bedecked with finery to set off an outfit. Discover modern Mother of the Bride summer wedding outfits at Gina Bacconi, Phase Eight, Hobbs, Coast and L.K. Bennett. Classic skirt suits from Eastex and plus size occasion wear from Navabi, Chesca and Jacques Vert.
Dress Suits for the Mother of the Bride/Groom
A plain suit or dress can magically transform into something special with a hat. Summertime is full of brightly coloured hats made from soft, delicate fabrics. Hats are expertly designed so they won’t cast a shadow over your face. Good colours for Mother of the Bride summer wedding outfits are ivory and cream, coral pink, peach, lavender, lilac, purple, sage green, and yellow. Taking time out to mix and match clothes to get the right look will be so rewarding. Your choice of outfit will get you noticed as you project yourself in a new light. You will feel comfortable and relaxed, ready to meet the demands of the day and look a million dollars all at the same time.
Grandmother of the Bride Outfits
Floral patterns, and sheer material, with frills or without, can all hold their place when buying summer wedding outfits. Older, more elegant ladies or the Grandmother of the Bride will be attracted to a two-piece dress and jacket. Whereas, fashion followers may crave whatever is in vogue and be on the lookout for the latest designer dresses.
Mother of the Bride or Groom hasn’t always got to go with tradition they can create a whole new look. There are a few factors to consider when buying summer wedding outfits, mainly age, body shape and personal preferences. You can also go for elegance, a timeless classic, or be bold with the latest trend.
