She's the (second) most important woman in the room and the person you most want to feel comfortable, but there is no doubt about it, the Mother of the Bride outfit is a hard one to nail - and it’s something we are constantly asked about. You want to stand out (but not look too showy), you want to feel comfortable (but still look special) and you definitely want something you can rewear. It's a tricky balance.
We’ve pulled our favourite selection of outfits to suit a range of budgets - without a fascinator or skirt suit in sight.
