We’ve had a look around some of the top designers for mother of the bride wear to see what’s hot this season.
Pastels have always been popular for spring weddings and this Spring 2013 sees a lot of subdued colours from the pastel spectrum, with lots of rich fabrics such as Thai silks, Italian taffetas and jacquards.
Top of our MOB style chart is Ian Stuar’ts new Bel Air collection. It oozes style, sophistication and will make your mum bang on trend to boot!
Ian Stuart
Ian Stuart
I simply adore this prom style dress in neutral shades from Ian Stuart. It is funky and modern with a real 60s feel and would be perfect for a mum who loves her style!
Pifer & Mayka
This elegant ice toned dress and bolero style jacket is classic and will not date.
John Charles
Many mums like to have the security of a sleeve. This dress with marble effect and wide neck is perfect for those who want to hide their arms yet really show they mean business in the style stakes!
John Charles
How modern does this style look? The little short jacket with beautiful collar detail is subtle yet glamourous. The neutral shade is perfect for working your mum’s outfit into the scheme of the day. Stunning.
Aideen Bodkin
Successful Irish designer Aideen Bodkin’s new SS13 collection is certainly worth a look, this jacquard print fitted dress and jacket is chic and effortless in spring friendly silver tones.
Of course, if your mum fancies something in a bolder shade, there are plenty of options too, with different shades of green, blue and pinks coming to the fore this Spring.
Pronovias
If your mum is not one to go with the crowd, these luxurious offerings from Spanish designer Pronovias are certainly worth a look. This tangerine two piece trouser outfit will make sure she is seen, whilst the pink beaded dress with flowing sleeve detail would be perfect for a less formal do.
Linea Raffaelli
Belgian designer Linea Raffaelli is another name that never disappoints both for brides and their stylish mums. This less formal print dress would make a stylish option for a relaxed intimate family wedding.
Condici
Keeping with the popular shades of the season, Condici have many elegant options for mums.
Aideen Bodkin
I love the modern vibrant print on this otherwise simple dress and jacket combo! Stylish.
Condici
You could of course mix it up a bit with a strong navy, black or grey with a subtle shade of pink or cream, just like these sophisticated two piece outfits from Condici.
