Motherswear:

Your day is is also a great opportunity for the ladies you invite to dress up and look their best for a day.

Remember that your mother and the grooms mother will be part of the photo sessions at the church, elegance is the word when picking her outfit. Silks, satins, sequens and lace theres no limit.

Don't forget hats, shoes and jewellery.

Plan ahead, start looking straight away. Most quality retailers will have that seasons fashion in around 6 months ahead or at least they will know the type of clothes they will be getting in. Ask them to contact you as soon as the new season fashion arrives so you can have the widest choice, if you wait the dress you like may be there but not in the right size.

Most retailers now realise that all women aren't a size 10 and are stocking a wide range of sizes.
