Designer Mother of the Bride Dresses

If you've always wanted to splash out on a designer

label, there's not better time than for your daughter's wedding. It's the one occasion that you need to look elegant and feel confident in your look. Dozens of photos are going to be taken, so this is one occasion where a little extravagance can pay off.

The great news is that designer gowns & dresses can be more affordable than you think - especially if your timetable allows you to wait and go sale shopping for discount fashion.

Shopping for your Outfit

The best place to buy your designer wedding outfit is probably in shops, rather than online. You'll want to see the cut and fit, as well as the look and feel of the fabric, all very personal hands-on choices.

Whilst some smaller towns may have boutiques with designer wear, you may want to consider venturing further afield to your nearest city, where there may be a larger boutique selling a range of designer labels for special occasions. 

Look for stockists for collections from designers such as Cameron Blake, Condici, J Kara, John Charles, Linea Raffaeli, Ian Stuart, Mon Cheri & Paule Vasseur to find stores near you that stock gowns, dresses and outfits for the well dressed woman.

Wedding Outfits

If you're looking for a dress or two piece outfit, you may not need to find something that's exclusively created for the mother of the bride or groom.

Instead, choosing something elegant and suitably modest in the right colors and fabrics, can allow you to wear it again, perhaps on a cruise or special dinner dance.

A special occasion suit, styled on a more formal version of the church suit, may also allow you 

Petite women should look out for brand names like Darius Cordell and Ann Balon.  For plus sizes, names such as Joanna Hope and Katrina Marie are worth looking out for.

At the top end of the market, a designer, with names such as Daymor & Anton Laurence, may create a custom made, individually fitted garment especially tailored for you. 

This is the one time you can splash out on a fabulous formal outfit for yourself, have fun and enjoy wearing something wonderful!
