Young & Modern Mother of the Bride Outfits

Are the traditional formal two or three piece mother of the bride outfits not for you?  Need something a little different, more inspired to wear for your daughter's day?

If you're looking for formal wear suitable for the modern mother of the bride, you have several options.

Whether you're a young mother, or just young at heart, here's some ideas to get you thinking:-

• unusual evening wear in vibrant colours - perhaps something from the Monsoon range of clothing
• formal shift dress with matching jacket accessories - the sort of dresses you'd find at Phase Eight
• look for party dresses, such as those by Jovani, full of character, style and elegance
• go for timeless looks from modern designers, such as Australian Lisa Ho
• go for stronger, brighter colours - whatever you feel comfortable enough to wear
• check out the designers and couture lines for unusual outfits
• consider black, though not a traditional choice of colour for wedding guests, it can look absolutely fabulous
• combine timeless elegance with modern style - team up the latest dress with vintage accessories, such as gloves or a hat
• scour the vintage shops for something elegant and timeless for a dress that you can wear with confidence

Whatever you choose, find something that you're going to love wearing that your daughter is going to love to.

Find great accessories to finish off your outfit and get ready for the big day!
