Think my mum has found her Mother of the bride outfit

Going shopping with my mum on Saturday but think she has decided on what she is wearing. If she gets it we will be shopping for the shoes/accessories & bag

12 weeks before the big day & she should be sorted

We spent 3 hours in one shop with MIL the day before our wedding helping her find an outfit

another thing off the list

I stood in the (zillionth) shop doorway and refused to let my mum leave until she bought something to wear

. Glad your mum is more organised!

i went with my mum to get an outfist for my sisters wedding!! i was traumatised...she bought 4 outfits in total!! Riduclous!!
she ended up wearing the first one during the day and changed into another in the evening!!
There was more to getting her outfit than there was getting my sisters dress!!

My mum found an outfit pretty early, but then kept finding things she liked better. Everytime I spoke to her she had returned one outfit and bought another one.

She ended up with the first outfit she had bought

Awww I am sure she will look gorgeous CH

I remember going shopping with my mum and my Nin for Nin's outfit. She walked into John Lewis, seen a gorgeous stunning pale blue dress and coat and said to my mum "that's the one" when my mum looked it was £700

She tried to talk her round but Nin was having none of it

Her response was "my girl is getting married and I wont be showing her up"

She then also wore it a few years later for my cousins wedding so felt like she got her monies worth

Ahhh that's lovely Adelelee :-)

Glad your mum has found an outfit CH. I went shopping with my mum a couple of weeks ago to get her an outfit for brothers wedding in August and I don't particularly want to go again in a hurry

To be honest I didn't think there were many wedding type outfits in the shops this year. Monsoon, who you'd expect to have quite a few had virtually nothing.
