The golden rules every mother should follow are a few and basic:
– avoid, as all the other guests, light colours such as white, bride’s exclusive choice, off-white, ivory, champagne and beige; darker shades like black, which is considered too formal;
– opt for an outfit like a tailleur with top and jacket, otherwise gowns and shift dresses with a stole, which must be worn outdoor and inside churches, chapels and other religious places;
– choose medium-height shoes (max 7 cm) in order not to exceed your daughter in pictures and to avoid annoying pain;
– prefer solid colours for your garments and clothes;
– wear gloves and hats just in case they’re close to your personal style. Wearing them is purely optional;
– avoid high heels, platforms and sandals;
– don’t mix and match decorative motifs;
– don’t overdo with bold and bright accessories and pieces of jewellery;
– don’t show off an excessive décolletage or daring lace panels and transparencies without proper underwear and camouflage.
Dear mothers, the wedding day is one of those unforgettable days in your daughter’s life but you will look stunning in every picture by following these rules as well as being flawless: the perfect mother of the bride!
