How to choose a stylish mother-of-the-bride outfit

Q – My mum wants to wear something age-appropriate for my wedding while still looking stylish and sexy. Do you have any suggestions?

"Everyone has different tastes, and some of us know what colours and styles suit our body shapes while others need a little bit of guidance and assistance to look the part. Whether your mum wants to stand out from the crowd or blend in, she will want to look her best for you.

"If it’s the low-key look she’s after, then you could opt for a simple gown and accessories with an amazing hat or unusual fascinator, a statement handbag or snazzy shoes.

"The outfit doesn’t need to be revealing to be sexy, but it should show off her body shape at its best. She will want to feel like the second best-dressed women at your wedding, so you can be as proud of her as she is of you."
