Of celebration and parting sorrows. Of joy and pain of separation, the time of your daughters marriage including the preparation phase is the most valuable time of your life. The moment holds a special feeling as you reminisce through your own trousseau collection. The time spent with your own family and friends as you were a spinster unfolds several memories. This is a moment too for the entire family with lot of outings and dinners.
Occasionally there would be get together’s with the grooms family to discuss about the ceremony and plans. This can also be time to bond and hence impressions are important. One needs to present oneself well while meeting people and that too when they are so important for your daughter. The collections can be a mix of semi formal clothes and certainly needs to have a lot of character.
It is also important to note that mother of the bride outfit can get somewhat stereotyped with clichéd patterns. You could also gently make enquiries with the grooms mother on the colour of the outfit she would prefer so that there is no same colour clash at the events. Generally seasons in fashion are largely dominated by colours and definitely with the material of the dress. Hence it would be wise to make a tactful enquiry to avoid looking uniformed.
Red is surely the sign of youth and radiance and need not be necessarily be the brides colour. You could have the mother of the bride lace dress in pastel shades or go in for a blue chiffon dresses. Understand your physical comfort and invest in a good range of inner wear set for your age and comfort. There are plenty of sizes to explore in the market. If you on the slimmer side one could also go in for a corset set. Mininmalise on the embroidery and work as the bride is more important. Also get into a regime of taking care of your hands and feet.
The early signs of aging if ignored by you has now a chance for revival. The idea of looking good comes from the unity of mind and body. Though you may be anxious of your daughters marriage and preparations for the same, make sure to visit the salon. Get a body massage and facial. It is a perfect time to indulge and make a weekend free to bring on your best clothes forward and do a clean up of your wardrobe.
It is important to also find a budget that would fit the needs of all the people in the family. There are stylists available who are aware of the latest trend setting and can do a fine job in refurbishing your wardrobe.
