Wedding Style: The Mother of The Bride

There is no doubt that it is the bride who feels the most pressure to look her best on her wedding day, which is why the bridal industry spends so many millions on marketing to her. But what of the mother of the bride?! Or of the groom for that matter?! Both play a vitally important role on the big day, meeting and greeting, and taking the plaudits for bringing up such fine human beings, so it only figures that mother of the bride dresses and coat should be given the upmost importance! Choosing wedding outfits for mothers can be a tricky task, since they need to convey style, taste, and authority. At Favourbrook, we've always had these ladies in our minds precisely because the rest of the industry hasn't. They require a level of sophistication, elegance, timelessness, and of course glamour, and a good deal of our dresses and summer coats have been designed with them in mind. Designed and handmade in England, our outfits for a special day are peerless.

Long Coats

Coats tend to be the real show stoppers at weddings and we have a number of styles that will be perfect for mothers of the bride or groom. Our Savoy and Windsor coats in silk Tasar are beautiful examples of modern minimalism, rendered in soft pastel tones such as peppermint, blush and corn yellow. Both styles feature a full pleated skirt for dynamic movement.

Another stunning option for mothers of the bride or groom is our perennial Westminster coat, which this season has been crafted in a number of striking different crease-resist linen iterations. This flattering, slim-line coat features a grown-on collar, helping to create a sleek neckline. Contrast silk piping and a detailed hem, alongside fabric-covered button detailing make the Westminster style perfect for summer weddings.
