The hustle and bustle of a wedding can be quite invigorating, especially for the parents of the bridal couple. There are so many things to do from changing cushion covers to bed sheets and new curtains to dishing out traditional cuisines and of course the biggest of them all – getting the home painted.
But in this entire melee, the mother of the respective couples loses out on time to catch up on something smart to wear to the wedding. Attires for the mother of the groom range from the style and cut that will make her stand out on that day. After all she has to make a statement as the mother of the groom.
So pull up your socks ladies and get shopping to look adorable. Don’t worry of usurping the centre stage of the bride. This aspect should certainly be of no reason why you should not dress to your tee. Before you dig into your purses, note your figure – short and plump or tall and thin or timid looking or burlesque. Be frank with the way you look, it is only then you can get into something to accentuate your body. If you are on the plump side, do not go for flared rims or high slits. Take on biased cuts with lengths not more than below your knee with thicker suit materials. Do not use silks, crepes, chiffons as they will fall on your body showing off contours that are not to be highlighted.
Get latest magazines on your way to the market that are just discarded or pamper yourself with a few new ones. Then take a look at the colours of the season, cuts and styles. Imagine yourself in a particular outfit you choose and then talk to your seamstress about it. The internet has its large source on outfits for the groom’s mother. So take your pick.
Keep in mind a few spill over occasions before and after the wedding and get some stitched for the same. Do not use the same colours or the same patters. Also if you are on the heavier side abstain from heavy embroidery or hand work. Minimalist should be what you are looking at, as it will only make you look heavier.
Accessories are what completes every attire and fashion is high on these apparels. Match your shoes, belts, purses and necklace. Wear a complete set of a necklace, earrings, bangles and if possible match the watch too. Pearls are timeless, so it could be a classic set if you can match it with your attire. Else get digging on your accessories so that you have the apt thing by the time the wedding gets in close proximity.
As the mother of the groom, your responsibilities and work schedule never ends. So complete your ensembles as soon as possible. Keep everything ready from head to toe at least a month before the wedding because the last few days just fly away.
