The photographs of that perfect big day are going to be around for a long time. Not to mention the fact that you want to look and feel your loveliest on your daughter’s wedding day, just as she does. But mother of the bride outfits need be no trickier than any others.

So here are some pointers that relate to this Spring’s wedding fashion trends 2012 on how to choose your mother of the bride dress – colour.

Choosing your mother of the bride outfit is a fashion decision that really counts. The photographs of that perfect big day are going to be around for a long time. Not to mention the fact that you want to look and feel your loveliest on your daughter’s wedding day, just as she does. But mother of the bride outfits need be no trickier than any others.

So here are some pointers that relate to this Spring’s wedding fashion trends 2012 on how to choose your mother of the bride dress – colour.

Pastel shades
The pastels and blancmange shades that crop up most frequently on mothers of the bride aren’t your only option. And they are such a stand-by that they have become a bit clichéd. Was I the only one who thought Kate Middleton’s mum looked safe, elegant, but less than dazzling at the Royal wedding? Unless you have very pale colouring and you usually wear those shades happily, steer towards something a little more vivid. A vibrant shade, worn with confidence can make your skin glow.

Bright colours

The richest emeralds, cobalts, oranges and purples are some of the hottest looks on the high street at the moment and they are made for grown-up women. Those rich colours, in a clean-lined, simple silhouette would make a gorgeous look for a wedding. Just keep your accessories simple, your make-up soft, and let the dress do the talking.

Soft colours

A softer option would be a sherbert shade. Coral, deep lilac, tangerine, topaz and lime can all look fresh and zingy, particularly for a spring wedding. And setting off one base shade with a dash of another can look lovely if done carefully – if your dress is a cool topaz you might be surprised how wonderful it can look with a pale, buttery gold.

Find a large department store with a wide range of gloves and hats, take your dress along and try absolutely everything with it. By all means take along your best friend for advice, but enlist the help of the shop assistant too. They aren’t aware of your fashion habits so they will approach you with fresh eyes, which are invaluable. Have fun!

Don’t be afraid of getting lost in all this white.  A white wedding gown with lots of texture and sparkle will still allow you to shine.

Peaches also add an elegant touch to the dinner menu.  Try peach-glazed pork, peach bourbon cake, and peach granita garnished with mint.
