14 Stunning Mother of the Bride Dresses for Spring/Summer 2017

Fashion & Jewellery

Mother of the Bride outfits have come a long way from the billowing all-covered-up two-piece floral print and hat combos we know from the 80s, and this year for Spring/Summer styles are getting even more chic and contemporary. We absolutely love the look of the mother of the bride or groom in a neutral colour – think off-white, creams and golds for elegant, understated glamour – but for spring summer this year we’re seeing some stunning pastels coming in to the mix and adding some beautiful depth and colour to the bridal party.

Mother of the Bride Dress Stockists Ireland

There are so many great boutiques in Ireland offering superb services for those seeking out a fabulous gown for the Big Day – McElhinneys Department Store in Ballyboffey, Vanity Fair Boutique in Newbridge and Lynch Fashions Banagher, to name a few – but of course take a trip to some of the great stores on the high street too and don’t be afraid to try something different! For a list of the best mother of the bride and occasion wear boutiques in Ireland check out the weddingsonline fashion directory!

P.S. We know some of these photos feature women who aren’t likely to have a son or daughter of legal marrying age, unfortunately that’s who the designers of the dresses chose to model for them! Apologies in advance if this irks you.
