A lot has been said about what hues are appropriate for mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom dresses, but solid colours are by no means your only option for your daughter’s or son’s big day. Prints – especially florals – add a dash of fun and vibrance to any look, are usually on theme especially for spring and summer weddings, and are eye-catching without necessarily stealing attention away from the bride.
If you’re looking for a mother-of-the-bride/groom dress for a spring or summer ceremony, here are some beautiful options from Nicola Ross. From combo dresses to two-piece sets, there’s a color and print that you’ll fall in love with.
