Default Mother of the Bride Help needed x2
Hello all

Mum has seen some lovely stuff she would like to get hold of, I know she is willing to pay silly money for an outfit, but I would rather try and find it as a right bargain for her and save her the cash. Does anyone know any sites that stock the mother of the bride designers cheaper?

Also, my auntie (namesake and close to me) wants a fab trouser suit for the wedding, any ideas?

Thses are the outfits mum likes:

Lovely outfits. Sorry no idea where you could get them from a bit cheaper. My mum had a few problems with her outfit as she is only five foot and a lot of them don't come in petite sizes. She did find the most gorgeous dress and jacket in the end though but it cost a small fortune.

Good luck with looking. My found the small one off shops were the best and much more helpful than places like Debenhams. They were also cheaper.

I dont know of anywhere Rools, but I think my mam is trying to source an outfit abit cheaper in the January sales. (whether she'll have any luck is another story)

I was shocked when I found out how much these outfits can cost!

I will let you know if I find anywhere.

Lovely outfits there by the way! Excellent choice Mrs Rools' Mum! x

No idea where to recommend.

Your mum would look really great in the first one!!! Really would suit her.

On a completely unrelated note, the advertising bar on the bottom of the thread is advertising Indian brides. Apparently they are having a January sale. The Russian brides being advertised must still be full price though. How depressing must that be to be reduced in a sale?

Oh, and beautiful outfits by the way!

Nicola

They are gorgeous outfits, where are they from? I'm going through this with my mum just now helping her look vie websites since I can't go with her. I would love her to wear something like the ones your mum likes but I live in fear of what mine will choose!

So far though I haven't come across anything but extortunate either, there has to be something?

Very glam outfits Rools!! How about getting a local dress makes to make something similar for her, would that work out any cheaper?

Wow Rools - that one is gorgeous!!

I hope your mum thinks so too when she tries it on. I love the way the skirt lies at the bottom!

My mum tried a dew outfits on in the sales yesterday, she tried on a gorgeous pink skirt suit, which I thought looked lovely, but she wants to loose a few pounds first - bless her!

There is a shop in brierley hill called Jantino's that stocks them, some lovely stuff in there.

My Dad was the only one who went on a diet for our wedding! He wanted to look good in the photos for me!

Obviously I'm a bit late to this thread, but just wanted to say how nice those outfits are. I particularly liked the third - very stylish.
