I love this ceremony outfits, suitable for any person over 50, in particular for an elegant, yet down to earth mother of the Bride or the Groom who is looking for an outfit with no frills, a dress where the high quality of fabric and tailoring speaks for itself.

Mother of the bride best outfits for 2015

2015-01-27T12:18:00.003+00:00

Here are my suggestions for the mother of the bride's outfit.

The groom's mother can also use some of this suggestions, but do check with the bride about wearing light colours. It is quite nice when all the wedding party wears light coloured dresses, but when it's just the bride and the mother of the groom it somehow seems weird... someone might think you want to steal the show.

I have to say I wasn't inspired by more affordable fashion. But I'll keep looking and might update this page as I find more solutions. My preferred options is the Biyan dress over trousers followed by Gianbattista Valli..

Crafted from a unique translucent sequinned fabric, this white reflections jacquard midi dress from London-based Self-Portraithas an unlined bodice to showcase the intricate geometric details. Featuring a flared midi skirt in textured jacquard, the dress is perfect for both day and evening.

Max Mara £275 at Matches Faashion

This is a classic wedding dress and its neutral colour is perfect for any wedding, especially

a morning/early afternoon one.

I love the precious fabric with contrasting ton sur tone pattern.

Tips on the colour scheme - Crazy About Weddings

2014-04-22T13:08:00.002+01:00

In my experience as a wedding planner the colour scheme of a wedding should be at least at least 2 colours, even better if 3.

When I see one-colour -only weddings they appear to me not only flat, but also heavy and I know straight away the design in not professional.

So if you are after a delicate, and sophisticated look for your wedding, trust me, add the extra colour/s!

The multicoloured scheme is usually more subtle and appears more refined to the eye. Often though I I prefer to add 3rd colour to finish off the palette and a 4th for the accents.

In this wedding here below I have used a combination of pink grey and olive green, that I have mixed and matched. For the stationery I've used olive green and pink ribbon, for the bridal party grey and pink. The flowers combined all this colours, the green used was always silver green, flowers where mainly pink and white, and I went further adding some accents of purple lavender, that worked a treat to lift the look.

The wedding was celebrated in the Italian countryside and the pictures here below are by Morlotti Studio. Flower arrangements and stationery by me - Elena -

Bridesmaids in pink with flat sandals

Nude goddess sandals to match a pink pastel scheme, it's the perfect relaxed, yet sophisticated look for bridesmaids in spring summer 2014.

This shade of pink has been toned down by the dahlia bouquets, where the white and the green really balance the look.

blue wedding + DIY tip - Crazy About Weddings

2012-04-08T12:53:00.001+01:00

Not sure if you girls still like blue as a wedding theme, my brides loved it 2 years ago... but hey! I still adore it!

See some good ideas here below and a little bit of DIY if you are up for it.

Careful that delphinium comes in two different shades, make sure you order the right one, or both if you want to combine them like in some of the pictures below.

Talk soon,
