Wesley's picture

"Mom, I'm getting married!" What mother doesn't get weak knees at the thought of hearing those words? After the rush of excitement and joy come so many questions and tasks from the florist to the caterer. So many in fact that it's easy for the mother of the bride (or groom) to forget it's their big day too and who can blame them for wanting to look absolutely gorgeous as well? With this in mind, the fashion consultants behind the popular fashion blog Fabulous After 40 have prepared a comprehensive field manual (including worksheets) just for mom:

Needless to say, you will want to look your absolute best come the wedding day. But what does that mean? What color should you wear? What styles are age-appropriate? Which dress will show off your best assets without making you look like a prom-wannabe, or an old lady? Deciding what to wear may be the hardest, if not most stressful, choice you will have to make throughout the entire wedding planning process.

If the thought of trying on clothes makes you feel stressed and anxious, not to mention – gasp! – mother of the bride dresses, relax! We‟re here to help ease you through the scary waters of dressing as a Mother of the Bride. We understand all the problems women face when shopping for an after-40 body. We‟re here to prepare you with dozens of top tips from designers, merchandisers and dressmakers, as well as give you solid advice from the bridal field, all aimed at making you look fashionable and feel fabulous on the biggest day of your child‟s life.

Topics range from common myths (no you don't have to wear pink) to the effect of seasonality on dress selection.

This tip-laden ebook can be purchased directly from the authors here.

Read more about it at Fabulous After 40.
