Investment in Your Special Outfit

Our mother of the bride and groom dress collections range from £550 to £950, reflecting the premium quality, expert craftsmanship, and exclusive designer partnerships we offer.

What Your Investment Includes:

  • Personal styling consultation with our experienced team


  • Expert fitting advice tailored to your body shape


  • Access to coordinating accessories (hats, fascinators, shoes, handbags)

  • Ongoing support and guidance throughout your journey


  • 10% family discount when the bride purchases her wedding dress

We believe in transparent pricing and exceptional value. Every outfit represents quality that will look beautiful on the day and in photographs for years to come.

Coordinating with the Wedding

  • Complement the Colour Scheme

    Consider the bridesmaids’ colours and overall wedding palette, but don’t feel you must match exactly. Complementary tones often work beautifully.

  • Communicate with the Other Mother

    It’s helpful for both mothers to discuss their outfit choices to ensure you complement rather than clash with each other. We’re happy to coordinate consultations if that’s helpful.

  • Consider the Venue and Formality

    A country house wedding might call for flowing fabrics and softer colours, whilst a city venue could suit more structured, contemporary styles.

  • Think About the Season
    
Lighter fabrics and colours work beautifully for spring and summer weddings, whilst richer tones and heavier fabrics suit autumn and winter celebrations.

Expert Styling Guidance: Finding Your Perfect Look

Choosing the Right Silhouette for Your Figure

  • Statement Dresses with Jackets
    
This classic combination offers elegance and versatility. Wear the jacket during the ceremony and formal photographs, then remove it later in the evening for a fresh look. It’s practical, sophisticated, and timelessly elegant.

  • For Petite Figures

    Short, fitted jackets that finish at the waist or just below create beautiful proportions, accentuating your frame without overwhelming it. Pair with a fitted or A-line dress for a balanced silhouette.

  • For Curvier Figures
    
Longer jackets that extend to the hips create a streamlined, flattering silhouette. They provide elegant coverage whilst maintaining a polished appearance. Look for structured fabrics that skim rather than cling.

  • For Most Body Types
    
Long jackets worn over straight dresses offer versatility and elegance. This combination helps create a smooth line whilst providing coverage where you want it most.

  • Sleeve Considerations
    If you’re conscious about your upper arms, you’ll find plenty of options in our collections. Many designs feature three-quarter or full-length sleeves that provide elegant coverage whilst remaining stylish and contemporary. Alternatively, consider a dress with a coordinating wrap or jacket that you can wear throughout the day.

  • Choosing Your Colour Palette
    The right colour enhances your natural complexion and hair colour, making you look radiant in person and in photographs. Our experienced consultants will guide you towards shades that complement your features beautifully.

Mother of the Bride & Groom Dresses in Solihull

Consider These Factors:

  • Your natural colouring (hair, skin tone, eye colour)

  • The wedding colour scheme and theme

  • The season and venue

  • Coordination with the other mother’s outfit

  • What makes you feel confident and beautiful

We recommend elegant, sophisticated colours rather than overly trendy or loud choices. Classic doesn’t mean boring; our collections feature everything from soft champagnes and blush tones to rich navy, emerald, and burgundy.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start looking for my outfit?

We recommend beginning your search 6-9 months before the wedding. This provides ample time for ordering your chosen outfit, scheduling any necessary alterations, and finding coordinating accessories without feeling rushed. If the wedding is closer, don’t worry, contact us and we’ll do our utmost to help.

Do I need to book an appointment?

Whilst walk-ins are welcome when we have availability, we strongly recommend booking an appointment. This ensures you receive dedicated, unhurried attention from our consultants and guarantees we can give you the time and care you deserve.

What size range do your collections cover?

Our designer collections cater to a comprehensive range of sizes. During your consultation, we’ll help you find styles that flatter your individual figure perfectly. If you have specific concerns, please mention them when booking and we’ll ensure we have suitable options ready for you to try.

Should I coordinate with the other mother?

Absolutely! We encourage both mothers to communicate about their outfit choices. This ensures you complement each other beautifully without clashing. Our team can help coordinate styles and colours if you’d like to visit together or separately.

What if the bride hasn’t chosen her wedding dress yet?

Ideally, the bride will have chosen her dress first, as this helps inform colour and style decisions. However, our experienced team can guide you based on the wedding theme, colour scheme, and overall style even if final decisions haven’t been made. We’re flexible and will work with your timeline.

Can I bring accessories I already own?

Yes, please do! Bringing hats, shoes, or handbags you already own helps us coordinate your complete look and ensures everything works beautifully together.

Do you offer alterations?

We can arrange professional alterations to ensure your outfit fits perfectly. We’ll discuss this during your consultation and provide clear information about timing and costs.

What’s included in the family discount?

When the bride purchases her wedding dress from Brides of Solihull, mothers receive 10% off their mother of the bride or groom outfit. It’s our way of celebrating the whole family and thanking you for choosing us for this special occasion.

How far in advance should my outfit be ready?

We recommend having your complete outfit ready at least 4-6 weeks before the wedding. This allows time for any final adjustments and gives you peace of mind that everything is perfect.

Ready to discover your perfect outfit?
