Well we are on count down to my daughters Wedding.
About 3 months, 31st October.
What do you wear?
Have been out looking, I have brought two dresses back and not sure if either will be any good?
They have very kindly said I can keep them till my hubby is home so he can see.
I have Loads of for and against.
I really dont know! A really big
I didnt want to have anything on my head but looks

like I will have to.
I dont know!
Its my daughters day, didnt think i would be so muddled.
Any thoughts?
Jo

I think you should get something in a colour that you know you like to wear. Check with the bride and t'other mother if there is one, so you don't clash/look like twins.
Try sitting in it on various chairs. And getting out of a car without doing too much of a shuffle. Does the material crease? Does it photograph OK?
Can you shed a jacket7wrap if it gets too warm?
As for the hat - can you get away with one of those decoration things? Does it have to be a hat?

Go in your birthday suit. Remember to iron it first

I have a similar problem for a bit earlier in October as mother of the groom.-- So far I have a calf length navy lace dress which I am thinking of accessorizing with???
Or I may find something completely different -- My main thought is to be comfy -- I am definitely not a "fashion at all costs" sort of person.

Oh when is your son getting married MG?
So daunting for me to be honest!
Thought we were well up on all the arranging but the list of things to do is huge!
And now they have a puppy and he wasnt in the agenda of the things to sort out!
I think Im going to take them both back...NL doesnt like them
