At Ameliia Bea, we know that the mother of the bride or groom deserves a look that is just as special as the wedding day itself. That’s why our Mother of the Bride, Groom & Occasion Wear Boutique at 110 Albert Road Southsea Hampshire po4 0JS offers a carefully curated selection of designer pieces, accessories, and expert styling advice.
Book a VIP styling appointment to explore colour palettes, styles, and finishes, and browse our collection of hats, fascinators, and bags to complete your perfect outfit.
Traditionally, the mother of the bride’s outfit should complement the wedding colours – but now, looking stylish and harmonious is just as important.
Rules to remember:
Avoid wearing the same colour as the bride.
If the bride chooses soft blush, nude, mauve, or silver, select a tone lighter or darker than her palette.
Complete your outfit with a fascinator, hat, or boho-inspired fresh flower headband—or add fresh flowers to your existing accessory.
Timing: Start shopping at least three months before the wedding to allow time for alterations. Ask your bridal boutique if they have a Mother of the Bride/Groom department for exclusive collections and styling advice.
Traditionally, the mother of the bride selects her outfit first, then shares ideas with the mother of the groom. Outfits don’t need to match exactly, but we recommend harmonising colours and styles for a cohesive and elegant look.
Our collection highlights gold, cream, soft silvers, navy, soft pinks, corals, and light grey florals vibrant colour palettes and sky blue for “something blue”. From floaty frocks and Jackie-O inspired jackets to formal dresses with long-line jackets, our pieces are modern, classic, and elegant with a contemporary edge.
Shapes include:
Bateau necklines
Fit-and-flare dresses
Sleeved options
Long-line jackets (plain and embroidered)
Two-piece dress-and-jacket ensembles
