Dressy pant suits popular in rural areas
When choosing an outfit for their daughter's big
day, the bride's mother should first decide whether
she would like a traditional or contemporary look.
Julie Stratton, of Julianne's Bridal and Formal
Wear in Goderich, says formal pant suits are very
popular for mothers.
"When we first suggest a pant suit they seem a bit
turned off, but they change their mind when they
see one. The pants are very flowy and look like
skirts. We're in a rural area and a lot of women feel
more comfortable in pants and if they can achieve
the look while staying comfortable at the same time,
they're happy."
Stratton says mothers typically like bright colours,
like lime green or different shades of blues and
browns.
"We're seeing a lot of young looks, not your tradi-
tional look with the full beaded jackets."
Taking the place of the jacket are shawls, which
has to do with personal taste, as well as weather.
"August is one of the busiest months and it's very
hot. Instead of a heavy jacket, the lighter shawl is
still enough of a cover and can be easily removed at
the reception," says Stratton.
"But it's still a very classy look."
Julianne's has a full selection of outfits, including
traditional styles, for the bride's mother. Unlike
some formal wear stores, they also carry many styles
of shoes, jewellery and handbags, making it easy to
coordinate an outfit all in one place.
"Typically, mothers come in about three to four find
months before the wedding and are able to
something and buy it off the rack. But, we can also
do special orders."
