For all the fabulous ‘Mother of the Brides’ (and Grooms) out there stressing over what to wear on your child’s big day — we’ve got you covered!
We recently received an email from a lovely Adelaide mum whose daughter is getting married and she had NO IDEA where to start looking for the perfect Mother of the Bride outfit. Knowing our amazing Pineapple tribe would come through with the goods, we put the call out on our socials.
In no time, we had over 150 comments with a tonne of fantastic suggestions! From local boutiques, South Australian and Aussie designers, to talented local dressmakers for custom designs and alterations, our community shared their tried-and-true favourites.
We’ve gathered all these great recommendations into one place for you because, well — we’re nice like that!
Here’s to finding the perfect outfit and celebrating such a special occasion in style.
