Popular mother-of-the-bride/groom colours and styles for 2022

Popular mother-of-the-bride/groom looks for 2022

Q – We’re planning a summer wedding for next year. What colours and styles would you suggest our mums look for?

"Hopefully, spring/summer 2022 will be the year of weddings with colours reflecting what will be an uplifting and energising year whilst restoring balance into our lives. Take inspiration from the orchid flower, an intense hue of magenta alongside a natural shade of olive. Butter yellow and mango sorbet are also dominant tones set to storm the catwalks, with the most predicted one being Atlantic blue.

"So, where does this leave our mother- of-the-brides/grooms? The dress only option is becoming more sort after rather than the uniform dress with jacket. Bolder shades are also more popular with fashion- conscious women who are opting for re- wearable outfits that can be pulled from the wardrobe for other occasions, and designers are quick to pick up on that.

"Timeless styles and lightweight fabrics are replacing more structured shapes to allow your mum the freedom to dance the night away. However, it’s always important to remember that your mum has to feel comfortable and confident in her chosen outfit, so it’s essential she tries on lots of different looks, shapes and colours."

Penmaenuchaf completes transformation

Set beneath the slopes of Cadair Idris and overlooking the Mawddach Estuary, Penmaenuchaf has completed a four-year transformation reimagining the historic country house as one of Wales' most distinctive luxury retreats. Shaped by the Welsh concept of hiraeth, a deep emotional connection to place and a longing for somewhere that feels like home, the refurbishment was created in collaboration with renowned interior designer Nicola Harding, and brings together Welsh landscape, craftsmanship and storytelling across all fourteen bedrooms and the hotel's shared spaces. The final phase of the project marks the completion of a carefully considered programme. The remaining five bedrooms have been individually redesigned and named after Welsh landscapes, historical figures and mythology.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

New app launches to simplify one of marriage’s biggest admin headaches

Changing your name after marriage can mean updating details with countless organisations, from banks and subscriptions to official documents and employers.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
