If you, the Mother of the Bride, can bring the bride with you to choose the outfit, it can save time.  When the Mother of the Bride is ready to buy, it is always a great idea to have somebody with you whose opinion you value, i.e., the bride or your husband.

Some of our customers use google and the internet to find and print some of the outfits they are interested in.  It’s a great idea to find out the cost of them.  This way you will know that it fits to your budget and you won’t end up frustrated.

It is useful to the shop if the Mother of the Bride lets them know what kind of wedding it is.  It may help them pick out the right outfit for you.

A mother and daughter came into the shop today and bought a beautiful banana dress and bolero by Linea Raffaelli.  The Mother of the Bride looked stunning.  We were pleased to supply her with a co-ordinating hat by the same designer and matching jewellery.  She was relieved to have the main purchase over.  We recommend shopping for the Mother of the Bride or Groom outfit or dress at least six months in advance of the wedding, but we were impressed with this Mother of the Bride being so prepared; she has over a year and a half to go before the wedding.  If you find the right thing, you’re best to take it in case it gets sold out.

We wish them the best of luck on the big day, a short distance from London and our shop near Bromley, Kent.

Have many of you up and coming Mothers of Brides and Grooms considered giving speeches?  It’s not traditional in the UK, but if it’s a trend internationally, please let us know.  We haven’t used this speech writer but would be interested if you know someone who has.

A groom’s parents came to Koulla at Le Chic Boutique recently, a bit weary from their adventures the day before.

They had been to Harrods, Selfridges, John Lewis and other smaller shops in central London.  They had had quite enough of the hassle  and bustle of a trip to London on a busy day, together with searching and fruitless trying-on outfits.  To top it all, they found “nothing there” and were disappointed as they thought a big city would have more choice.

When they got home they googled “Mother of the Bride” and found us.

The Mother of the Groom told Koulla, Le Chic’s owner, what she wanted.  With 23 years’ experience and hand-picked stock, Koulla knows which key questions to ask.  She then assessed the lady’s shape and colouring and offered two choices of outfit.  The Mother of the Groom was beginning to settle in for another long day’s searching but realised when she saw the outfits that she would have saved so much time to come to Koulla first.  She bought the first outfit, a beautiful lilac Condici outfit, with matching hat and jewellery.  She had got it in plenty of time for the wedding in October 2010.

She arranged some minor alterations and left delighted with her hat box to her car, parked at the door.  After the alterations, the Mother of the Groom rang back to say she was delighted and she would come in to look at smart casual wear in a few months.

Le Chic Boutique stocks sizes 8-24 as well as matching hats, fascinators, shoes, bags and jewellery.  Parking for one or two cars is available outside the door.

Don’t buy a Mother of the Bride hat…

… before you buy the outfit.  Even if you absolutely fall in love with it, it’s a mistake.

The chances are you will find it prohibitively difficult to find the right outfit to match the hat you like.  There are so many different shades of colour in outfits.

Please come in to see us at Le Chic Boutique in Bromley first (20 Minutes from London Victoria to Shortlands station).

Note to Mothers of Grooms:

It is a courtesy to let the Mother of the Bride to choose the colour of her outfit and to buy the outfit first.

I advise Mothers of Brides to go for subtle print outfits to wear on the wedding day.  That way you won’t see the photographs in years to come and think “What was I thinking at the time?”

A very satisfied customer sent her friend saying “the shop is tiny but Koulla knows her stuff”.  The friend came in very confused, saying “tiny??”.

We’re recently refurnished our shop making it a very ample 50 feet long (16 metres).  It’s so big the lady was wondering if she was in the right place.

But not everything has changed; Koulla still knows her stuff.
