    Looking for recommendations of boutiques, nationwide, where Mother of the Groom outfits are sold?

    It is a May wedding so Spring/Summer collection will be the order of the day. Also, are there any magazines out there that would give a fair idea of style etc. Looked at a few mags and they seem to cater mainly for well of course, bride and groom and mother of the bride but very little info for the OTHER MOTHER.

    Thanks

    Just after reading your post again - Would Mother of bride shops not do? I have always believed these clothes do both mother of bride and groom?:)

    Thank you for that. Of course, the outfits for both mother of bride and groom would be sold in same outlet. But I am hanging onto the idea that according to protocol, the mother of the groom is not supposed to `stand out` as much as the other mother! if you know what I mean, as in the colour chosen for MOG is suppose to be more mooted! Correct me if I am wrong.

    The locations you listed are within an easy commute of where I live so thank you again.

    Your Welcome, You will find something in either of the boutiques, both carry beautiful clothes.

    You are not wrong in what you think is right but I would have a totally different opinion to you! I suppose Everyone is different! :) I believe both women should be equally well dressed and both stand out as Mothers of bride and groom. I dont think Mother of Groom should be wear a mooted colour at all! :o
