Once upon a time, the only places that weddings were held were either in the local parish church or at a registry office, and they were a whole family affair. Now however, happy couples are opting to get married on the beaches of exotic countries, at football grounds and in some cases, people have even got married at a zoo or whilst standing on the wings of a plane. With the variation in wedding venues, some may fear that the traditional role of the mother of the bride is now obsolete, but this isn’t the case.

From experience, here at Compton House of Fashion we know that no matter how independent your little girl has become, when it comes to her big day – whether she’s opting for a church wedding, a wedding abroad or a more bizarre ceremony, the truth is she will still seek your advice on the important aspects.

Traditionally, as the bride and groom plan their wedding day, as the mother of the bride, you will act as a sounding board for all their ideas, from the colour scheme, the flowers to have in the bouquet and one of the most important elements of the wedding; the design and style of the wedding dress.

Once the big day arrives, and your little girl – now all grown up – walks down the aisle looking like an angel in the wedding dress that you’ve helped pick, the guests will not be able to help but wonder where she gets her stunning looks from. Thankfully they won’t have to look far, as they’ll be able to see you looking like a princess yourself in one of our beautifully designed and fitting mother of the bride dresses complete with a hat or fascinator, available  all year round here at Compton House of Fashion.

Although wedding venues and weddings are changing as couples look for something unique that will make their wedding stand out, the role of the mother of the bride will remain the same. As mothers, it’s our job to offer advice to the happy couple leading up to the big day, and to remain looking elegant, stunning and absolutely beautiful throughout the service itself.

In the eyes of any mother, the moment that their little girl becomes all grown up is the moment that she gives her hand in marriage to her Prince Charming. At the exact same moment, your daughter will be relying on you just as much as she did when she was a toddler. This is because traditionally as mother of the bride you will shoulder a lot of responsibility for the smaller things that make the wedding run without any hitches.

Here at Compton House of Fashion we understand how stressful it can be taking on the responsibilities involved with being the mother of the bride and we also understand that you want to do right by your son / daughter and your future son / daughter in-law.

The main bit of advice that we here at Compton House of Fashion can pass on, is that it is your daughter’s day. This simply means no matter what you’ve dreamed about when thinking about your daughter’s wedding, or your thoughts on her colour scheme and choice in flowers, what she says goes. However, it’s your responsibility to make sure she gets what she wants and that it all arrives on time.

Along with organising the timings that the cars and photographers arrive, as mother of the bride it is important that you look at your best, without outshining your daughter. Here at Compton House of Fashion we’re on hand to help you achieve this by providing a stunning collection of mother of the bride / mother of the groom dresses in sizes 10-24, to suit any budget. Our team will also be able to offer their help and advice on what looks good and what hat/fascinator will go with the outfit.

With the range of dresses that we have available here at Compton House of Fashion, we can ensure that as the mother of the bride you won’t experience the horror that we all dread – another woman turning up at the ceremony in the same outfit! So if you want to look the part as you watch your little girl or boy take those first steps to starting their own family, why not visit us?

It’s no secret that every little girl dreams about her perfect wedding when growing up. Countless times they’ll have come up with images of what they want from their big day, from the dress that sparkles and oozes elegance, through to the church looking spectacular as the sun beams down on it – and friends and family enjoying the day’s celebrations. What many people don’t realise is that the mother of the bride/ mother of the groom also dreams about the day, from the moment her little one comes into the world.

Traditionally all eyes on the day will be on the bride and groom as they stand in front of their loved ones. However, here at Compton House of Fashion we know that it’s important for proud mothers to look just as stunning. This is why, for over the last twenty years we’ve been providing the mother of the bride or mother of the groom with an excellent choice of beautiful outfits.

We want all our customers to feel comfortable and look fantastic in any outfit they like, which is why everything we sell is available at affordable prices. Whatever type of wedding your daughter is having, we’ll have the outfit to suit the day.

Here at Compton House of Fashion, we know how important it is for you to look and feel beautiful on your daughter’s big day, which is why with advanced notice; we can provide a personal shopping service to make sure the outfit you go away with is perfect for the day.
