Mother of the Betrothed In Paris

Welcome to the first of a month-long series dedicated to dressing the Mother-of-the-Bride (the Mother-of-the-Groom is a major player as well). It seems only appropriate to think about her/their special role and dress them accordingly.

Once again I've turned to my great pal and creator of the brilliant Vivienne Files to pull together wardrobes that will have all eyes focused on the MOB -- after the bride of course. But there is after all an Academy Award for best supporting actress. That's how I envision the second roles.

To stay on message in this space only one rule applies: all are destination weddings. All are in France. 

You are all invited to the ceremonies. . .
