O.K. Where to get an outfit suitable for a Wedding in a hot country.
If you have been to a Wedding in Turkey and have found a good website or shop for a lightweight Mother of the Groom outfit, please share your knowledge with me. I have a year to look but want to gather all the information I can.
All the traditional shops over in the U.K. seem to sell very heavy looking outfits. I see myself in something floaty and cool (no jokes please gentlemen).

Only ever seen the bride and groom dressed up at all the ones we have been to.

Sorry, but you are talking to someone who co-ordinates her outfit to go the the supermarket, there is no way I am wearing shorts and a tee shirt to my only son's Wedding.
This post is obviously from a man!!

Is the wedding to be indoor with aircon or outdoor [?] My daughter got married on the beach in the early evening sun and all the female guests managed to get their attire in the UK. Mind you I don't think we had any snobs there

We think it's going to be on the beach probably early evening.
Incidentally, did you know that people who believe there are snobs only do so because they suffer from an inferiority complex:D

Strange this mail is addressed to ladies and yet I get two replies from men

Jacqui my sister's wedding in Calis last year was in August- a year ago next week in fact and it must have been close on 40 degrees at 6pm when the ceremony started! Apart from the bride and us bridesmaids all the ladies ( and bear in mind we had 80 guests) seemed to opt for a variety of floaty summer numbers including the grooms mother who was a vision in purple and jade chiffon with matching hat!. Everyone dressed for the occasion including the lads. I think most got their ensembles the minute the summer stock appeared in the shops.

Maria, you all looked lovely. Glad to see that dressing up for Weddings is still alive and well in Turkey. Is that you in the black? Very glamourous!!
