Mother of the Bride ???

Most of you know my daughter is getting married at the end of June - she's decided she wants to do a " themed " wedding ( dear God ) with everyone dressing up in their favorite era - so...............I'm thinking 60's.  Here's a few inspirations I've been looking at................and a few mood boards I created

                                          When I think of 60's elegance, I think of Jackie O
                                                                              Chic?

a little sassy? slit goes up to the thigh ( almost )

maybe I can go as a cast member of Gold Finger?

                                                                      Or Pretty in Pink?

Timeless - adorable - love the tiara!



Suzan Onassis ?


                                            My heart keeps coming back to this - a lot


                                                                     in the end - if I'm going 60's
                                                                I could end up moseying in like this


                                                                All I know for certain is I don't want
                                                                       to end up looking like this


Decisions, decisions, decisions,

Have a happy Saturday all
Hugs,


Partying with!

  2. Well! You certainly can't go wrong with Jackie O. Very chic! But a little Phyllis Diller at the reception might be fun! :)

  3. Congratulations on the wedding! I've never been to a theme wedding before. It will certainly be interesting. I channeled Jackie 0 at my own wedding. You can never go wrong with channelling her or Audrey Hepburn. Or even Phillis Diller. I think if I was at a party I'd rather hang out with Phyllis than the other two.

  4. You would look beautiful in anything but I really like the Jackie O look. You could always wear the Phyllis Diller shoes and gloves just to give it a little different slant. She was a hoot, wasn't she?
    I am off to a seminar for the day/night. We'll catch up later and NO- I am NOT tweeting you! xo Diana

  5. Oh, I totally ADORE Jacky chic from the 60's and that dress with the three strand pearls, is fabulous! You would look gorgeous in that!! I aLso love the long versions too, and anything by Audrey as well....and yes, why not!..the Phillis Diller green look with booties is my fav, LOL! Congrats on the upcoming wedding, sweetie.

  6. Love that picture of Jackie-O...almost giving the finger and then changing her mind at the last minute and turning it into a regal wave! Now that's class! I'm going to work on that move! You'll look beautiful in any of those...except maybe the last one, but you'll be the most comfortable in the fringed suede vest Suzan!

  7. Whatever you choose you will rock it! (And what about John, will he have to coordinate with you?)

  8. Jackie O always had class and style.....but Phyllis got the laughs! Congratulations on your daughter's big day! I say, go in something that makes you feel pretty, whether it is 60's hippie or classic chic!

  9. Suzan's gonna paint John's shoes just to give him hell!!! you watch and see!! LOL

    You'll look amazing in any of those gowns....but I say definately the hippie look for the reception! :-)

  10. The first couple if looks are adorable - you can never go wrong with Jackie, but the pink dress is a stunner as well!

  11. Well, you already have a similar name with SuzyQ, so the jackie look is a no brainer.
    My expert fashion advice is to go with the pink- especially if you are drawn to it. You'd be beautiful in the blue or the vavavavoom gold, too. A June wedding needs some pink and I love that she chose a theme wedding! So fun!
    Now, I adore Phyllis Diller's style...she was one crazy lady. I'd wear that outfit as a wedding guest, so it's a good thing I won't be attending. I love those boots. :)

  14. I think your daughter's idea is awesome!! How fun! I'm a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and classic black is always a winner, but I'm definitely a pink girl and to me the pink is also very Audrey Hepburnesque. I could definitely see Audrey wearing a tiara with the pink outfit too. Whatever you wear... you'll totally rock it Suzan!! I'd wear that vest and white dress as regular daywear. Very cool!

  15. I love the blue with the little pillbox hat - too cute, but I can see you swanning around in a tiara!

  16. Jackie had such class. The blue dress is very Jackie in its shape. But I love the pink one. I believe its shape might be easier to wear. As much as I adore Audrey (have a picture of her in my wallet), I don't think the black dress would be nice at a wedding.
    You're just lucky to have managed to pick up an era. I would still be hesitating between Middle Age butterfly sleeves, Jane Austen high waisted dress, the twenties low waists and cute shoes... No nineties colours, though, it would make the bride look pale!

    PS: Is John going as a sixteenth century pilgrim? Or can he pull the John Kennedy look? Maybe you should start calling him Jack!

  17. Have to agree with Tuula about the Hepburn look......don't forget the long cigarette holder. But there's one thing you can't not do - June Cleaver apron and pearls to serve the cake! These are gonna be the best wedding photos ever :-)

  18. I vote Goldfinger. Or Phylis.

  19. Aww what's wrong with Phyllis's look? You could totally pull that off. Remember those granny boots? Very chic...
    Ok fine...then stick with Audrey, she is one classy lady!

  20. It dosnt matter which look you choose you will look stunning and I mean stunning.The only problem is getting John to dress up to match.-love dee x

  21. The last wedding I attended in the 60's - HMM? Well, I wore elephant bell bottoms with an extremely low-rise waist, a bandana tied about my chest, and feathers woven through my long hair. But that was on a beach during a full moon. If it is daytime I think pink with a pillbox hat with a veil - love that Jackie-O!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey Girl! You could carry off any of these looks!! (even the fringed vest!, LOL) You will be stunning!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. They are all pretty snappy - but I like the Jackie O - you will be stunning. I bet it will be lots of fun.

  24. Suzan,
    Comb out Phyllis D's hair and plunk her in Jackie O's dress she'd probably look pretty good, but her attitude would still be funny and a bit saucy. I kinda see you that way too. My choice: Day wedding... Jackie O. Night wedding... Audry.

  28. I am chiming in with the Jack-O as well.
    How much fun is all this Suzan...a theme wedding, mother of the bride, wow lots to look forward to!

  29. Ice blue dress and sparkling accessories - gorgeous and classic 60's. I can see you in that Jackie dress! The pink is gorgoues, but it doesn't speak to the 60's as much - unless you did a big bouffant hairdo. Yeah, a beehive!

  33. Oh girl....you could rock ANY of those outfits! Love the idea of painting your shoes, though. Hey....maybe create a one-of-a-kind dress from paint-splattered drop cloth...???? lol

  37. Hardy, har, har! Phyllis Diller would be a hoot though. Be it dress or hairstyle, you'd definitely steal the limelight.
