People always say that the two things you will keep from your wedding day are your rings and the photographs. You may wish to have your mum as a key feature in your wedding photographs. If so, we've put together some of the loveliest Mother of the Bride photos from our Real Weddings to inspire you for your own wedding day photos.
Getting Ready
On the morning of your wedding, why not get some heartfelt photos of you getting ready with your mum? We love this photo by Joab Smith Photography of Ellie's mum taking a snapshot of her beautiful daughter. Doesn't she look gorgeous?! Ellie and Kevin were originally going to wed in Spain, but due to COVID they moved their wedding to the beautiful Grittleton House in Wiltshire. Take a look at Ellie and Kevin's real wedding to get inspired for your wedding day.Â
Personal Moments
We love this photo of Eve's mum taking a personal moment with her beautiful daughter, just before the ceremony. Eve and Adam had a stunning wedding at Fairyhill in Wales, with only 30 guests due to COVID restrictions! You can see more photos of their special day by Marc Smith Photography by taking a look at Eve and Adam's real wedding.Â
The Ceremony
Among our favourite Mother of The Bride photos is this fantastic shot by Dave Perry Photography. It's beautiful to see a very proud mum watching Chelsey and James tie the knot. This gorgeous couple celebrated with a stunning Christmas wedding. If you're planning a winter wedding too, then take a look at their real wedding for some truly magical wedding inspiration!
Candid Moments
Ask your photographer to capture some candid shots of both your wedding guests and of your mum during your drinks reception. This gorgeous photo by Lee Daniels Photography captures the Mother of The Bride's beautiful, genuine smile! Sophia and Ben had an elegant, fairytale barn wedding, with a gorgeous hot pink theme. Why not get some inspiration from Sophia and Ben's real wedding?
Mother of The Bride Speech
A huge trend in weddings this year is for the Mother of The Bride to give a speech! Your photographer can capture some incredible moments of laughter, happy tears and more. We absolutely adore this photo from Michelle and Ben's stunning dusty rose and gold themed wedding reception at The Olde Bell, Hurley. Read more about their Real Wedding and see the stunning photos by Nigel Chapman Photography to get truly inspired!
