Pantone Colour of the Year 2020 Classic Blue : Mother of the Bride feature



As mother of the bride you want your outfit to be timeless, classic, and above all elegant, but it can also be modern and subtly represent the trends and the times. The Pantone color of the year, classic blue, is a familiar, calming shade of azure, semi-vibrant and flattering, and can be perfect for a mother of the bride (or groom!) dress that wows!

The mid-blue hue is flattering for most skin tones and hair colours. Wear it or use it to accessorise at any of your wedding events. It can be dressed up or down and we have a variety of blue options at Helen Sykes Fashions, from daytime to evening for all of your mother of the bride needs.

Read on for some great mother of the bride dress suggestions in classic blue, and styling advice.


his simple day to evening style is a perfect example of how wearable classic blue can be. The design is clean and simple, the slight ruching at the waist and wrap skirt effect are incredibly flattering, and the three-quarter sleeves add the perfect modest touch for a ceremony in a church. It’s light and comfortable, so that you won’t have to worry about your dress when all your attention should be on the wedding. We especially love the modern flower trim to the left hand hip. The stretch fabric is unique to Chiara Boni and made in Tuscany, so the making is exquisite. To top it all Chiara Boni now have the PEF sustainability certificate and the entire process from yarn to delivery is entirely environmentally friendly!
