I think that any dress in this catagory would be age-appropriate and lovely! Also- SIRI has some really classic yet modern bridesmaid dresses that could easily be reworked into bridal attire. Lastly, I second the recommendation for Stephanie James- I think that her line of bridal suits would really be nice for a more mature bride.

While it is a tea length, vintage inspired dress, she also has some lovely classic vintage inspired gowns. Some of which would be perfect for a mother of a bride. Check out her blog for all her updated dresses. <a href="http://www.stephaniejamesblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stephaniejamesblog.com/</a> My dress is being made by Stephanie James Couture.

My mother wore a Jenny Yoo dress and jacket to my sister's wedding, and she's wearing a smiliar Lynn Lugo dress and jacket to mine. She looked stunning-- nothing like a bridesmaid, but not matronly, either. A wide range of colors are available, and white and ivory, too, if the bride wants to go a little more "bridal."

You can show her those to get an idea of what her tastes are. Also if she's going to be more "bride like", there is a beautiful but demur dress I accidentally tried on at Davids Bridal. Style V8835. Getting a better idea of her style will be very helpful in finding her outfit. Just my couple o' coppers!

So you can at least narrow the style field. If she actually wants one that more "bride like" and there is a Davids Bridal in the area, <a href="http://davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=2293&prodgroup=10" rel="nofollow">http://davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=2293&prodgroup=10</a> I tried that one on my accident, and while it was beautiful, it was just too mature for what I am going for. (in case that link doesn't work - its Style: V8835). Just my couple o' coppers for a variety of style options. Alfred Angelo’s Special Occasions collection has a wide variety of style and colors.
