The Spring/Summer 2026 wedding season promises celebration, romance and unforgettable moments and for the mother of the bride/ groom, it is a moment that deserves exceptional style. At Nicola Ross, the Mother of the Bride & Groom collection has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the sophistication, confidence and modern elegance expected from today’s discerning woman.
This season is about refinement without restraint. Dresses are luxurious yet wearable, contemporary yet timeless, designed to ensure you feel impeccably dressed from the first photograph to the final dance.
A New Era of Mother of the Bride Style
Gone are the days when Mother of the Bride dressing meant overly formal or restrictive silhouettes. Spring/Summer 2026 embraces a new vision: graceful tailoring, flattering cuts and elevated fabrics that move beautifully and photograph effortlessly.
The collection focuses on modern femininity, offering elegant midis and flowing full-length gowns, softly structured shapes and thoughtfully placed details that enhance rather than overwhelm. Whether the wedding is an intimate countryside ceremony, a chic coastal celebration or a formal church and hotel affair, these pieces are designed to feel perfectly appropriate while still feeling special.
Silhouettes Designed to Flatter
At the heart of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is exceptional fit. Dresses are shaped to flatter the waist, skim the hips and elongate the silhouette, creating a confident and polished look from every angle.
Key silhouettes this season include soft A-line and fit-and-flare dresses, fluid chiffon and crepe gowns that move effortlessly in warm-weather settings, structured midis with feminine detailing, and layered looks with jackets or overlays offering versatility for church ceremonies and evening celebrations.
Colour Stories for Spring & Summer Weddings
Spring and summer weddings allow for a beautiful exploration of colour, and the 2026 palette is both refined and uplifting. Soft, luminous tones dominate the collection, chosen specifically to complement natural light and seasonal florals.
Expect elegant neutrals such as champagne, pearl, soft taupe and ivory, romantic pastels including blush, powder blue, soft sage and lavender, and rich yet understated tones like navy, rosewood and muted berry.
Fabric, Texture & Detail
Luxury lies in the details. Fabrics are light yet indulgent from airy chiffons and fluid crepes to softly textured jacquards and delicate lace overlays.
Subtle embellishment is a key theme this season, with gentle pleating and draping, delicate embroidery, thoughtfully designed necklines and soft sleeves or sheer overlays offering elegant coverage.
Modern Elegance with All-Day Comfort
Weddings are long, joyful occasions — and comfort is essential. Clever tailoring, forgiving fabrics and balanced proportions ensure dresses remain comfortable from ceremony through to evening reception.
Styling Your Look
Complete your outfit with elegant headpieces or fascinators, soft metallic or neutral clutches.
The Mother of the Bride Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Nicola Ross is designed to celebrate one of life’s most meaningful milestones, offering timeless pieces you will cherish long after the celebrations have ended.
