Choosing a venue is one of the first decisions a couple makes when planning their special day. Somewhere that reflects them and their personalities, and has plenty of room for their family and friends are the main criteria when searching for the perfect location to tie the knot.

The countryside is an extremely popular destination for weddings, and it’s not hard to understand why. Peaceful surroundings, rustic charm, and breathtaking views create a delightful atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. Whether it be in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada or the UK, the romance of a country wedding is truly unique; and often you get to make a full weekend’s worth of memories if you’re staying a night or two near the wedding venue.

Country ceremonies can be held on a large or intimate scale, in a multitude of settings, such as a field, marquee, barn, a country manor house or by a river.  All of these create a magnificent backdrop for joyous celebrations and photos that you can cherish forever.

As the Mother of the Bride or Groom, choosing an outfit for the countryside that is comfortable from ceremony to reception is important—that way, as the second most important lady on the day, you look and feel your very best! 

Lucky for you, Living Silk has a range of options perfect for this natural setting.

Pure Silk Classic Wrap Shirt + Pure Silk Tea Length Pansy Skirt and Pure Silk Gown Length Pansy Skirt

This pure silk two piece outfit with sleeves is elegant and sophisticated, making it perfect for a Mother of the Bride or Groom attending a country wedding. The Pure Silk Tea Length Pansy Skirt and Pure Silk Gown Length Pansy Skirt are ideal—not too long that it will drag on the ground and not too short that it will blow up in a breeze. The Pure Silk Classic Wrap Shirt complements both Pansy Skirts lengths beautifully.  It has a 3/4 sleeve that cuffs back if you wish.  It is available in both opaque silk and sheer silk varieties. Slip on some wedges (ideal for a country wedding) to complete this stunning look.

This entire outfit is pure silk.  Pure silk keeps you cool in summer and retains warmth in winter, so you can wear this outfit comfortably in any season.

The wonderful thing about these two pieces is that they come in so many colours, which you can mix and match to suit your personal style.
