Today, in honor of Mother’s Day, we are diving into wedding fashion for mothers.
To help you overcome any confusion, we will cover everything related to etiquette, clarifying where to begin, explaining how to create a cohesive look, and looking at everything in between.
Join us for expert tips and guidance on choosing the perfect mother-of-the-bride dress while avoiding overshadowing the bride.
Challenges for Mothers When Shopping for Wedding Looks
Mothers often encounter several challenges when shopping for their wedding looks. These include the need to look spectacular yet understated while coordinating with the overall vibe and color scheme and adapting to changes in their bodies postmenopause. Those factors can make it challenging to find a dress that makes them feel fantastic while being appropriate.
The Mother's Dress
Julie and Dee find it rewarding to help mothers feel amazing in their chosen outfits, considering the attention and honor bestowed upon them as the event hostess.
Personal Experience with Finding a Mother's Dress
Dee shares an anecdote about helping her mom find a dress for her sister's wedding. Despite initial miscommunications about color preferences, they ultimately succeeded in finding a dress that made her mom feel beautiful and comfortable.
Etiquette and Rules for Mothers When Shopping
Traditionally, the bride's mother should shop for her dress before the mother of the groom buys her dress. However, that can vary. Mothers should not wear white, ivory, or anything similar to avoid overshadowing the bride. Communication is crucial to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding expectations and involvement in the dress selection. Some brides may want to see and approve the dress before their mother makes her final choice, while others may be more hands-off.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dress
Julie and Dee share valuable tips for choosing the perfect mother-of-the-bride dress. These include not ruling out strapless dresses, considering internal dress support, deciding on a train and bustle, choosing comfortable shoes, and communicating openly about dress changes. These tips will ensure a flawless and comfortable fit.
Addressing Specific Challenges
Julie advises mothers who struggle to find a dress that looks mature without being matronly to highlight their best features and opt for simplicity and sophistication in their dress choice.
