SOME TIPS FOR FINDING THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE’S DRESS
-START EARLY-
We recommend that you start looking for a dress for the mother of the bride and/or groom at least three to six months before the wedding. This gives you enough time for fittings and any alterations to avoid last-minute stress. You’ll have plenty of time to find the perfect cut, color and accessories.
-COORDINATE WITH THE BRIDE AND GROOM-
Planning a day of fittings with your daughter or son can be a great way to share a special moment and make sure your outfits match. What’s more, it’s an opportunity to spend time together and receive valuable advice. Don’t hesitate to consult the groom’s or bride’s mother as well, to avoid any style confusion.
-CONSIDER THE THEME AND VENUE-
The style and theme of the wedding should influence your choice of dress for the mother of the bride. If the wedding follows a specific theme or takes place in a particular venue, it’s important to take this into consideration when choosing your outfit. For example, a formal gown would be more appropriate for an evening wedding in a chic hotel, while a light, flowing dress would be better suited to an outdoor ceremony.
-FOCUS ON COMFORT-
You’ll probably spend many hours standing and socializing at the wedding, so make sure you choose a dress in which you feel comfortable and free to move. Make sure it allows you to dance and sit without difficulty.
-OPT FOR TIMELESS CLASS-
Mother-of-the-bride dresses are often more classic and elegant, so opt for styles that enhance your figure. Long or midi dresses are generally preferred, but be sure to choose a length that suits you.
-ACCESSORIZE WITH CARE-
Accessories can transform a simple outfit into an elegant fashion statement. Opt for delicate jewelry if the outfit is loaded with detail. On the other hand, if the dress is simple and modern without too much detail, you can have fun with fancier jewelry: more imposing and more colorful! Make sure you also opt for a matching bag and comfortable yet stylish shoes.
-CHOOSE FLATTERING COLORS-
Avoid wearing white (to avoid competing with the bride) or black (unless specifically requested by the bride). Instead, opt for tones that complement your skin tone and harmonize with the wedding color palette.
