Styling Tips for Mother of the Bride

After settling for the wedding dress, you’ll be wearing. It’s time to shop for your mother’s attire. In today’s blog, the mothers of the brides are encouraged to wear the outfits they love (with the bride’s approval, of course). It doesn’t have to be overly conservative, but it will be nice to know a few etiquettes.

1. Style:

Although the mother of the brides can pick their own dresses, we recommend avoiding see-through and skimpy dresses so your mother can feel she is dressed formally and appropriately. Anything with pretty ruffled sleeves looks not only flowy but also romantic. We all know those tacky mother-of-the-bride dresses that are full of lace and crystals. Trust us, that kind of style is totally outdated! Even though these designs may look a bit simple, pairing them up with accessories and putting that natural makeup will make it look effortlessly stylish and youthful. Check out our best sellers that are loved by our customers: Rosemary, Alberta, and Donna.

Does the bride pick the mother of the bride's dress? Think about this as a group project. Both sides’ feelings are important. Tips: ask the bride’s opinion on the color and the style before you go shopping.

2. Color:

Any color but white, ivory, champagne. Consider picking colors that look cohesive with the wedding color scheme. For spring we recommend colors such as dusty rose, dusty blue, and celadon. For summer we recommend colors such as seagrass, summer sunset, and frost. For fall we recommend colors such as salmon pink, burnt brick, and moss. For winter we recommend colors such as burgundy, dark navy, and grape. 

Does MOB dress color need to match bridesmaids? Absolutely no! Some brides prefer the exact same color, some prefer cohesive color, and some don’t have a preference. Tips: there is no ‘correct answer. It is good if the bride gives a green light.
