Dress Ideas for the Fashionable Mother of the Bride

All eyes will be on the bride, but her mother (and the groom’s mother) still have to look fantastic for the wedding. While the standard fare for the mothers of the bride and groom used to be fairly dowdy, this is no longer the case. There are plenty of fashionable dress ideas for today’s mother for the bride or mother of the groom.

Formal and Fabulous

For a formal wedding, the mothers can opt for a full-length evening gown. Three-quarter length sleeves add a glamorous touch to these styles while giving you a bit of extra coverage.

Fun and Flirty

Shorter length dresses are wonderful for mothers of the bride and groom. They allow you to show off your legs while still maintaining an age-appropriate and role-appropriate style.

Additional Accessories

Another thing for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom to consider is their accessories. These include items such as boleros and capelets that can give a nod to skirt suits while still being on trend.

Colorful Choices

The mother of the bride and mother of the groom should wear a color that is in keeping with the wedding colors, but not the same as the bridesmaids. You can also opt for neutral tones, with dusty pink, dark silver, and champagne being traditional and stylish choices.

The best way to find the perfect dress for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom is to come to our Gilbert bridal salon. We can help you find the perfect dress for any occasion, whether you’re the bride or her mother! Give us a call today to find out more!

What to Wear as a Wedding Guest

Planning a wedding can be a challenge, but when you also need to figure out what to wear as a wedding guest, it can be a real struggle. You might be more concerned with your own big day, and that's understandable. This doesn't mean you shouldn't put in the most effort possible to find the perfect style for your time as a wedding guest, though!

When you're a bride-to-be yourself, you know how important it is that the guests come dressed appropriately. You know that you want to be the focal point, and that you also don't want guests getting mistaken for members of the wedding party. You want your guests to dress according to the style of attire you've requested in your invitation.

As a guest, keep all of this in mind. Pay attention to what the couple have requested and stick to it. If they haven't specified in the invitation, don't be afraid to ask, too. Stick to the old etiquette rules about not wearing white and dressing for the type of event, and you should be fine.

Of course, if you're still at a loss, ask our expert dress advisers. They can help you whether you're choosing your wedding dress or need help finding the perfect style to wear as a guest. To find out more, give us a call or come by our Gilbert dress shop!
