How to choose the mother of bride outfits

Sept. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- If you want to wear a mother of the bride dress, you have a variety of lengths, styles, fits and designs from which you can choose. You can choose between formal gowns and more casual dresses. A-line mother of the bride dresses, tea length mother of the bride dresses, and floor length mother of the bride dresses are just a few of your many choices.


Mother of the Bride Separates

It’s also worth mentioning that you could buy a formal dress and then separately purchase a dressy coordinating jacket, bolero, or wrap to wear with it. It is also possible to buy separate dressy bottoms (pants or skirts) and pair them with separately purchased dressy tops (blouses or jackets) Just make sure that if you choose to wear separates, your outfit is appropriate and formal enough for the wedding.

Always consult your daughter first before choosing the color of your outfit. She may have a particular color in mind that she wants you to wear. One option she might suggest is to wear a color that compliments or coordinates with the color her wedding party is wearing. If she has no preference in the color of your outfit, make sure that when you choose your mother of the bride outfit, you don’t pick white or ivory (as that color should be reserved just for the bride). All back or dark gray suits may look too business-like so it’s best to avoid those colors. You want all eyes to be on your daughter, so it’s a good idea to avoid any colors that are too vibrant or flashy and that might distract from the bride. Traditionally, mother of the brides didn’t wear black dresses to a wedding. Today, some mothers do wear black dresses, but many people still feel it is not appropriate. If you are considering wearing a black dress, make sure this is okay with your daughter and her fiancee.
