Dress Etiquette
Traditionally, the Mother of the Bride selects her dress first setting the style and color choice that the Mother of the Groom will follow. In today's more relaxed planning, that may - or may not- actually happen.
Regardless, it is the Bride who sets the fashion tone for the Mothers' dresses when she buys her bridal gown and selects the venue for the ceremony and the reception.
Did she decide to tie the knot on a sandy tropical beach at sunset wearing a free-spirited Bohemian design that blows in the breeze? If so, the Mothers should follow suit and wear casual, but classy, informal maxi dresses or sundresses, as the barefoot bride says "I do". But remember, you still want to look polished even if the wedding is casual.
If the bride opted for a formal candlelight church wedding followed by a black-tie reception at a country club or hotel, then the Mothers should do down the aisle looking elegant and sophisticated in a long formal evening gown.
At Sydney's Closet, our selection of formal mother of the bride & groom dresses includes designs with sleeves and jackets if you prefer to have your arms covered for the wedding and reception.
If you have your heart set on wearing a treasured piece of jewelry, be sure to shop for a dress with a neckline that accommodates the necklace or earrings.
Always keep in mind, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Mark the special occasion by looking stylish and beautiful on the day of the wedding and in the photos that you will cherish forever. Save the trendy fashion for another day!
