We recommend Moms do a little research to figure out what vibe and style of attire they’d like to wear on their child’s wedding day. The traditional rules for Mothers have totally gone out the window; what matters is that you look & feel as confident as your child does. Take stock of styles you wear in your everyday life and what would make you feel comfortable on the wedding day. (If v-necks are a staple in your wardrobe, that’s a great neckline to look for in a gown.) There are many different dressiness levels for weddings these days. Some brides prefer black tie while others prefer a casual, rustic feel. Matching your look to the occasion is important, especially since Mothers are peripheral wedding party members. A sundress for an outdoor, down-to-earth wedding would be perfect, while a more formal gown would better suit a fancy, art museum wedding. Whether it’s a dress, jumpsuit, separates, or any combination, you can create almost any look!.

Take into consideration the wedding colors, along with what the rest of the bridal party is wearing. We like to have mother’s in a complimentary, but different, color than the rest of the women in the party. For instance, if the wedding colors are burgundy, navy, and gold, a great option for mothers is navy or even champagne. Coordinating colors that differ from the ‘maids dresses are a great idea to make mom a part of the group, but separate from the bridal party. Wear colors that compliment your skin & hair color. Doing so will allow you to feel and look your absolute best. While wedding party colors are important, don’t force yourself into an unflattering color simply because it matches the day. Finding complimenting colors to both the color palette and your skin tone is the best way to match, while still making sure you accentuate your features.
