Says:
Take your fashion cues from the bride.
It's the wedding dress that determines what style the
mother of the groom or mother of the bride dress you should
wear.
Style:
If the bride is wearing a traditional wedding gown with
a long train, the Mother of
The Bride and the Mother of the Groom should also wear
formal dresses for such a special occasion. Many brides
today wear strapless wedding dresses. Mothers of the Bride
and Groom who don't want to bare it all can wear a strapless
gown with a shawl or jacket. If the bride is wearing a
tailored suit or short dress, the motherscan take their
cue and wear a dress that's short or a suit with a short
skirt. Also consider the time and place of the wedding
and any dress code that will
appear on the invitation to guide what guests should wear
such as Black Tie.
Color:
Mothers of the Bride and Groom should consult with the
Bride before they
go shopping for their dresses. The bride, your daughter
or future daughter-in-
Law, may want you to wear a particular color or shade.
If the bride leaves the color up to you, select a color
that coordinates
with the dresses worn by the bridesmaids. For example,
if the bridesmaids are wearing pink, the Mothers might
select a dress in shades of rose, But it doesn't have
to match.
Ultimately, it's best to select a color and style that
looks best on you because
It flatters your figure, your skin, and hair tones.
