As the Mother of the Bride, you deserve to be the second most beautifully dressed woman at the wedding, just behind your daughter~ That’s why here at Prom Party Dress.com we have put together a very endearing collection of Mother of the Bride Dresses, and each of our styles comes in a number of different colors, so finding one that fits the particular color theme of your daughters wedding is easy to do. We carry a variety of more formal floor-length dresses, as well as some more contemporary tea-length dresses to suit your particular tastes.
We know that selecting a Mother of the Bride Dress can be a very frustrating task, so it is always helpful to begin selecting a dress as soon as possible, so that when the big day comes, you have a beautiful dress to wear to the wedding party. It is also a good idea to select a Mother of the Bride Gown as soon as possible, that way you can give the Mother of the Groom time to select a dress of her own. After all, the Bride’s Mother plays a leadership role, and must pick her dress first, and then inform the Mother of the Groom so that she can select a dress that matches the Mother of the Bride Dress.
When it comes to length, floor-length MOB Dresses are really the norm, and they are the perfect choice for a very formal wedding. Recently, there has been a new trend in wedding etiquette, and tea-length bridesmaid dresses have become very popular, so going with a tea-length Mother of the Bride Dress can also be a viable option. Again though, floor length dresses are always your safest bet, and a Mother of the Bride would look absolutely fabulous in a floor length dress, surrounded by bridesmaids in tea length dresses. A floor length dress would make the Mother of the Bride stand out, which is exactly what she should do.
When selecting a color for a Mother of the Bride Dress it is very important to try to make sure that the color blends with that of the wedding party. So, of course, it’s always good to wait until the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses has been selected. In this way you will look like one cohesive, and beautiful family! Of course, a little variation is always good, so you may want to select a dress whose is of the same color family as that of the wedding party, but which perhaps has a different tone or color intensity than the bridesmaid dresses. This will help give the Mother of the Bride Dress the uniqueness it requires to help it stand out among the rest. Let’s face it, the wedding day is a huge day for your daughter, but it is almost as huge for you!
When trying to select a Mother of the Bride Dress with a style that matches your character, it always helps to picture yourself browsing through an imaginary photo album of pictures from your daughters wedding. Try to imagine what you look like in those photos, and then pick a dress that really brings out the best of you. Sleeves are also an option, and Sleeved Mother of the Bride Dresses can really give you an air of sophistication and formality that just isn’t available with other designs. These types of gowns are perfect for winter and fall weddings, and very formal Catholic or Christian weddings as well. When it comes to choosing the appropriate neckline, always think of the formality level of the wedding, and what you are comfortable wearing. It is okay to show a bit of cleavage, but don’t overdo it~
All in all, choosing a Mother of the Bride Dress shouldn’t be a stressful process as long as you start early, coordinate with your daughter, and take your time to select a dress that will really make your greatest assets shine. This way you will be able to provide the confidence and support your daughter needs on her big day. Oh, and one last word of advice: purchase your dress early so that you have plenty of times to make alterations, because altering dresses is always necessary if you want to look your best!
