The Mother of the Bride Dress
Selecting the Mother of the Bride Dress can be a challenge. While certainly not nearly as important as the wedding dress, it is still and important choice.

There are several things to consider when choosing the dress that the bride’s mother will wear on the wedding day.
Keep These In Mind
First
The style, even including the length of the dress needs to be considered when making your choice.
A dress that is appropriate for an evening wedding would probably be too dressy for a morning wedding.
Second
The color of the dress should be complimentary to the rest of the wedding colors and should also please the bride. You want thw Mother of the Bride’s dress too look lovely with the bridal party, not stand out too much.
Third
The bride needs to like the style of the Mother of the Bride dress. Consider having a Bride and Mother of the Bride shopping day to find Mom’s dress. It would be a fun, girl’s day and provide an opportunity for the bride and her Mom to find and agree on a dress for Mom to wear.
This Mother of the Bride dress looks elegant and will coordinate perfectly with the style of the bride’s wedding while being appropriate for this mother to wear.
Fourth
There is a huge variance in dress prices. And lovely dresses can be found at every price point. Set a budget that you are comfortable with and make sure that the dress shop is clear on what that budget is. That way, they will only show you dresses that are within your budget and not dresses that you fall in love with but cannot afford.
Where Do I Look For A Dress
Now that we have discussed different factors in selecting the right Mother of the Bride dress, the question becomes, where to look for the right one. Our suggestion is that Macy’s has an amazing selection in all colors and lengths. They are beautiful and offer a large price range to fit practically any budget and style.
Finally
There is no such thing as a Mother of the Bride dress. You want to look stylish and pretty and be dressed
appropriately for the theme, season, time of day and style of the wedding.

It’s important that the Mother of the Bride feel fashionable, comfortable and like what she is wearing. That way she
can concentrate on enjoying her daughter’s wedding day and not be distracted by the dress she is wearing. Choose
what feels right, not necessarily what a bridal shop tells you is a Mother of the Bide dress.
