While it is true that you have a lot of responsibilities and planning to do for your daughter’s wedding, selecting your dress for the great day should also be high on the list of your priorities. The age-old custom to look age-appropriate and wear dresses in washed-out cream or beige colors is long gone. Today, the bride’s mother can exude a glamorous look provided you follow a few do’s and don’ts.
Here is a guide for selecting the dress by the mother of the bride. • Follow the bride – Before selecting the dress ask your daughter if the couple has opted for a special theme. It might be a casual beachside wedding or a formal black-tie affair and you have to dress accordingly if you do not want to look the odd woman out in the wedding photographs. • The color of the dress – You can match the color worn by the bride and the bridesmaids but not the same shade. If they are wearing light cream go for a darker shade or light beige. Wearing the same color as the bride is strictly out. It is her great day and nothing should take away the spotlight from her.
Consider the weather and the venue – These are two critical components for a mother of the bride when selecting a dress. For a church wedding, do not wear a strapless dress which will be great for a beachside. Of course, you can wear the same dress and put on a jacket in the chapel. Keep the weather in mind too and take adequate protection if it is a chilly winter afternoon. Follow this dress code as the mother of the bride
