Tips for selecting Mother’s Gowns

As soon as the bride’s and bridesmaids gowns are ordered begin shopping for your gown. Most bridal shops usually stock a limited number of styles, colors and sizes, meaning you will need to special order your gown.

As in all fashion statements, wear what you love and makes you look good. Keeping in mind, of course, the overall formality of the wedding, your dress should compliment the bride’s choice and the wedding party. The bride may have an opinion on how she may want the mothers to look, so you may want to ask her thoughts on the matter. In addition, the mother of the bride and groom would do well to consult each other before making a final decision because you will be standing near each for photos and receiving lines.

One rule to observe is never wear the same color as the bride, and generally stay away from white. At one time black was considered inappropriate but now is very popular and elegant. Ultimately choose a color that compliments your skin tone and a style that flatters your figure. Invest in the nicest gown your pocketbook will allow. Remember, next to the bride people will notice your gown the most.
