It is clear that the
bride’s and groom’s mother should wear dresses that coordinate with the overall
look of the whole wedding, no matter the style or the color. For it is
important that all the dress complement each other. But this doesn’t mean that
mothers should wear conservative and formal dresses, below you will see the
guidelines to enable you find proper mother of the bride dresses.
What Not To Wear
White,
is the first that mothers should avoid. If mothers wear white, they will look
closely resemble the brides, which is very tacky. And if mothers want to wear
black, they should consult the opinions of the bride. Though black is a
standard color for evening wear, it can stir up controversy when it comes to
wedding. In the past, if mothers wear black, it meant that they did not approve
the wedding; today, black will also cause a flurry of gossip. So it is wise to
consult bride’s opinions.
Dressing Guidelines for Mothers
For a very formal day or evening wedding the mothers should wear floor-length gowns and these gowns should
NOT be white. Wear heels that are appropriate for the dress but try to select
comfortable shoes. Coordinate your accessories but leave the watch at home! For
a formal wedding the mothers should wear corsages or carry small bouquets.
For a semi-formal day or evening wedding the mothers should wear a street-length dress, again, it should NOT
be white. Heels and accessories should coordinate with the dress. For a
semi-formal wedding the mothers should wear corsages.
For an informal day or evening wedding the mothers should wear a suit or nice "Sunday" dresses,
again, it should NOT be white. Or, if the informal wedding is being held at the
beach or some other fun or unusual location, the mothers should dress
appropriately. Heels and accessories should coordinate. For an informal wedding
the mothers should wear corsages.
