First, you will want to consider the time of year and the location the wedding will be held. If it's a summer wedding, you might be outside so you will want to consider a short sleeve or sleeveless brides mom dress to stay cool. If the wedding is held during the winter - a long sleeve maxi dress might be a better choice to stay warm.

Another important thing to think about is fabric and color. Traditionally, the mother of the bride  dress shouldn't match the bridesmaids too closely but can complement what the bridal party will be wearing. We offer a wide selection of colors and fabrics in our mother of the bride outfits including chiffon, lace, ruched, sequin, beaded, floral prints and more to help you find exactly what you need for your son or daughter's wedding.

As the second most important person at the wedding, the mother of the bride deserves to dress up in a unique, mesmerizing dress. While several factors decide the appropriateness of the mother of the bride's dresses, the length plays an important role. A mother should generally wear a long, floor-length dress, especially when the wedding is formal. If the bride decide to go for a semi-formal or casual celebration, knee-length mother of the bride dresses make up the stylish option.

Consider the Straps of Dress For The Mother Of Bride

Gone are the days when the mothers of the bride  were expected to dress up in dull, traditional dresses. At Couture Candy, we have a wide array of unique Jovani mother of the bride dresses and mother of the groom dresses that evoke glamour. Strapless and spaghetti straps summer mother of the bride dresses are the most popular choice in 2024. When wearing the same, mothers should feel confident about their look. Don’t hesitate to use pins, rubber, or sticky tape if you want to keep the straps from falling. Also, a strapless mother of the  bride dress for fall must be layered with a jacket. 

Always Avoid White For Mother of the Bride Outfits

 Mothers of the bride  are supposed to avoid white dresses. After all, white is a bride's color, and you would not want to steal her spotlight. But if you are in awe of a white color, you can consider a white dress with bolder prints, details, or anything that does not look bridal. Floral printed chiffon summer mother of the bride dresses and white printed  fall dresses with jackets are some of the options you can say yes to. You can also go for a chic white dressy pantsuit to create a trailblazing MOB or MOG look. 

Coordinate With The Wedding Colors And Theme For Mother Of Bride Gowns

So, you have decided to go for your daughter’s dream theme for the wedding. Great! Now the question is, what dress do you pick to coordinate with the wedding colors and theme? If it’s an outdoor summer wedding, pastel or pink mother of the bride dresses will help look aesthetically pleasing. Green or emerald green mother of the bride dresses work like a wonder for a forest theme wedding. Go for sparkling rose gold or silver mother of the bride gowns if the wedding theme is “glitz and glam.” And, if you dream of hiding your age and looking younger than you are at a simple city or countryside wedding, the bolder black, blue, and navy mother of the bride dresses certainly make a perfect choice.

Mother of the Bride FAQs

Have more questions? We're here to help! Here are some of the commonly asked questions we receive when looking for a Mother of the Bride Dress:

When should you start shopping for a mother of the bride dress?

We recommend starting your search for a mother of the bride dress six to eight months before the wedding date. This allows for things like shipping and alterations to not interfere or cause any additional stress in the lead-up to the wedding day.

What does the mother of the bride wear?

The mother of the bride should consider several factors when choosing the dress for the wedding including the time of the year, the venue/location, colors of the bridesmaid dresses, and the style of the wedding. It's also important to consider your own preferences and what you will be comfortable wearing while entertaining wedding guests and looking your best.

It's considered traditional for the Mother of the Bride to wear something that compliments the bridal party but doesn't completely match.

Talking with your daughter about her visions for her wedding is a helpful way to get some direction.

Should the mother of the bride and groom wear the same color?

It's usually a good idea for the Mother of the Bride and to coordinate with each other so that their choices complement each other, but we don't recommend matching.

It's also a good idea to talk with the bride and groom to get their input - after all, it is their special day.

Can the mother of the bride wear black?

Traditionally, the mothers of the bride  can consider any color appropriate to wear at the wedding except for two colors: white and black. However, now that brides are opting for more nontraditional wedding dress colors down the aisle, moms are open to choosing dresses in any color that suits them.
We do recommend clearing it with the Bride before purchasing - just to avoid any additional stresses on the wedding day.
