Mother Of The Bride Wedding Dresses


o Discussing with the bride on which mother of the bride dress colors are appropriate for the wedding.

o Mother of the bride can choose her color or colors then. She can choose a mother of the bride dress by going to the department stores or bridal shops that carry mother of the bride dresses and gowns or she can even go with a nice, embellished suit.

o Mother of the bride will choose a color that complements the wedding color/colors.

Ivory is acceptable too--it is no longer taboo at weddings (or even black--"black and white" weddings!), if the bride agrees to it.

o Mother of the bride can then decide on the length of the dress. Will she be happier with a long, floor-length gown, or will she look better in a more semi-formal, tea-length or even knee-length style?
