First, you will want to consider the time of year and the location the wedding will be held.

Selecting the Right Length - Fall MOB Dresses & Gowns 2023

As the second most important person at the wedding, the mother of the bride or groom 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 and groom decide to go for a semi-formal or casual celebration, knee-length mother of the bride dresses make up the stylish option. Some of the popular styles in knee-length, casual Terani Couture Fall mother of the bride dresses include monotone, sequin, beaded, embroidery, and floral printed.

Consider the Straps of Dress For The Mother Of Groom & Bride

Gone are the days when the mothers of the bride or groom 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 groom dresses are the most popular choice in 2023. 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 groom or bride dress for fall must be layered with a jacket. 

Always Avoid White For Mother of the Bride & Groom Outfits

Both mothers of the bride and groom 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 groom or bride dresses and white printed mother of the groom 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.

What does the mother of the groom wear?

The mother of the groom should consider many of the same things as the mother of the bride - Time of the year, venue, colors, and style are all very important.

Ask your son and/or future daughter-in-law for their input is a great way to help you pick out a dress.

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 the Mother of the Groom 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.

When it comes to color choices, navy is the number-one most requested color for the mothers of the bride and groom. Other popular colors include blush and shades of nude. Traditionally, you want to avoid white, black and red.

What is an appropriate color for the mother of the bride to wear?

Try blues, greens, purples, and neutrals such as navy, emerald, plum, or silver. These versatile—and universally flattering—palettes make it easy for mothers of the bride and groom to harmonize. With pale green and blue hues, we love silvery shades for Mom, while jewel tones pair well with other rich colors.

How dress should the mother of the bride be?

Today, almost anything goes — so long as it's appropriate for the event. So, while you probably wouldn't wear a strapless dress to a church wedding, it might be just the thing for a beach ceremony. However, you can add a lovely wrap or, yes, even a jacket to that same dress and it instantly becomes chapel appropriate.

What should a 70 year old woman wear to her wedding?

Fit-and-flare wedding guest dresses for older women A fit-and-flare dress, knee-length or longer, can be chic and flattering. If the wedding isn't super formal, you could buy shop for something that's re-wearable — more of a cocktail dress vs. a ball gown.
