Hi dear,
in the post of today I'll give you some tips to choose the
perfect dress for the mother of the bride.
The bride is the main attraction on her wedding day. Being the mother of
the bride is also an important role. Make sure you pick a special dress
for the occasion.
Choosing a mother of the bride dress can be a daunting task. You want to
look stylish, complement your figure, but also blend in with the bridal
party. Since pictures will stay around for years to come there are some
definite dos and don'ts to choosing an appropriate dress.
Here are some tips:
1)
Blend with the Bridal Party
Since most mothers will be seen
throughout the wedding, either during pictures or when helping with the
unity candle, the dress chosen needs to blend into the wedding party.
The dress should never be the exact same color as the bridesmaids, but
should go with the party colors rather than standing out. For example,
if the bridal party is wearing emerald green dresses, your dress should
be a lighter shade of green; almost a mint green. You might also
consider co-ordinating with the bride of the, since you will be sharing
many photos together.
2)
What don't wear
White is off limits. Only the bride should
be in white or even off white. In the pictures, the bride should stand
out when surrounded by her family and husband who are wearing colored
garments.
Never wear black. No matter how much you dislike your
new son-in-law or how slimming it is, black makes a completely negative
statement.
3)
Being Comfortable is Important
You will also need to consider
comfort and ease of movement when picking a dress. If the wedding and
reception are going to be sit down affairs, make sure you are
comfortable sitting in the dress. A shorter dress can be exhausting if
you are sitting and have to keep tugging it down.
However, if
there will be dancing and a lot of standing or movement, you will need
to feel comfortable moving about. A longer tight legged gown can make it
very difficult to move about the dance floor. Try to find a happy
balance.
4)
Attention to detailsPay more attention on details of the dress.
Details like ruching and lace in the blouse and a jeweled brooch on the
lapel of the jacket will help you stand out from the other wedding
guests.
but make sure her dress does not have more embellishment than the
bride's gown. If the bride's gown is simple and elegant, the mother of
the bride's dress should be simple, too.
Choosing a mother of the bride dress is a very important decision.
You’ll feel more beautiful and your daughter will be so proud of you,
when the dress you wear to her wedding is the best one for you.
