Experiment with Lengths

The mother of the bride no longer has to wear a gown that sweeps the ground. Now more than ever before, the mother of the bride is encouraged to try different lengths. Wide varieties of hemlines are definitely available!

Colors that Pop

Don’t be afraid to have fun with color! Our style consultants will assist you in finding the perfect color to compliment you and look great in pictures. Mothers are not required to match the wedding party (they are not senior bridesmaids!) but they should wear flattering tones that complement the overall look of the big day. We are here to help you with this selection process. We are color and style experts, so relax!

Lace-Not Just for Brides

People expect to see lace on the bride’s dress, but the newest trend is for the mother of the bride to wear lace as well. Lace accents look stunning on the mother of the bride. They enhance her look and help her stand out as a stylish and sophisticated mother.

Different Necklines

The mother of the bride can wear strapless dresses, halters, or any other type of neckline she chooses. Mothers should feel perfectly comfortable wearing the styles they love! Jackets and wraps are options, but not required! The mother of the bride should be elegant and fashionable at her daughter’s wedding.
