Wedding Wednesday: Mother Of The Bride And Groom Looks

 

Of course, we all know that it's the bride's day.  But let's not forget the Mothers. They both dreamed of this day for their children. Moms want to look their very best, yet not upstage the bride. It's a tricky balance, but it can be done. It goes without saying that both Mom's need to consult with the bride and see what color the wedding party is wearing. Then, select a shade that compliments and not clashes with the color palette. I look forward to the day that I am the Mother of The Bride. Until then, I'll just window shop.

Temperley London
This dress is just gorgeous. Pretty enough for the non traditional bride to wear herself.  Simply elegant!

Colorblock Satin Gown
Simple and smashing! This is one statement making gown.
Halston


Daymor Ruffle 
Metallic Taffeta Gown
Here's a youthful and feminine look that twinkles with sequins in the ruffles. Also available in Moss green.
Nordstrom


St. John Collection
Having a Fall ceremony? This is a chic and classy choice .  If you like it at all, you simply need to click and enlarge the image. The black trim is embellished with sequins.  The definition of a cocktail suit.
Neiman Marcus


Donna Karan Fall 2014
Chiffon Paneled  Dress
Mr. Shop This just attended a wedding where the mother of the groom wore red. He stated that she looked like a celebrity. If the bride doesn't mind, make a statement in this gown of perfectly draped layers.

Silk Lace Dress
The ultimate party dress.  Love the tulle peplum! It will cover a multitude of sins.

Ruffled Gown
This dress has been unbelievably marked down! I think it could be quite flattering. And a girl of any age is always pretty in pink.
Halston


ISSA Jersey Gown
Look familiar? This designer was made extra popular by Princess Kate. It is a sophisticated choice for any mom in a neutral taupe. Perfect if the bridal party is all ivory or soft peach.

Albert Nipon 
Jacket and Sheath Satin Suit
Pretty and polished, this is a lovely look for an afternoon affair. The coat would look great with dressy pants, too.

Embroidered Maxi
if you are a pastel person, this is a pretty piece for you.

Lauren Ralph Lauren
Two-Tone Ruffled Jersey Gown
I would not normally suggest that a woman of a certain age go sleeveless at a wedding (or any day) unless her arms look like this. This budget minded dress is perfect for the black and white wedding, or any formal affair.

these sequined separates would be perfect for a beach wedding, with its' sparkling sporty edge. It's glamorous but nonchalant.

Another statement making number that truly is modern elegance. Love the exposed zipper in the back, which gives it contemporary cache.
