Wedding Wednesday: Looks For The Mothers Of The Bride & Groom

{ Via: Alison B Illustrations }

Last week, my dear friend, Mollie, and I went dress shopping for her son's June wedding. We had the best time, and found the PERFECT dress in 27 minutes. Can you imagine that? Our trick was to find the dress that was most like her. There were three, and she picked the absolute best one.  That's my style advice for this shopping task. Buy what speaks to you, and makes you feel like the best version of yourself. If you are the mother of the groom, ask the bride's mother what she is wearing.  And finally, pick a complimentary color and style to the wedding party. You certainly want to compliment, not clash. This edit features something for every type of wedding, at all price points.

Navy Silk Taffeta Gown

Conservatively chic with a youthful bubble hemline. It's styled perfectly with the pretty pink clutch. 

Oscar De La Renta

Self Portrait Midi

The midi dress is the length of the season. Crafted from crepe that will be light as a feather. The lace detailing adds the femininity. So lovely.
