Ok ladies...big question...what the heck is Mom wearing??
So, recently at the bridal shop we have been having a hard time pleasing our MOBs and MOGs. Most moms don't want to wear the classic suit, or a dress with a blazer. But, they still want some coverage, especially on the upper arms. So, brides to be, what is YOUR mom wearing?
It's tough, especially for moms who want to dress young and trendy, but don't want to be exposed. We actually have a lot of moms who end up buying bridesmaid dresses!
Another thing that makes it hard: many mom's dresses are very very dressy. What if you are having a more casual wedding?
Here's some styles for moms that I think would work. A bit more trendy and not your typical MOB suit. Would your mom wear these?
Let's face it....mom doesn't want to look like an old lady! She wants to be hip and fashionable.
Ok, now here's another question. Once you've found your mom's dress....what COLOR does she wear? Well, keep this in mind. Your mom may not be part of the actual bridal party, but she will be in many photos with the bridal party. Mom's outfit should go with the bridesmaids dresses, but not be the same color. For example, if your bridesmaids are wearing cranberry, mom could wear a plum purple color. Find a good accent color that goes well with the rest of your theme, but doesn't look too much like the bridesmaids.
Many mom's dresses come in a variety of colors, so when shopping, don't pay too much attention to the color. Focus on style first, then choose a color once you know what style you want.
What is your mom wearing? Please share!
