Dress Shopping Tips for the Mothers of the Bride & Groom

The bride is the most important woman at the wedding, but there is a supporting role that is very important too. Our mother of the bride dresses are the perfect gowns to highlight the amazing woman that raised you into the person are today. You will want her to look and feel amazing on your special day, and Venus Bridal creates the most fashionable dresses to will do just that. 

Our Bella Intermezzo collection is filled with elegant styles that will make any woman shine. There are a few important things to keep in mind when shopping for this type of dress so that both the bride, the groom, and both of their mothers look their very best on the wedding day. 

Start shopping early

The earlier the search begins, the more likely you will have the time to leisurely find exactly what you want. You will also want to have plenty of time before the wedding day to pick out accessories and have any necessary alterations performed.  

Traditionally, the mother of the bride picks her gown out first, and the mother of the groom uses that dress to inspire what she chooses to wear. Shopping early will allow you each enough time to find the right gown.  

Coordinate with the other mother

As we mentioned earlier, the couple's mothers usually try to coordinate their looks. This gives the entire event a very unified feel. They do not need to match exactly, but they definitely will not want to show up in dresses that are too alike. Talking to each other beforehand can avoid possible awkward situations and hurt feelings. 

Ask the couple for guidance

Let the bride and groom fill you in on the color, theme, wedding party attire, and other details about the wedding. That way you can coordinate your dress with the overall look and feel of the celebration. It's their big day, so take the kids' (bride and groom) suggestions to heart. 

Stick to your personal style

Even though you should coordinate with everyone involved, don't stray too far from your own personal style. Your child wants to see you the way she/he knows you, not as some dressed up stranger. Be yourself and let your natural beauty shine through. 

Remember comfort

Weddings are joyous occasions, but the celebration day is a long one. Make sure that you choose a gown style that you are comfortable moving around in and wearing all day and night. At the end of the celebration you should look and feel just as fabulous as when you began the day.
