Styles for The Mother of The Bride!

by Goddiva Account 29 Mar 2023

The wedding day is one of the most significant events in a mother's life, and choosing the perfect dress is just as important as it is for the bride. The mother of the bride (or groom) should look elegant and stylish while also feeling comfortable and confident. This blog will explore some of the top dress styles for mothers of the bride (or groom), including evening dresses, maxi dresses, midi dresses, short sleeve dresses, long sleeve dresses, and occasion dresses.

Maxi Dresses

A Maxi dress is a classic choice for a formal wedding. An elegant gown that can be worn in a variety of styles and colours. The great thing about a maxi dress is that it is versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the wedding's theme and formality. A sleek, blush evening dress is a timeless option, or for a more festive look, opt for a vibrant jewel-toned dress. To add a touch of sparkle, accessorize with a statement necklace or earrings. Another option for mothers of the bride is a shorter length maxi dress. This style falls between the knee and ankle and is perfect for a semi-formal or outdoor wedding. Choose a dress with a feminine silhouette, such as a fit-and-flare or A-line style, and pair it with strappy sandals or pumps.

Many mothers of the bride (and groom) prefer dresses with covered arms. There are several ways to achieve this look, including dresses with long sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, or capped sleeves. A dress with covered arms is an excellent option for a formal wedding, as it provides both coverage and elegance. To add a touch of glamor, opt for a dress with lace or sequin detailing.

Midi Dresses

Midi dresses are a great option for mothers of the bride who want a dress that is both elegant and practical. These dresses typically fall to the mid-calf, creating a sophisticated and demure look. These shorter dresses come in a range of styles, from simple and classic to more elaborate and embellished. A midi dress with short sleeves is a great choice for a summer wedding, while a long-sleeved midi dress is perfect for a winter wedding.

Jumpsuits

If you prefer a more modern look, consider a jumpsuit or a pantsuit. These outfits are chic and sophisticated, and they’re perfect for a wedding with a more contemporary feel. Choose a jumpsuit or pantsuit in a bold colour or pattern to make a statement, or opt for a classic black or navy for a more understated look.
