The Mother of the Bride

Adapted from Barrie Pace website

Don’t forget You are the Brides Mother, you want to look fabulous! So do look around for a dress that you feel comfortable wearing! It is just as emotional time for you as it is for your daughter. So take your time and don’t give up until you know it’s the one. If it is a Church Wedding, you might want a dress that brings a jacket you can remove at the reception. Or a dress that doesn’t have spegetti straps or strapless. But you don’t need to wear the traditional grandmother dresses of the past. In these times, there really is no standard. And from what I have seen on a lot of bridal shops, there really is a much better selection out there for Mother of the bride than there has ever been. So have fun and enjoy shopping for your special dress.

If you are the Grooms mother, everything above pretty much applies to you too. You will want to look your best for your son’s wedding and for your future daughter in law, especially if there is going to be a mother and son dance!
Just try to coordinate with the brides mother & bridesmaids, so the colors don’t clash.
If you have any questions, you may email us at info@cafewedding.com
