 To create a look that’s both stylish and comfortable, it’s important to wear a dress that suits the bridal party colors, avoiding any shades of white, and keeping the dress code in mind (formal? Casual? semi-formal?) We love a mothers dress that complements the bridal party without perfectly matching them to make sure you stand out, because you deserve to! Choose a color within the same family, like a rich blue, green, or blush, depending on what the color palette is for the wedding.

If you’re not sure what length to go with, think about the setting and dress code of the wedding. A formal evening wedding calls for a floor length gown, while a cocktail or more casual event allows for a chic tea length or midi dress. 


You’ll also want to keep your fabric choices in mind. We always recommend starting with the season, as you don’t want to risk overheating in a heavier fabric during the summer months or freezing in a thinner material during the winter months. This is the best way to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible!

Ultimately, if you want to feel beautiful and comfortable, choose a dress that allows for maximum movement and fits the weather. You can never go wrong with a sleek mother of the bride dress that is versatile, either - detachable options or matching shawls make for a fabulous two in one look that can help you transition seamlessly between the ceremony and reception.
