Dress shopping should be fun, not stressful. Here are some tips:
Ideally, you should start shopping for your mother of the bride dress six to eight months before the wedding date, leaving room for shipping time and alterations. This is enough time to give yourself to find a dress that you love.
You’re going to want to consult with the bride on colours and her vision for the big day.
Stick to what you love and feel comfortable in. If your signature look is classic, now is not the time to start experimenting with satin and pink bows. You should want to be the best version of yourself, not a bad copy of someone else.
Mother of the bride dresses don’t have to look matronly or conservative. You’re allowed to consider strapless, one-shoulder, tea-length and jacket-less options.
If in doubt, keep it simple with modern silhouettes; a well-cut cocktail dress, or an A-line gown are suited best for the occasion.
Accessories offer the chance to really dress up an outfit and add your personal touch. If your outfit is a classic cut in one colour, you can go bold with your jewelry and shoes. If you are wearing print, elegant metallic or nude accessories are the perfect finishing touches.
Everything looks good with confidence.
