Wedding days are emotional. And that’s even more so if your daughter is walking down the aisle. If you’re shopping for a dress, here’s how to pick something perfect for your role as mother of the bride.
Shop Together
Shop for that dress with your daughter. It’s a great bonding experience, too, and helps you emotionally prepare for the day your girl says, “I do.”
Matching Lengths
You could also reach out to the mother of the groom and try choosing dresses with matching lengths for uniformity. It’ll look good in the wedding photos, too. You could also ask the shop to alter the hem if none of the mother of the bride dresses are of the right length.
Bring a Swatch
If you want the material of the dress to match or complement the gowns of the bridal party, bring a swatch of it with you when you shop around. That will make it easier for you to pick dresses that hit the mark.
Choose Specialty Stores
Look for a shop that specializes in wedding dresses. That will give you options to choose from. Whether you prefer classic and simple styles to trendier options, you’re sure to find those dresses from a specialty store.
Check Online
Don’t be afraid to buy online. Of course, you’ll need to take precautions. Pick a reputable online shop. Know your measurements, so you’re certain that the gown will fit. Also, pay attention to the material of the dress. These tips will help you pick the best dress for this special day.
Prioritize Comfort
Stylish options are great, but comfortable options are even better. You want a dress that’s stylish and still comfortable for you. It’s going to be a busy day, so thinking about getting something too tight isn’t ideal. You’ll want a dress that will allow you to move around with ease.
