Mom’s the Word

We thought finding the ultimate Wedding gown was tough, but wait until it’s time to shop for mother of the bride dresses! The never ending search for the perfect shade to coordinate with the bridal party, a flattering fit and cut to suit the occasion, and the need to make your Mom feel a million bucks on your big day… It can easily become a pressure-cooker type situation, but one that can easily be solved with a few simple tips.

1. Chose your Wedding gown first. It’s easy for Mom to get excited and start the search for her outfit straight away, but best to wait until the Bride has made her final decision so Mom can follow suit.

2. Narrow down Colour Options. Chose a palette with several tones to suit your Wedding day theme. Complimentary colours similar to that of the Bridal party will work well, or go for elegant Neutrals to suit any type of event.

3. Dress for the occasion. So your having a black-tie affair? You in a Cinderella ball-gown and your groom in a gorgeous tuxedo? If that’s the case then Mom’s attire should adhere to the dress-code too. A cocktail dress or knee-length suit may not be the answer, so rather chose a more suitable style.

Once you’ve narrowed down your options, head to David’s Bridal for an astounding selection of stylish and contemporary Mother of the Bride attire. With styles to suit any celebration in a selection of flattering shades to please even the fussiest Mom’s, it’s sure you make your search just that little bit easier. From floor-length Wrap Gowns in Iridescent Taffeta to 3/4 Pleated Chiffon Cocktail Dresses with matching lace boleros… Mom’s the word at David’s Bridal and she’ll be a well-dressed, happy one at that. ♥
