Mother-of-the-Bride Dresses
One of the most stressful parts of organizing a wedding is to
try and coordinate the choice of the mother of the bride dresses
with the rest of the outfits being worn. There is nothing worse
than having mother of the bride dresses that outshine the bride
or clash with others who will be in the official photos.
If you are the groom-to-be then you may be extremely worried
about the type of mother of the bride dresses that your future
mother-in-law may turn up in on your big day. Unfortunately it
usually falls to the bride-to-be to call on all her diplomatic
skills and discuss the issue with her mother.
The issue of how to decide on the perfect color and style that
the mother of the bride dresses in can be a complex one.
Obviously she wants to look her best too but she should not wear
an outfit that takes all the attention away from the special
couple. I know this has happened to a number of my friends.
If the color that the mother of the bride dresses in has the
potential to grab too much attention then she needs to be
persuaded to make another choice. Remember too that the
bridesmaids are going to have their own color theme and this
also needs to be taken into consideration.
By far the best types of mother of the bride dresses are those
that have simple lines to them and not too many frills or
accessories. The color should blend in and, if the bride is not
getting married in white, compliment her daughter's choice of
wedding dress.
Another extremely important point about how the mother of the
bride dresses is to take into account is the color of the outfit
that the mother of the groom will be wearing. Many a wedding
group photo has been marred by clashing colors.
Finally, the choice of outfit that the mother of the groom and
the mother of the bride dresses in should be different.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of couples who have not found out
that the mother of the groom and mother of the bride dresses are
the same before the big day!
