Tips for Choosing Mother-of-the-Bride-Groom Dress

Tips for Choosing Mother-of-the-Bride-Groom Dress. Love you mom! Wondering how to choose dresses for your mom or mom-to-be? In this guide, we are sharing how to help the mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom dress at your wedding!

Tips for Choosing Mother-of-the-Bride-Groom Dress

1. Ask for Momma’s vision and style

Talk about her favorite style of dress and how she envisions herself on your wedding day! She is, after all, ALSO walking down the aisle. So you want to make her feel extra special!

2. Comfort is everything for Momma

Discuss what her favorite fit is and what she feels most comfortable and confidently elegant in! We’re looking for a dress that she will feel good in and feel sexy! For example, is she into long gowns? Maybe a high-low? Flowy? Or a little snug?

Ask about her favorite material! Satin? Or probably something stretchy? Lace and tulle? These questions can help you when looking for the perfect Mother-of-the-bride-groom dress!

3. Compile photos

Now it’s time to browse! Put together an inspirational board based on what she has shared! If she already has a similar dress in her closet, have her try it out and check to see if that style is something that she would want to wear at the wedding.

4. Narrow things down

Now it’s time to get to the details. What color does she prefer and feel her best in? Do you plan to coordinate with the bridal party, or would you like to totally go for a darker tone? Or maybe a super chic beige or champagne-colored dress?

5. Book an appointment and try dresses on (also pop the champagne!)

Have fun with your momma! Or your momma-to-be! This is such a great time to kick off the relationship! So why not take advantage of this opportunity?

Bring your narrowed-down list to ensure that you make the most out of your time. If the dress consultant has input and probably similar options, keep your mind open as you might find dresses that you didn’t expect you will love!

Shopping and trying on dresses with champagne? What a great experience! Enjoy!

To help you with ideas on what style to consider, we share our top 12 favorites (classic and flattering!) Mother-of-the-Bride-Groom Dress from BHLDN! Everything from our favorite list is under $500!
