Mother of the Bride Attire Options

If your son or daughter is getting married in the near future, you’re probably ecstatic. At the same time, your child’s wedding may be a source of some stress in your life. You may have to help plan and prepare for the wedding. You may have to provide your child with advice and reassurance if they are feeling nervous about anything related to the upcoming marriage. And you’re going to have to find the perfect outfit to wear, which can be the most difficult and stressful part. If you’re having some trouble figuring out what to wear to look stunning at your child’s wedding, consider these options:

I. A sequined, V-neck gown:

Sequined dresses have made a comeback recently, and that’s a good thing! Sequined dresses show off curves and tend to have a slimming effect on waistlines. Full-length sequined gowns are usually your best bet for a wedding, since they tend to be appropriate for the most formal of occasions. If you decide to go with a sleeveless sequined gown, you may want to pair it with a matching sequined jacket for some extra pizzazz.   For an alternative, take a look at this V-neck long, tank dress from Simply Silk that can easily be paired with a jacket such as our Simply Silk Burgundy and Green Kimono Jacket.

II. A mock two-piece dress with waistband:

This type of dress creates the optical illusion of being a shirt and skirt. If a mock two-piece dress interests you, you may want to consider investing in a dress design that includes scalloped fabric on the upper half of the dress and a smooth, A-line skirt portion on the bottom half of the dress. The scalloped upper half will bring attention to your upper body. A thick waistband that includes some kind of fabric flower embellishment is a nice touch to add some flair to the dress.

III. A taffeta gown with portrait collar:

Taffeta doesn’t cling to your body in the same way other fabrics do, and it’s one of the most elegant fabric choices available. A portrait collar, in conjunction with a ruched bodice, will draw attention to your neck and shoulders. A dress of this kind looks great with three-quarter length sleeves and an A-line skirt that lands about two centimeters above the floor.

So, consider the attire options above and get ready to look fabulous at the upcoming wedding!
