Friday, September 4th, 2009

First of all, it is very important to take the bride-to-be’s preferences into consideration when choosing the perfect dress. A discussion about this over coffee or at lunch is the first thing to do.

Since the wedding is such an important occasion in her daughter’s life, the mother should defer to the bride’s preference. The bride-to-be can relate her expectations for the style and hue of the dress. If the daughter has no specific opinion as to color or style, only then can the mother’s selection can be guided entirely by her own judgment.

Still, to avoid a disaster, a certain set of standards should be applied. The most important rule to remember is that the bride, and only the bride should wear white. Therefore any variation of white should be avoided by the mother of the bride, including dresses that are off-white or ivory in hue. Consider that deeper shades make a appropriate alternative. Traditional colors for the mother of the bride’s dress are champagne, sand, or taupe.

The more plain the color of the dress, the more ornamentation it needs to have. The dress must be conservative but should also make an impression, and accomplishing this task can be a bit tricky. It has become acceptable to wear black for a more unconventional wedding.
