Designer Clothing Guide

There are certain customs that the mother of the bride usually follows when it comes to her daughter’s wedding: assist in the planning of the wedding, act as a buffer when there are problems, deal with the ‘busy work’ and, not least of all, wearing the right mother of the bride attire. It is customary, but not required, for the mother of the bride to have first choice when it comes to the wedding attire. The mother of the groom or bride usually follows after what the bride has chosen with regards to the style and colour of her outfit. Gray and Osbourn have a wonderful mother of the bride collection for any style of wedding.

Mother of the Bride Attire Etiquette

There are some basic rules for the mother of the bride when it comes to the wedding attire. When looking at a mother of the bride collection consider the following:

    Styles, lengths and colors – for the mother of the bride the outfit must be classy and elegant. Do not choose something that is too short or revealing. The perfect length for a mother of the bride dress is floor length or knee length. Try to avoid bright colours and rather go with something more neutral.
    Accessories – accessories should not be over done. You can add a beautiful necklace, earrings and even a corsage. Try to wear understated heels that match with your hand bag.
    Season of the wedding – the season of the wedding is very important to consider when choosing the right outfit. For summer, lighter fabrics and colors can be considered; for winter heavier fabrics and colors will be more appropriate.
