Your daughter’s wedding day is a big milestone in your life as it is in hers. It is the day when everything should be perfect, ranging from decoration and flowers to the protocol, dresses, and makeup. That is why you should arrange some things for the big day. One of those things is choosing and buying the mother of the bride dress.
First of all, you should talk to your daughter, and ask her if she has something special for you to wear, or you are free to choose whatever you want. Some brides already have in mind what they want their family members and bridesmaids to wear.
Before you go shopping, there are some rules that you should know. The mother of the bride dress should never be the same shade as the wedding dress. You should also consider some bright colors, instead of going in all-black outfits. Make sure that your dress is made of good quality fabrics. After all the weddings can last all day long.
How to Pick the Right Dress?
You should plan your shopping in advance to avoid the stress and to have some time to take a close look at the variety of dresses viable for this event. If your daughter said that she has no special wishes for the cut and color of the dress, then you can buy whatever you please.
The first and the most important is to buy the dress that is flattering to your body. You will be moving around so be careful when you are choosing the long length dresses.
For this fashion season, the designers recommend wearing a lot of sequins and a beautiful lace.
Let’s see some of the models that you can wear.

How to Pick the Right Color for Your Dress + Outfits
You have to find out whether your daughter has planned something special for the wedding day. If she would like all her members to be in some special color, it is important to follow through that wish.
But on the other hand, if she said that you can wear whatever you wish, then you should proceed carefully to choosing the colors. Think about wearing champagne or silver in place of white, or midnight blue instead of black.
You can also wear soft pink, burgundy or beige if you prefer that kind of shades.
