Weddings are dreamy affairs. And more so, if your daughter is the bride. In most stores, mother-of-the-bride dresses are available in every rainbow colour. This could get intimidating. So, mothers are usually delighted to let their daughters pick out their wedding day attire but still want to know what they should ideally wear.
The first thing to note is that grey is the new black. If someone is looking for a colour for their child’s wedding that will go with all other colours, then grey is the best choice. It is a neutral color and therefore can be worn at any event. Grey also comes in many shades, which means it can be worn by women of different ages, body shapes and skin tones. Grey shade is one of the best colours for mother of the bride dresses as they have an air of sophistication and elegance.
Apart from grey, there are also very stylish options for mothers to wear at weddings and other formal occasions such as church services or dinners where family members or friends get together.
Exploring different colours
Nude, blush and champagne are famous, as are pastel colours such as mint, lilac and peach.
Nude is a great colour for women of all ages. It works well with your skin tone without overpowering or making a person look washed out. Many stores will have a nude shade available for every skin tone.
Blush is also a great choice if you want to wear an intense colour but don’t want to go too bold. This colour looks beautiful on most people, especially those with fair complexions because it adds warmth while still looking natural on the skin tone.
Matching accessories with the dress
It is essential to match accessories to the dress, so if someone is wearing a dress with a bright print or pattern, keep accessories simple with just minimal jewellery and shoes.
Gold is famous for spring and summer weddings, while silver is more suitable for autumn and winter. Jewellery should be minimal; either use one piece such as a necklace or earrings or keep it simple with just bracelets on each wrist. Shoes should be simple too; adding height can give an elegant feel but avoid overly high heels as this can make you unstable when dancing in the evening.
Adding sparkles or sequins
If someone chooses an evening dress rather than daywear, try adding some sparkle with sequins or glittery fabric. Alternatively, look for pretty beading on the neckline or sleeves of the dress.
Remember to wear what feels comfortable and confident.
Accessorizing with a Handbag
A handbag is essential, but choose the one you can use later too. This is where you can invest in something unique that will last forever.
A handbag should be big enough to hold all your essentials but small enough to carry comfortably. If you wear the bag on your shoulder, think about how heavy it will be and whether it will fit comfortably over your arms.
If possible, try before buying a new bag as this way you’ll know if it’s right for you or not.
Conclusion
It is a great idea to have a look through magazines and browse online to find out what is trending and what will suit their shape. If someone doesn’t know how to work this out, consult a personal stylist to help. A bride’s mother doesn’t need to be frumpy, even if she is on the larger side. By choosing a dress that suits her figure, she will look amazing.
