Mother of the Bride Outfits
Seeking a MOB dress? Welcome to PetiteMotheroftheBridedress.com – your source for all of your bridal needs.
This is a very delicate matter to some brides of how best to approach the matter of what you would like your petite Mother to wear on your big day. There are a couple of guidelines that she should follow. One of them would be, what does your wedding gown look like?Is the dress shorter, a little casual with no sleeves and the cloth made of cotton? Is your wedding during the day, evening or night? These sometimes dictate as to what should be worn. Or, is your wedding dress formal, long with a beautiful train, delicate chiffon material and lots of lace and buttons?The Mother of the Bride will also want to look ravishing for the wedding, too!
Since you found my site, I am assuming that she is petite. Sometimes being petite is a hindrance. A smaller body looks frumpy in an oversized dress, too much material and mid-calf length, sometimes referred to as “tea length”.A tough decision as to what she should wear will be hard if she is a little heavier.Not every one can be a model! So here are my suggestions to help your Mother decide what length dress she will look best in.For an afternoon wedding, it can be a little less formal, but let me take it for granted it is formal and going to be a night wedding.
The Petite Mother of the Bride could wear a long gown that has a jacket that she could take off after the wedding and during the reception. I suggest this because if it is an evening wedding, it might start getting cooler as the night goes on. The longer length is always in fashion, it just depends on how formal the Wedding Party is and what the Bridesmaids are going to be wearing.
Remember, the Mother of the Bride should try and color-coordinate with what the Bride has chosen for the color theme of the whole wedding. If the Bridesmaids dress is colored in the red family, then the Mother should wear one that has the red hue in it. If the Bride has chosen a dark green color theme, then maybe the Mother should wear a canary yellow. Just make sure that all the colors compliment each other. You don’t want the Mother of the Bride in a shocking green satin dress and the rest of the Bridal Party in light blue chiffon.
In other words, it’s the Bride’s day, so the Mother should not try to outdo or grab the attention. Also, think what the pictures of the day will look like when everyone is together having pictures done. It should all flow beautifully with great colors that blend together.
Since your Mother of the Bride is petite, she should stay with simple lines without a lot of fussy “buttons and bows” or too many accessories. Understated is always in style, you won’t go wrong with that and it is always classy.
There are many places to buy your dresses for the wedding. Whichever route you decide to take for purchasing your dresses, make sure that there is a return policy just in case you decide that it doesn’t suit you or the size is incorrect. You will save money on your Petite Mother of the Bride Dress by ordering online, and a whole lot of time, which is very important when there is a wedding to plan. And just think, you will also have one more “to do” thing off your list. By the way, Happy Wedding….I hope you have an absolutely smashing wedding, go enjoy!
