'Mother Of': 3 Factors to Consider

When it comes to selecting dresses for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, it's essential that their outfits complement each other without necessarily matching. Here are three factors to consider when coordinating their dresses:

COLOR

Traditionally, the mother of the bride chooses her dress first. Then, the mother of the groom picks a dress that will compliment. The same color family is fine (as long as you have approval), but the dresses should not be exact. Color coordination is crucial in ensuring that the dresses complement the wedding's overall palette. Avoid clashing colors, and consider the season and venue when selecting the shades.

SILHOUETTE

Wearing dresses with similar silhouettes and fabrics is something to consider. Shirt dresses and a-line gowns pair nicely together, as well as crepe dresses and scuba dresses. Try to avoid pairing a shirt dress with a form-fitting column gown, since those are opposite styles.

LENGTH

Length is another factor to think about, and should be similar in both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom's dresses. This will also make the family pictures look great! It is best that one person is not in a floor length gown while the other is in a cocktail dress.  You want both looks to complement one another, while appearing effortless and chic at the same time.

By carefully considering length, silhouette, and color, the mothers of the bride and groom can find dresses that not only complement each other, but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the wedding. Coordinating these three elements ensures that both mothers look elegant and feel confident, contributing to the joyful and cohesive atmosphere of the celebration.
