Dress shopping with Mom. FOR Mom.
I’m waiting right now for my Mom to come over. I am taking her dress shopping for the highly anticipated Mother-of-the-Bride dress.
My Mom’s style is classic/conservative, not trendy, but simple.
I have no idea where to start! I’m thinking Macy’s and maybe Bloomingdale’s. David’s Bridal has a MOB dress line and I saw something that I think she might like.
Way back in the beginning of the planning my father-in-law said to my mother-in-law … jokingly, of course, “keep your mouth shut and wear beige!”
Now, I have to say, I really like that idea of all mothers just staying quiet and wearing a soft, neutral color. However, the reality is, that isn’t always possible. My wedding colors are pink and sand. I think my Mom will choose a navy gown, maybe beige. I’m hoping she feels good today and is excited to try on pretty dresses.
I will post a follow up this afternoon … stay tuned.

Well,
I have a great suggestion for your Mom. My son just got married and I could not find anything. It was between seasons and the new spring stuff was not out, and I hated everything at David’s bridal(too old or too brides maidy). I found a wondrful website,called audreysmotherofthebride.com
Just google in”mother of the bride dress” and it will show up. She has incredible dresses (designer)and just what I was looking for. I hated to order on line,but you have to send measurements(don’t cheat!) They actually measured the dress to be sure it would fit. When it came I was amazed how beautiful it was,and it fit like a glove. (No alterations needed) It was by Karen Miller and absolutely perfect!!! I absolutely recommend this website!!!!!!
