There's no strict guide for mother of the bride attire. Think about what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful, as well as the aesthetic of your daughter's wedding, and simply follow your style. If you're not sure where to start, let the season, venue, and wedding color palette guide your search and then consult with the bride for her opinion. Both gowns and separates are appropriate, so choose whatever feels right for you! Pair your pick with mother of the bride shoes to complete your ensemble.

There's not one specific color the mother of the bride should wear. It's generally best to steer clear of white, ivory or champagne hues as to not take attention away from the bride.

The most significant difference between the mother of the bride and mother of the groom attire has nothing to do with the garments themselves but is actually how the gowns are selected and when. Traditional etiquette dictates that the mother of the bride takes the lead and shops for her wedding attire first.

The short answer: Yes, but you've got to get it right. Some may think it's gauche for a mother of the bride or groom to too closely match the bridesmaids, but tradition actually dictates that the moms should wear attire that complements what your bridal party will be wearing.

One idea for a mother to daughter wedding gift is a wedding memory book. In this book, write down every moment from planning her big day and save mementos, keepsakes, and photos. You could even ask her bridesmaids and maid of honor to write messages and memories in the book as well.

It's encouraged to steer clear of wearing white, blush or neutral hues that can look white on camera unless specifically approved by the bride. These shades may look similar to the bride's wedding dress, and it's always best to avoid any color mishaps.

Wedding etiquette dictates that the mother of the bride always chooses her attire first, and the mother of the groom second. Whether the mother of the bride chooses a dress or a pantsuit, a shorter skirt or a long one, as the mother of the groom you should strive to complement her.

When in doubt, neutrals go with everything! Taupe, Champagne, and metallics like Gold and Silver are always lovely. Black Mother of the Bride dresses are perfectly acceptable too.

In short, yes. If the mother of the bride decides to wear long, this doesn't mean you have to. Especially if you're not comfortable in a full-length dress or outfit. However, make sure you choose something that coordinates with the formality of a long dress so that you don't feel too casual.
