Mother of the Bride Gowns

Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 in General Fashion News

Looking for Mother of the Bride dresses?  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 it short, less formal, sleeveless and made of a more casual material?  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?Mom will want to look georgeous on the big day, 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”.If the Mom is slightly chunky, it will be more of a decision.  Everyone cannot be a model!  So here are my suggestions to help your Mother decide what length dress she will look best in.Not knowing what the dress will be for the wedding, I will imagine it is going to be formal dresses for everyone in the bridal party.

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.A long gown is always fashionable, along with the Bridal Party depending on their length of of dress.

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 she has chosen maroon for the Bridesmaids dresses, then the Mother would be fine wearing a pale pink or a little darker pink.  If the Bride has chosen a lime 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.

Smaller women should keep manageable, non-fussy dresses for the wedding first in mind to buy.  Understated is always in style, you won’t go wrong with that and it is always classy.  Here are some great tips for having a perfect wedding.

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….now go enjoy your planning and have a superb wedding!

Mother of the Bride Gowns
where does a girl find gently used mother of the bride gowns? in Toronto or Mississauga?

Hmm.. tough one.

I know in Toronto where you can get gently used wedding gowns

But mother of the bride gowns.. how about Goodwill or other consignment shops?

Here’s a Google Mapped list of Consignment shops in Toronto

http://www.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=consignment+shops&near=Toronto,+ON&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title

Consignment is normally higher class than pure donation stores like Goodwill. Consignment is when someone gives the store stuff to sell, and IF it sells, the person who donated it, gets a small percentage of the sale price.
