Mother of the Bride (or Groom)






AS any parent of the the bride or groom will tell you, the wedding of a child is a bittersweet occasion - even if the parents really like the intended spouse.

Very often, it is the mothers of the bride and groom who set the style tone for the guests. Long or short? A variation of the wedding colors or a neutral? Some important things to remember: This is NOT your day. This day is about the bridal couple. On this day, personal differences are set aside and personal preferences are deferred to the bride and groom.

Assuming your child is the lovely person you raised her or him to be, you will have the decision of what to wear. May we suggest a sleek, elegant dress with matching jacket such as this lovely outfit by Le Suit? The blazer offers enough coverage for even the most conservative of church ceremonies. The sleeveless sheath dress underneath flatters all figures and is a charming alternative. These style elements combined with the look of dupioni silk and a saturated color such as the Lapis shown here, make a fresh fashion statement.

At the end of the day, it's not as much about who wore what is it is about the fact that your precious child has had a lovely and heartfelt ceremony and a truly joyous celebration.
