Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start shopping for my Mother of the Bride dress?
We recommend starting your search 6-9 months before the wedding date. This allows ample time for selection, ordering, and any necessary alterations, ensuring a stress-free experience as the big day approaches.
What colors are appropriate for the Mother of the Bride?
While tradition suggests avoiding white, ivory, or black (unless it's a formal black-tie event where the couple has specified black), modern etiquette is more flexible. Consult with the bridal couple on their color scheme. Popular choices include shades of blue, green, plum, metallics, and sophisticated neutrals. The key is to complement the wedding palette without matching the bridesmaids exactly.
