This time of year, we’re feeling the love for all the incredible mom’s out there. And on occasions as special as weddings, we think moms of brides and grooms deserve a little extra attention. They deserve to feel beautiful, appreciated and distinct on the big day, too. So, to celebrate the extraordinary mothers out there and the exceptional role they play, we’ve gathered a few of our favorite fashion-forward images for mothers of brides and grooms-to-be. For all the moms looking for a little wedding fashion inspiration, keep reading!

Shade selection is crucial!

Besides the couple, one of the most important roles at a wedding is the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom. We always love when her look is distinct but not out-of-place, and we recommend mom picks a dress in a color family that complements the dresses of the bridal party. In this case, neutrals are the holy grail! If mom doesn’t want to match completely with the bridal party, she can choose a secondary or complimentary color. (Might we suggest picking a color from the bridal bouquet palette..it’ll be beautiful in the photos!)

Dress to Impress!

Consider silhouettes and options that are unique but classic. We love tea length dresses for moms because they work great for different wedding seasons. Another flattering option is a two-piece dress, or even a blouse and skirt. They’re modern & stylish, yet classic and comfortable.

Lace is IN!

Lace never goes out of style, and an all over lace style is a great option for moms. It’s an incredibly classic and elegant option.

Think about the Day’s Needs.

Dress according to any cultural ceremonies being performed, or any preferred dress code set by the bride and groom. When in doubt, we suggest asking what the bride or groom prefers!

Jewel it up!

Don’t forget to have her flaunt some statement jewelry. We love to see moms wearing gorgeous rings, bracelets, or earrings. Special occasions call for the eye-catching accessories!

Whatever the final selection ends up being, she’s guaranteed to look stunning. Share with a mom out there who could use a little inspiration, and don’t forget to let your mom know how much she means to you this Mother’s Day!
