It’s easy to get caught up in the madness of wedding planning—especially as a mother of the bride, whose personal preparations for the big day often become an afterthought. However, it’s better to be prepared and start the search for a mother of the bride dress shortly after the wedding party’s colors have been established. Mom definitely doesn’t have to match the bridesmaids, but she shouldn’t clash with them, either (or wear any color resembling that of the bride’s dress!).
A dress’ style is just as important as its color, and the tea length mother of the bride dress makes for a timeless yet trendy option. The bottom hem typically hangs just above the ankle, but always below the knee—which feels like the perfect compromise between a shorter, less-formal dress and a floor-length gown. Even better, tea length mother of the bride dresses can easily be worn at day or evening weddings. And of course, the Mother of the Groom would look amazing in any of these dresses as well!
