Nothing says “elegant mother of the bride (or groom)” quite like a perfectly tailored frock. While it’s never a good idea to dress so elaborately that you risk upstaging the bride, you don’t want to just blend in the background during your daughter’s (or son’s) big day either, do you?
A good choice would be a structured dress that is simple enough not to compete with a wedding gown, but chic enough to make you look like you’re an important part of the bridal party (which you are!). There’s a way to marry minimalism with glamour for a mother-of-the-bride/groom look, whether it’s through impeccable design, perfect tailoring, sculptural accents that catch the eye, or all of the above!
