Mother Of The Bride
It is safe to say that the mother of
the bride is usually one of the most proud people in
the room. Pride in the fact that the daughter is becoming
a married woman today. If you are the mother of the
bride you are probably filled with a whole range of
different emotions. Along with pleasure you are possibly
feeling a bit of nostalgia as well.
You'll probably have to try to put some
of these feelings aside. You are going to be counted
on to help out with the wedding, and also make sure
that everything goes smoothly for your daughter. Certainly
this is not meant to scare you; it is just that your
daughter will be relying on you to help her on her big
day.
Choosing a beautiful dress for you depends
on the thoughts of your daughter with regard to her
wedding. You must pick a dress that is both eye-catching
and at the same time comfy, as you will need to go around
the reception area to welcome the guests. You will stand
out when you have chosen some gorgeous jewellery whether
it is a necklace, bracelet, brooch or corsage that matches
your outfit whether it is blue, pink, red, brown, cream,
green, purple or navy.
The key to success is to begin the search
early and to do some research into the style of dress
that you find appealing. The Internet is a valuable
resource for this. What ever you choose, get something
comfortable and with a good fit so you can relax and
enjoy the day.
Points to remember
Colour. Many people feel that mother of the bride dresses
should not be white or black. In the first case, of
course, it's because white is traditionally the colour
reserved for the bride. The second rule stems back to
a time when the bride's mother could signal her grief
at her daughter's marriage by wearing the colour of
mourning.
While such a sign might be thought extreme
in today's world, it is still frowned upon in some cultures
for the mother of the bride to wear black -- perhaps
simply because it might be considered bad luck. These
days, however, what's acceptable is often dictated by
the style of the wedding and the bride's outfit.
Organise with the mother of the groom. While it's traditional for the mother of the bride to
choose her dress first, it's thoughtful as well as prudent
to liase with the groom's mother in matters of fashion,
style and colour. This will at least stop the risk of
both mothers turning up to the wedding in the same outfit!
Complement the dresses of the bride
and bridesmaids. As a member of the wedding party,
the eyes of the guests will be drawn to your outfit
too. Plan well ahead with the bride to settle on an
age-appropriate design and colour to compliment her.
