It’s likely that your wedding dress was chosen with your mom or your future mother-in-law’s expert insight. So, why not do the same and help her find a dress she deserves that’s comfortable, chic, and fitting for the formality of the big day! We’re sharing mother of the bride (and groom!) trends that stand the test of time, plus our current favorite dresses for pulling them off.

Off-the-Shoulder

Style D40NY22242

Off-the-shoulder or cold-shoulder gowns offer a stylishly inviting detail and create an overall flattering look for mom. This sleek, satin gown shines under the lights while the cuffed neckline creates a stunning focal point. Keep it simple and let the dress do the talking or amp up mom’s look with eye-catching accessories that will be sure to make her feel her best!

Ball Gown

Style VCRS1482

The ball gown is a classic silhouette when you think of weddings. Not only for the bride, but the dress shape is also fitting for the MOB and MOG, too! Formal when paired with shiny satin, but the unexpected high-low hem is a modern take we are still loving.

Capelets + Sleeves

Style WBM2815

Pretty cropped sleeves or elegant billowy long sleeves offer arm coverage while still remaining stylish. Subtle illusion details or a touch of sparkle are universally flattering and appropriate for mom.

Sequins, Florals + Embroidery

Style D40NY22236

Prints, patterns, and shimmering dress details will always be a yes in our book. Dresses incorporating these details strike a balance between glamour and ease with their soft silhouette and striking characteristics. This floral embroidered dress features sequin touches and offers classic glamour that will make mom feel (and look) her best!

Pantsuits and Jumpsuits

Style 950136

Opting for coordinated separates or easy-to-wear jumpsuits takes the guesswork out of putting together the perfect outfit. And let’s be honest, pants are better for the dance floor! While the best choice for comfort, mother of the bride pantsuits and jumpsuits are incredibly elegant, available in sophisticated colors, and pretty details.

You’ve helped your daughter find the one, time to do a little dress shopping of your own! From what trends to look for, what flatters your body type, and all of the questions you never thought to ask, finding the perfect mother of the bride dress is no easy feat. Another thing to consider: the formality of the wedding. You never want to be over or under-dressed. Here are some foolproof styles, shapes, and colors of mother of the bride dresses for every wedding style.

Casual

Style WBM2580 & 7008D

Is your girl throwing a casual, laidback wedding? Opt for a look with a little less frill (but a ton of style, nonetheless!). A three-piece pantsuit offers a casual look and most importantly a comfortable option. Looking for a dress? Try a lace sheath dress with a trendy asymmetrical capelet for an incredibly stylish look that won’t upstage the bride or venue.

Cocktail

Style WBM2507 & VCRS1482

A cocktail or semi-formal dress code calls for dresses with a little more luxurious details. Think touches of beading and metallics or satin fabrics. For a more unique style try a dress with figure-flattering draping for a modern look. To keep these looks from getting too formal, playful shades lighten the mood.

Formal

Style WBM2578 & WBM2537

The ultimate formal wedding calls for dresses that pull out all the stops. Gowns with fancy fabrics, luxe textures, and elegant shapes, like a ball gown or mermaid, are perfect for a black-tie soiree. Opt for neutral hues like champagne or blush (that complement the rest of the party) for that ultra-sophisticated feel.
