A couple weeks ago I was at my hair salon when an interesting conversation came up amongst the women getting their hair done. To my left was a soon to be bride having her bridal hair trial done, to my right was a soon to be MOB and behind me waiting for her color was a MOG. The topic of “finding the dress for the mother of the bride/groom” came up and turned into a very interesting conversation. Both women were having difficulty finding the right dress for their children’s weddings. Both had been to several places only to find stiff, matronly looking dresses that made them look old.
I actually decided to “pipe in”, which is not my personality, however because I see SO many dresses at weddings, I thought I could give them some ideas. My favorite MOB dress came from Diana’s wedding last August. Her mother (seen below) wore a gorgeous dress she purchased from Nordstroms. She looked so beautiful and truly stood out. I specifically remembered this dress because it was so different, stylish and non-traditional from what tends to be the “norm” for MOB’s and she look perfect all night.
Here are a couple photos of the dress….it rocked.
