Step 2: Coordinate (without identifying with) the mother of the bride.
Modern etiquette suggests:
The choice usually falls to the mother of the bride.
The groom’s mother then sets the tone and level of formality.
They don’t have to be identical, but they must complement each other.
For example:
If the mother of the bride wears a navy blue dress, your mother can wear a silver, plum, or champagne gown.
If your wedding color palette is dusty blue and sage green, you can stick to that color range.
Communication helps avoid awkward fashion combinations.
Step 3: Choose the right silhouette.
Every silhouette is beautiful, but the right cut makes a huge difference.
A-line dresses
suit almost every woman. They accentuate the waist and fall at the hips.
Empire cut.
Ideal for greater comfort and subtle elegance.
