Let talk Momâs attire at your WeddingâŠ
I have had a few frantic calls lately from Brides stressed about how to handle what their Mom or their partnerâs Mom wants to wear for their Wedding. Either Mom wants to wear black, red, short dress, patterns etc and you are terrified that her choice will look off for the overall aesthetic of the day. Depending on your relationship with your or your partnerâs Mom, it may be a delicate situation.
You want your Mom to feel special on your Wedding day but this may be the first time she is shopping for a formal dress for this kind of occasion. See the slides to get some suggestions on how to approach finding Mom a dress.
Note: Letâs say worst case scenario happens and she chooses something you just donât love and wonât change her mind, you will have to let it go (unless it is white or off white, those are non-negotiable). At a certain point, you just canât worry about it anymore. She will be in a few photos but otherwise, it is your day and you canât let something like a dress ruin it for you. It may drive you nuts, but is it worth your sanity? No. Take a deep breath and move on (as hard as it may be).
One thing I do remind my Brides is that you what Mom to feel comfortable. You want her to feel her best on the Wedding Day. Hopefully, she is open to some guidance and chooses a dress both of you love! Your day will be wonderful either way because you are marrying the love of your life!
Happy Planning!
