Typically, a bride's wedding dress is designed to only be worn once but that shouldn't be the case when it comes to your mother of the groom dress.

What to look for in a mother of the groom outfit

When it comes to shopping for mother of the groom dresses, identifying the best silhouette for your body type is always a good place to start. This will help narrow down your options and make the shopping process a whole lot easier. Beyond choosing a flattering silhouette, it's also important to pick an outfit that not only showcases your personal style but follows the wedding's dress code and color palette. If the wedding calls for black-tie attire, make sure you opt for a formal outfit like a floor-length gown or pantsuit. If the wedding is more casual, go for a short frock or sundress. Keep in mind that many sites offer the ability to filter dresses by occasion, color, and silhouette.

Although online shopping comes with its many perks, it can be tricky to tell exactly what a certain dress will look like in person. The solution? Thoroughly read product descriptions–right down to the fabric type–and any customer reviews. And since so many retailers offer fast shipping and free returns, you can easily send back any dresses you don't love– just make sure to always review a retailer's shipping and return policy.

FAQ

  • When should I start shopping for my mother of the groom outfit?

    To err on the safe side, we suggest that you start shopping for your dress six months before the wedding to allow for any shipping delays or alterations.

  • What should I consider when shopping for my mother of the groom outfit?

    It's important to take into consideration the venue, the season, and your personal style. While your outfit should be season-appropriate and complement the wedding's color palette, it's also important to pick silhouettes and colors that celebrate your body type and spotlight your personal style.

  • What colors should a mother of the groom avoid wearing?

    A good rule of thumb is to avoid wearing white or any hue that might resemble the bride's wedding outfit or groom's suit/tuxedo.

  • Do I have to run my mother of the groom outfit by the couple?

    While the couple will surely want you to feel your best in your dress, having a conversation with the couple beforehand can help set expectations and narrow down your options.
