Factors to consider when choosing a dress
While you might not want to spend eternity choosing what to wear to your son’s wedding. There are key factors never to overlook when choosing mother of the groom dresses in 2021.
Body type
While you might be tempted to buy a pretty dress seen on a mannequin, note that you’re likely not the same body size and shape as the mannequin. Go for a silhouette that flatters your body shape and a color that complements your skin tone.
Wedding style
The wedding style also affects your dress choices. Is it a summer or winter wedding? Casual, semiformal, or formal? What is the wedding theme? You must answer these questions as they make your choices easier when answered.
Wedding color scheme
While you want to look elegant and beautiful at your son’s wedding, you don’t want your dress to look like a color mishap in the wedding pictures. So, consider the color scheme when choosing your dress. Unsure whether or not there is one? Speak with the couple.
Personal Style
Yes, it is your son’s wedding but it is your dress. You should wear a dress that you are both confident and comfortable in. Consider your style and personality and opt for a dress that appeals to you.

FAQs
What color does the mother of the groom wear?
While the color you wear depends on the color scheme for the wedding, it is advised that you stay away from white dresses, off-white or neutral hues so you don’t look like the second bride in the wedding pictures. However, this is perfectly okay if they would like to have an all-white wedding or if the bride wants it that way. It’s also a great idea to speak to the couple before choosing as they may have a color that complements the bridal train in mind for you already.
Should the mother of the groom’s dress match the mother of the bride?
The mother of the groom’s dress doesn’t necessarily have to match that of the bride’s mum. While both mothers are encouraged to wear flattering outfits that represent their style, chosen colors and prints mustn’t clash or disagree. Working together to choose your dresses prevents one from being overdressed or underdressed and also deepens the sister-in-love bond.
Who should select the mother of the groom’s dress?
Well, the mother of the groom should select her dress. While it is great to work with the bride’s mother and the couples during the selection process, it is ultimately up to you to choose your outfit.
When should the groom’s mother get her outfit?
Mothers should set out to choose their outfits as soon as possible to avoid last-minute decisions and hurried alterations. Ideally, mothers should set out to find their dresses shortly after the bride does to make enough allowances for necessary alterations if need be. About 4-6 months before the wedding should be fine.
For a custom-made dress, when is the best time to start ordering?
Since a custom-made dress is a dress made specifically for you, the dressmaking process takes time. Though we could have an express custom-made dress for you, we recommend that you start to order your custom-made dress at least four months before the wedding. This ensures that you have enough time to include every little detail and you don’t deal with last-minute stress days or weeks to the wedding.
Ultimately, you should wear a dress that is both comfortable and elegant. Unsure whether or not your imagined style can be brought to life? You can trust us to do all in-between. We work, a step per time, offering you personalized and uncompromised services till there is perfection in every detail.
