Mother of the Groom Dresses For Every Dress Code
Choosing a dress to wear for your son’s wedding is exciting, but it can also be slightly daunting, especially with so many styles to choose from. Wedding dress codes are a great way to refine your search for a mother of the groom dress. Considering the season of the wedding and the wedding venue can also help indicate which dress to choose.
Three of the most popular wedding dress codes include black tie, formal, and cocktail, although there can also be other types of dress codes such as garden or beach. The bride and groom may also sometimes decide on a colour scheme for their wedding. Either way the specific dress code will usually be included on the wedding invitation, and if there are any doubts it is always best to consult with the bride or groom.
Black Tie Dress Code
Black tie attire calls for a full length gown or a chic long sleeved jumpsuit. The black tie dress code is all about elegance and class. When it comes to the silhouette of the gown, think of your body type and how to accentuate your best features. This can be achieved with sleeve details that draw the eye upwards. Billowing, flutter and rosette sleeves add sophistication to any style.
Formal Dress Code
A garden wedding calls for more of a semi formal mother of the groom dress, a style that is breezy and comfortable but can still be dressed up for the special occasion. For a smaller wedding, it would be perfectly acceptable to wear a semi formal midi dress as the mother of the groom. The dress can be paired with flats and earrings for more of a laid back look or can be dressed up with some drop earrings and heels for a semi formal look that you will be comfortable in from ceremony to reception.
Cocktail Dress Code
Beach destination weddings & garden weddings call for a cocktail dress code attire. Mother of the groom dresses for destination weddings can be comfortable, lightweight, and flowy. Chiffon dresses are breathable and drape beautifully, perfect for a seaside location. A wrap style dress can also be worn for more casual beach weddings. Search for cocktail knee length dresses that strike a balance between elegance and comfort.
