The Best Mother of the Bride Dresses for a Wedding

Looking for the best Mother of the Bride dresses is hard! Mom of the bride dresses are notoriously difficult to shop for. I don’t know about you guys but my mom tried on at least 50 dresses before landing on the ONE (and oh my did she look GORGEOUS!). Kenny’s mom was the same way (so mothers of the groom, this post is for you too!). It’s an interesting balance between choosing colors and styles that complement the bride’s aesthetic and finding something that won’t ‘steal the show’ too much from the bride herself. Many moms also find it difficult to find Mother of the Bride dresses that feel young, hip, and chic, and not frumpy or old.
