Wedding Looks for Mom

As the mother of the bride or the groom, you might find yourself overwhelmed with joy and excitement as the wedding inches closer. While you might be asked to help with some tasks here and there, you’ll likely have your own to-do list of things you need to take care of before the big day arrives. One of those tasks includes shopping for the perfect outfit to wear to the celebration. If your son or daughter is getting married during the warm and breezy summer season, here are seven looks that are perfect for the sunshine and sometimes unpredictable weather.

Floral High-Low Dress

When you’re shopping for dresses, if you find yourself eager to wear something that stands out and is uniquely perfect for the summer season, consider a floral print high-low dress. Going with a multi-colored pattern of different flowers on a dress that’s lower in the back and a little shorter in the front is a flowy and absolutely fun option.

Long-Sleeved Chiffon Maxi Dress

Just because summer is a season of warm and sunny weather, doesn't mean your dress options have to be short. If you’re looking for a chic and full-coverage look that’s still light and comfortable in the heat, go with a long-sleeved chiffon maxi dress.

V-Neck Gown or Midi Dress

When you’re thinking about what to wear to a wedding that’s going to be mostly outdoors, whether on the beach or in a backyard, picking a stylish dress that will wear well in the weather is important. Take a look at a v-neck gown or midi dress in a breathable (chiffon or silk) fabric. You can accessorize this option with a trendy necklace or fun pair of earrings.

Scoop-Neck Lace Ankle Dress

For more of a traditional and classic look, try on a lace dress with a scoop neck that goes to your ankle. The fabric will fair well in the summer weather and the scoop neck lets you add accessories to give the style a more personalized twist.

Short-Sleeve Jumpsuit

If you’re not eager to wear another dress to your son or daughter’s wedding, consider trying on a jumpsuit. You’ll find yourself wearing a look that’s a bit more comfortable to move around in but still comes off as stylish and fancy for the occasion. The best part is that you can accessorize this look with a sleek belt or colorful shawl to wear during the ceremony.

Linen Pantsuit

One of the top fabrics for this summer season is linen and finding a pantsuit in that fabric could be a win-win look for a summer wedding, especially one with a more casual dress code. Linen fabric is not only breathable but perfect for an outdoor celebration where you’re surrounded by the beach or nature.

Beaded Cocktail Dress

For a more formal wedding, go with a timeless look that you might even find another occasion to wear it to again. A beaded cocktail dress never goes out of style and is a great stand-out dress to walk down the aisle in as a proud mother.
