Remix: Perfect Colors and Styles of Vintage Dresses for the Mother of the Bride or Groom

by Karen

We are taking a look back at a previous post and doing a remix of perfect colors and style of vintage dresses for the mother of the bride or groom. For some mothers, wearing a shade or color similar to their daughter or future daughter-in-law seems like the thing to do. But, consider this old superstition: if you are mother of the bride, the groom is looking at you to find out what his wife will look like in 30-40 years. Make a profound impression on the bride and groom as well as all the guests; try a bold and daring color of dress and fun hairdo.
In an earlier article, we gave some quick hair and color tips on this topic. Here are just a few to refresh your memory:
  • Shorter haircuts or even updos will make a woman look younger. But, keep in mind that the neck should be hidden. Keep your hair just around shoulder length or keep the updo somewhat loose.
  • Consider highlights to your hair for a younger look
  • For your child’s wedding, choose a fresh but neutral color for a daytime wedding: peach or apricot, pink or blush, beige, lavender, or mint green
  • For an evening wedding, consider a more saturated color: ruby, purple, green, or even an accented black dress
Now, let’s look at the eight best dress ideas for the mother of the bride or groom that will have you looking young, noble, and beautiful on your child’s wedding day:
  • This rose and gold dress serves as alternative wedding dress and is a great choice for either mother of couple getting tying the knot.
