Fabulous Attire for Nashville Mother of the Bride {Groom} and Flower Girls
Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Groom and the boys? Check. Bridesmaids? Check. Moms and flower girls? Well I'm glad you're here! Regardless of age, girls always want to look great and feel fabulous for special occasions. Luckily there's no shortage of options for every lady in your bridal party, young or older.
In recent years, designers have taken moms' tastes into account and are giving them more modern and stylish options so they maintain their dignity without looking like, well, MOM. Bridal boutiques that carry a bridesmaid line will also have dresses for moms and sometimes it takes a little sifting through to find a good fit that she will feel comfortable wearing. Watters' Special Occasion line has several mom would love to wear.
Here are my favorites.
The Mandarin style buttons add flair to the outfit. (Watters & Watters Special Occasion from b. Hughes Bridal)
I like this one because the jacket is removable to reveal a stunning strapless, full length gown and it's perfect year-round. The fluting really draws the waist in too. (Watters & Watters)
This orange is surprisingly flattering - trust Badgley Mischka to know how to make mom feel glamorous! (b. Hughes Bridal)
There are plenty of styles and designers to choose from, and the bridal boutiques in town all carry lines that guarantee mom will find something that she (and you, of course) will love. The same goes for flower girl dresses - boutiques are really good about being one-stop shops.
Ok, all together now, “awwwww!”
Doesn’t that just make your heart melt? The gray dress is by Melissa Sweet which the Bride Room carries. The pink ones are by Watters & Watters and the white one above is by Us Angels, available at Faccio Bridal (facciobridal.com).
Custom dresses are fast becoming the norm so if you can’t find something you absolutely love but you have an idea of what it should look like, take it to Designs by Sarah Marie and get exactly what you/mom/ your flower girl loves. Maybe even make a day of it, get some brunch with mom and the girls, and really have fun with this part of the planning!
