Gone are the days of the old and outdated Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses and gowns. Designers are now creating looks that have the ability to transcend into any season and are flattering to all shapes and sizes. When choosing the look that is right for you, consider the the following questions: What is your personal style? Does the wedding have a color theme or dress code? What you would feel most comfortable in?

A daughter's wedding is one of the most important days in a mother's life, so it's only befitting that she should be just as elegant as the bride. When celebrating this milestone, take the time to reward yourself  for all of the long hours and hard work you put in as a parent.

Trend #3: Go Short or Long

Hemlines are making waves this year because of the vast amount of new wedding venues that are now trending. Anything goes when selecting a dress length. Before making the purchase, consider these factors: your preferred style of dress, as well as the venue and elements for that particular season. Runways are seeing styles that range from floor length dresses, tea length dresses, and knee length dresses. General style etiquette suggests that hemlines get shorter during the warmer months and fabrics become lighter and brighter. Floor length dresses are always the exception for black tie or more formal settings. Keep in mind your daughter's preferences and consider bringing her along for a fun day of shopping!

Trend #5: Lace

If you are looking for something a little less traditional, try one of these lace dress styles. Lace is both classic and delicate in appearance but still very modern. This trend is sophisticated and feminine without upstaging the bride. If you are a bit more conservative, try adding lace as an accent or look for a mother of the mother of the bride dress with lace detailing.
