Preparation
The bride’s wedding dress may be the exclamation point when it comes to big-day fashion, but there are other VIPs who should be dressed to impress, too. First up on that list? The mothers of the bride and groom. And if your daughter or son is tying the knot during fall, we have some good news: There are so many styles, silhouettes, and color palettes to choose from.
Consider sleeved options that fight that turn-of-season chill or rich jewel tones and burnt metallics that speak to the vivid foliage and moodier motifs of autumn. Some of our favorite fall-time shades include deep plum, berry, and navy (they flatter many skin tones!), but don’t rule out a timely pattern—florals in deeper colorways can absolutely work for fall.
Whatever dress you choose, Mom, make sure it’s a look you love. To help inspire your search, we found 14 dresses for mothers of the bride and groom that are perfectly appropriate for a fall event.
