Help my mom choose a mother of the groom dress! Please!
1. Start With the Wedding Context (This Changes EVERYTHING)
Before even looking at dresses, you need to understand the setting. This is the biggest mistake people make.
According to fashion experts, the venue, dress code, and season should guide everything—from fabric to length .
Ask these questions first:
Is it formal, semi-formal, or casual?
Indoor ballroom or outdoor garden/beach?
Daytime or evening?
What are the wedding colors?
👉 Example:
Beach wedding → light chiffon, flowy dress
Formal evening → structured gown, satin or lace
Garden wedding → floral or soft pastel midi
