Mother of the Groom Dress

Congratulations! You have gotten this far and now it is time to decide which Mother of the Groom dress you will choose. The dress for Mother of the Groom is very important, because you are Mother of the Groom after all, are you not?

I would like to share with you here some tips on choosing which Mother of the Groom dress when you are down to your final couple of choices.The decision is easier than you realise, it is just that when it is you who is in the middle of it the answer can often be a blur and the more you try to think clearly about making the right decision the further clarity seems to be from you.

My advice is to take a step back. Give yourself some space to breathe, because you will make the right choice, but remember whatever choice you do make do it with certainty and don’t look back!

Here is a short checklist that will help you to decide:

1. Does it fit like a glove?

2. Is it available in the exact color you want?

3. Is the price right?

4. Will you be able to wear it again?

None of the Mother of the Groom dresses you have chosen might tick all of the above boxes, but usually one will tick more than another and this makes it an easy way of making that final selection.

You sometimes also find that although one of the Mother of the Groom dresses ticks more boxes than another, once you have decided on it using this method, that your inner voice suddenly speaks up and says something like: “Well, I know that one is the most practical choice, but I think I am going to go with the other one after all!”

It is your sons wedding day you don’t have to be practical. In fact it is the one occasion where you wear a hat and gloves so why not go for it and have a ball!
