How to find a GREAT Mothers dress

If you're the mother of the bride/groom, you will want to look as nice as possible on your daughter's/son's  special day. Formal wear is not something that most people pick out often, so finding the right dress can be overwhelming with all of the options there are to choose from.
Here are a 3 tips to help you find the perfect dress!
1) Talk to the Bride. Sometimes Brides have a definite idea about how they want the moms to look. She may prefer that you are in a certain color or certain length of gown to compliment the vision she has for her wedding. This will be helpful in narrowing your search.
2) Shop early. Most of the dresses will have to be special ordered and depending on the designer, that could take up to 6 months!Most mothers are so busy helping plan and working on the to-do list, that they forget to take the time to begin shopping for their perfect dress.
3) Shop with an open mind. This is one of the most important days in your daughter or sons life. You need a dress that reflects that. This is a time to try on things that may seem out of the box for you. We always recommend to moms just to have fun and try on lot's of shapes. You never know how a dress will look, until you put it on your body. We have had many mothers walk out of here in dresses that they may have passed on, just by looking at it on the hanger.
