Dress for Mother of Bride
Filed under FashionSep 18
Your daughter’s wedding is announced. She has butterflies in her stomach and one thousand and one things to do. Her “butterflies” becomes yours and your thoughts are racing just like hers. You, as her mother, will help her plan her dream wedding, just like your mother planned yours. At the back of your mind……”What am I going to wear? Will I look just as beautiful as my daughter on her wedding day? So many people are going to be looking at me as well….”
Fret no more. Here are the RULES but like all rules, they may be broken or should I say improvised and revised to suit you. I say….whatever makes you and/or your daughter happy!
1. Confer with your daughter. She will come up with a color scheme for her wedding.
2. Ask her whether she wants the color of your dress to complement her wedding color/colors or almost match it. Examples of complementary colors to a red color theme is burgundy, wine, claret red, dark pink, and purple. As for a “match”, it would certainly be difficult to have an exact match of the colors, as your dress will be of a different manufacturer, style, fabric, and dye. So, do not stress over this.
3. You, as the mother of the bride, will decide on a color or colors, after consulting your daughter. Suggest to her to be flexible on the choice of colors—perhaps two or three choices would be great. Mother of the bride dresses are not made like bridesmaid dresses, the latter being preordered and tailored months ahead of time for the occasion. Shopping for a mother of the bride dress can be a headache and nightmare rolled into one, especially for the plus size woman or if you live in a rural city.
4. Do not forget to involve the mother of the groom. After you have an idea of what color you would or should be wearing, inform her. She will definitely appreciate that as she will be in a panic mode as well, going through the same motions as you will soon be, looking for that perfect “mother’s” dress.
5. Shop as soon as you can. Finding YOUR dress is important too. Understand that you are shopping for a specific style that you like and look great in, a specific color, and then a specific size. Then, you will need to allow sufficient time for professional tailoring of the dress, to get it to fit just right! Also, what about the accessories like shoes and jewelry? You will be surprised how many ladies come to my online store www.audreysmotherofthebride.com hoping to find their dress within a WEEK of the wedding!
6. Shop bridal or department stores first. You can get a first hand look at the styles out there and the type and quality of fabrics. Do not ignore online formal wear stores. Visiting an online store is easy and stress free as they are sources of good ideas of what you would like to wear on that special day.
7. Take care of yourself in these nerve-wrecking times of preparation. Remember, you need to look good as well, although it is your daughter’s wedding.
8. Now, sit back and relax. You have found your most perfect mother of the bride dress and have a few more weeks to spare. Give yourself a big pat on the back!

Wedding Lingerie
Filed under FashionSep 2
It should be considered that the choice of sexy lingerie and underwear should be just as important as choosing a wedding dress and it isn’t just for the honeymoon but you should have it on underneath your wedding gown as well.
This is your day to go all out and make yourself look and feel as sexy and beautiful as possible. There are huge selections of bridal lingerie available in varied styles, colors, and sizes, especially bridal bustiers and corsets designed to enhance and support underneath the wedding gown while flattering the wedding dress you have chosen.
You should choose your wedding dress first, once you have done this now it’s time to go lingerie shopping! Remember, this is a special day. The lingerie and underwear you choose should reflect this. You also want to be sure that the bridal lingerie you choose goes along with the wedding dress. If you have a low cut back on your dress you want to be sure that the corset does not come above it.
If you are going with a strapless or off the shoulder wedding dress you will probably want to go with a bustier to really show off the dress as well as yourself! A bustier will be much more supportive, wrapping around your body and pushing up your breasts. You will definitely want to make this your choice if you are full figured or wearing a low cut back. If your dress is backless you will probably want to go with an adhesive bra though I don’t recommend it if you are large up top!
For panties you will want something that fits close to the body and if you have a tight fitting gown you may want to consider a thong. Remember you don’t want any panty lines.
Don’t skimp on the hosiery. You should choose a very high quality set of hosiery that will not be prone to snagging or tearing and at the same time is very complimentary to the dress.
Don’t hold back, go all out and make your wedding day a special one.
