Dress Shopping Tips For the Mothers of the Bride & Groom

Finding the perfect mother of the bride dress isn't always an easy task. This is an extremely special occasion, and you will want to look timeless and memorable in all of those wedding photos. The same goes for the mother of the groom. Both of you can get an easy start to your search by trying on the exquisite mother of the bride gowns that we carry in our South Florida bridal salon. The following helpful tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals will also be extremely useful.

First, talk to the bride and groom.
This dress that you are looking for is all yours, but the wedding itself is all about the bride and groom. Start by asking the couple about the vision they have for the wedding day fashions. Use their wishes for the overall look of the event to guide your gown choice. Their suggestions will lead you to styles and colors to get your search underway.

Borrow from the wedding style.
Many of the wedding details planned can help you decide what type mother of the bride dress will work best. First of all, the formality of the wedding will play a big part in your decision. So will the look of the venue, the bridesmaids' dresses, the bridal gown style, and the colors chosen to decorate with.

Maintain your personal style.
You can let the factors listed above guide you, but make sure that the final decision is also based on your own personal style. While the bride and groom want you to coordinate with the rest of the wedding party's look, they won't want to to wear anything that you don't feel like yourself in. The accessories that you choose are a wonderful way to accomplish this.

Coordinate with the other mother.
It's always nice when the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom can work together to coordinate their looks. Neither one of you wants to accidentally show up in the same dress as the other woman, or in a gown that looks as if it is competing with the other. The photos will look even more beautiful when the two of you wear dresses that look nice next to each other. Tradition dictates that the bride's mother gets first choice.

Start shopping early.
The earlier you begin shopping, the more likely you are to find the perfect dress. Starting too late will make you feel as if you have to rush, not letting you truly find "the one." Also, there is a good chance that the dress you decide on will need to be ordered, and possibly have a few alterations made once it comes in. You'll want plenty of time to find the best accessories too. Get started early so you have enough time to take your time.

You will find the best mother of the bride dresses in South Florida when you come in for you shopping appointment at Angelus Bridal. Let us know what you have in mind, and our talented consultants will guide you to many exquisite choices.

5 Questions To Ask To Find The Perfect Clothing For The Groom

Our South Florida bridal salon spends a lot of time talking about fabulous wedding fashions for the bride, but there is one other person that needs to look their very best on the wedding day - the groom. Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few questions here that you can ask to make finding the perfect clothing for him a little easier.

How formal is the wedding?
This simple fact can greatly narrow down your choices. Daytime weddings on the beach are usually more casual, allowing the groom to skip the suit jacket and look for lighter fabrics. If you're planning a black-tie affair, then he will begin his search in the tuxedo section. Once you've decided how formal you expect everyone else to dress at your wedding, the groom can start thinking about his own look.

When is the wedding?
The time of day and time of year that you are getting married are facts that can help you determine the formality of your ceremony and reception. This will also affect the type of clothing that the groom will be most comfortable in. Daytime weddings are often more relaxed fashion-wise than evening celebrations. The season will also determine the type of fabrics that the groom will want to wear.

What style is the bride wearing?
You probably won't want to the groom to see you in your beautiful wedding dress before the big day, but you can give him a general idea of the style of your gown to help him know the overall look you should both be going for. Your fashions should compliment each other as much as possible. Guide him to find a style without actually seeing what you've picked out. Showing him the bridesmaid dresses, which should also compliment your bridal gown, may be helpful.

What is he comfortable in?
Once the formality and overall style are narrowed down, a very important factor in finding the perfect clothing for the groom is comfort. He'll be wearing this suit for a long time, moving around a lot, standing for long periods of time, and probably doing quite a bit of dancing. His clothing needs to be comfortable enough to allow all of that. A perfect fit lends to good comfort, so proper measurements and custom fitting is key. It's also okay for him to get used to the feel of the suit by wearing it around the house a little bit. It's especially important that he breaks in brand new shoes before the big day.

How will the groom stand out?
If there will be groomsmen in your wedding, they will be dressed in a similar fashion to the groom, sometimes wearing the exact same style of suit. The groom deserves to stand out from the crowd, and this can be done with a special boutonniere, having him wear a different color tie or jacket from the other men, or putting him in a vest and the groomsmen in cummerbunds, for example. Anything that makes him look a little different and stand out from the group of guys in a special way will work.

Answering the questions above will start you on the path to finding the perfect wedding day look for your soon-to-be-spouse. Angelus Bridal & Formals has an in-house tuxedo rental area, so you can bring your groom to our South Florida bridal boutique to see what we have to offer. If you have any questions at all, we'll be happy to give you the answers.
