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 Tips For Finding the Perfect Dress For Your Son or Daughter's Wedding

Whether you are the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom, you deserve to stand out brilliantly on your child's wedding day. Our excellent selection of special occasion dresses in South Florida can help you to do exactly that! Using the following tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals will allow you to find a gown that you and the happy couple all love. 

Talk to the Bride and Groom
The fabulous look of the dress that you choose will be all yours, but the day is all about the bride and groom. Ask their opinion on the look and style they are envisioning for the wedding. Their suggestions can guide you to look for styles and colors that will be cohesive with the overall wedding design. After all, you are not a regular guest, but an important part of the celebration. 

Talk to the Other Mother
If the person that your child is marrying has a mother that will be attending the ceremony too, you will want to get together and talk fashion. You definitely don't want to show up in the same dress, and it will look nice in group photographs if your fashions compliment each other. Coordinating the wedding day look with your future in-law can avoid possible conflicts and hurt feelings later on. 

Be Inspired by Wedding Details
Just like when the bride shops for her beautiful wedding dress, you can take cues from various wedding details to help you find a gown that you will be comfortable in and will also blend well with everything else going on. For example, the time of day and season that the wedding is taking place will determine the formality of the gown, as well as the type of fabric you may want to wear.    

The venue will also factor into your style choice. Is it indoors or outdoors, and are there lots of stairs or hills? You want something that will look amazing on you, but you want to be comfortable in it all day too. Also, think about the types of activities that the couple has planned for the wedding. If there will be lots of dancing, you'll want to find something you can really move in!  

Start Shopping Early
The sooner you begin shopping for your gown, the more time you will have to find exactly what you want. It's also wise to get a head start on finding your mother of the bride dress in case it needs to be special-ordered or any alterations are necessary. 

Be Yourself
All of the things mentioned above are excellent guidelines for your dress search, but when it comes right down to the final decision, stick with your own personal style. It is completely possible to coordinate with everyone else in the wedding while still looking like yourself. Angelus Bridal & Formals in Pompano Beach can provide the exquisite fashion, and then we will help you to dress it up and make the look all yours.

One of our talented consultants will be with you during your time here to answer any questions you may have, and also to guide you to the look your are envisioning.

9 Ways to Make Mom Feel Extra Special on Your Wedding Day

Mother's Day will be here soon. This year it falls on Sunday, May 8, 2016. We adore taking care of the mothers of our brides in this South Florida bridal salon every bit as much as taking care of the brides themselves. In honor of this very important holiday, today's blog is dedicated to ideas on how to make your mother feel extra-special on your wedding day. 

1. Make your "something borrowed" something of hers. 

It will make Mom feel good to know that you are holding something near and dear to you that belongs to her as you walk down the aisle. That something you borrow will have even more meaning to her than it did before when you return it after the wedding. 

2. Give her a special wedding day keepsake.

Another option is to buy something brand new to gift to your mother in honor of the occasion. An embroidered handkerchief to catch her happy tears would be lovely. Another idea is an elegant frame to hold your favorite picture of the two of your from your childhood. 

3. Spend an entire day shopping for her dress.

Your mother deserves to look gorgeous on your special day. Make the shopping trip an event for the two of you. Start with brunch, then head to your appointment at Angelus Bridal & Formals so that we can treat your mother to an afternoon of pampering and fabulous fashion. After your shopping trip, go to a coffee shop to discuss wedding details together, plan a mini spa day, or go see a movie. Anything that you know you'll both enjoy.  

4. Say cheese!

Display photos of Mom from her wedding day, or use them in a slideshow at the reception. Be sure to ask the photographer to get a few special shots of just the two of you. Maybe you could even recreate a photo from her wedding day or a favorite childhood picture.

5. Reserve special transportation.

If your ceremony and reception are in different locations and traveling is involved, you will need to arrange transportation for yourself and the wedding party. Include your parents too. Hire a fancy car for them to ride like royalty in, allowing Mom to make a grand entrance.

6. Ask Mom to get ready with you and your bridesmaids.

Before the ceremony, a lot of fun things happen in the dressing room. Invite your mother to join you and your girls for hair, makeup, and manicures. She will love spending that time with you as well as getting the chance to watch you enjoy it. 

7. Ask her to walk you down the aisle. 

This tradition is often reserved for your father or another special man in your life. There is no reason why your mother can't escort you down the aisle along with your dad. If he isn't in the picture anymore, then she is the perfect candidate to fill this position.   

8. Dance with her.

The bride usually has a dance with her father, and the groom dances with his mother. Add a mother-daughter dance to the mix and share a bit of the spotlight with this special lady. Another nice gesture is to invite all of the mothers at your reception to hit the dance floor with their children. 

9. Write down how much you appreciate your mother.

Surprise Mom with a special note in your wedding program, or write a sentimental card to be delivered at the wedding. A hand-written thank you after the wedding weekend is also something she would really appreciate. 

The wedding day is all about the bride and groom, but there are a lot of wonderful people that have played a part in you getting to this day. Little gestures go a long way in making them feel as important as they are to you. Whether your wedding happens to be close to Mother's Day or not, the gestures above will make any mother very happy. 

Don't forget to make an appointment to come in with Mom to try on all of the exquisite gowns that we have for sale in our Pompano Beach bridal store. We carry lots of different styles, sizes, and colors to choose from so that she can find something wonderful to wear to your wedding. Angleus Bridal & Formals will make sure of it.
