Do not worry about having to shop for the most impeccable wedding attire so early. In fact, looking for the dress months ahead would lessen the stress when the wedding date is coming to a close. We’ve got 5 important tips when trying to find the ideal one.
Time
“Time is gold.” This is a very famous quote used in a lot of settings. And, it also applies to wedding preparations. One year could be long enough to plan all things for the wedding. But, as the days go by, it could be like waking up from a dream – there are only less than 3 months left. To avoid getting in a rush, go shopping while you are excited upon hearing the news of your daughter’s engagement.

There is nothing wrong with starting early. Most experts advise that the best time to buy a wedding attire would be 3 months prior to the occasion date. Meanwhile, you can still buy as early as possible to give you plenty of time to make any changes should there be a need. On another note, the latest you can buy for your attire would be 2 weeks before the celebration. But, if you do this, you need to make sure that the dress fits you well, and it suits your style while it complements the wedding theme.
Wedding Theme
The theme of the wedding is another important factor. Ask your daughter what theme does she have in mind – would it be a beach wedding, a rustic country wedding, a fairy tale wedding, or a garden wedding? Along with the wedding theme, ask the colors too. These two are very helpful when choosing the mother of the bride dress. It’s not only the MOB dress but also the wedding decorations.

For a beach wedding, you can choose a flowy mother of the bride dress made from chiffon or any light fabrics. Wear a midi dress or a lace dress if it is a casual country wedding. If it is a garden wedding, a long floral mother of the bride dress is an option.
Wedding Colors
You can help your daughter in this phase. When you finalize the colors, it will be easier to pick the bridesmaid dresses and your mother of the bride dress. You can base the color according to which season will the wedding take place. For a spring wedding, recommend light colors such as pink, light blue, fuchsia, orange, blush, shades of green, or shades of purple. This is a season where the flowers are starting to bloom, thus having a lot of options.

Summer, the warmest season, falls from June to August. The weather is excellent, and the flowers are in full bloom. Radiant colors such as hot pink, classic blue, lilac, and lavender are perfect options. If the wedding is dated at fall/autumn, choose darker hues like dark navy, emerald green, silver, tan, or taupe. And, for winter weddings, icy blue, gold, red, burgundy, or green are some of the most popular and timeless colors.
Wedding Venue
Your daughter might be thinking of a destination wedding, wherein you will have to travel outside the country for the big day. If you are ordering your MOB dress online, consider answering the following questions:
- How long will it take for the dress to arrive?
- Will it come on time? Will there be enough time?
- Can I have it be shipped to the wedding location?

Answering the questions will help you decide how to order or buy your wedding attire. Should you place an order online, or will you go shopping at a physical store? In addition, the venue will determine what kind of dress you should buy. When you have to travel, you may need to choose a dress that is easy to transport – it should be light and wrinkle-free.
Sophistication
What is trending? What will make you look sophisticated and elegant? Pantone’s color of the year is classic blue, which means you can always choose this color. You can also check here what the trends are for this year.

Aside from what’s trending, consider what looks best on you while it complements the wedding theme. Choose a comfortable dress that will make you look younger and fabulous. A knee-length dress will always look elegant, whether you are short or tall. Match it with statement accessories – jewelry, fascinator, handbag, and shoes.
Conclusion:
Timing, wedding theme, wedding colors, wedding venue, and looks – consider all these five factors when purchasing your mother of the bride dress. Proper timing will avoid further stress. The theme and colors will help you choose an appropriate MOB dress. Bearing in mind the trend will help with your up-to-the-minute and sophisticated look while keeping you at ease.
