Mother Of The Bride Attire
My daughter will be married at the end of April at a formal evening wedding. What should the mother of the bride wear? Help!

It`s common to coordinate the 2 mothers attire with the bride`s colors, not match, but not clashing either. Like the poor girl on her who`s colors are red/burgundy and her MIL insists on bright green for her dress. You want something formal that stands out because you are to be honored as well, but not take attention away from the bride. Talk to you daughter and see if she has any suggestions. Then go to your local formal wear shop and see what they have. Take note of the designer and style #. Then, of course, do your price shopping. You will almost always find something similar or exactly the dress that you want somewhere else for a better price. And remember, it is illegal for a shop to remove manufacturer tags from dresses to keep you from getting a deal somewhere else.
