As the mother of the bride or groom, your role is one of honor, love, and presence and your outfit should reflect just that. Choosing the right look means balancing elegance, personality, and comfort for one of life’s most celebrated days. We tapped into the advice of a few professional stylists to give their opinion and advice and we put together some outfit ideas to feel empowered without sacrificing comfort.
Modern and Fresh
"Don’t be afraid to think outside the traditional mother-of-the-bride or groom box," says Lora LaPratt of Shopping Girl XOXO. "Keep your look modern, fresh, and true to yourself. Consider a chic pantsuit or a watercolor floral gown as stylish alternatives to the usual solid-colored dress and flowing chiffon topper," states Lora.
We love the idea of adding a pop of shine and what better way than our Silver Metallic Leather. We've paired this look with a lower block heel but you could rock any of our heels in the Silver Metallic and be comfortable and stylish.
Own the Moment
We are excited to hear from Stephanie Grabow, Founder SG Style Collective. She states, "dress for your body shape." "The guidance still applies, even for weddings. Wearing a dress that doesn’t flatter your body shape becomes very obvious when you look back at the photos, so you want to get this one right." "It’s going to be a long day, so choose clothes, shoes and accessories that you like enough to wear for hours." “No one ever had the best day of their life in shoes that hurt their feet.” "Wear shoes that are so comfortable you don’t have to take them off to dance." "What’s the theme of the wedding? Beachy-casual? Church-traditional? It’s important that you make choices that fit with the moment," said Stephanie.
We couldn't agree more and love these options for a beachside wedding.
Color Coordination, Not matching
While your look should complement the wedding palette, it doesn’t need to match it exactly. Shades like navy, champagne, rose gold, and emerald always photograph beautifully and pair well with most wedding color schemes.
Insight from Wendy Pomeranz, Personal Stylist, Antidote Styles, "Choose a dress that suits your body type and aligns with the formality and color palate of the event. Avoid over flashy styles and opt for refined fabrics like chiffon, lack or silk."
For extra elegance without the ache, go with the Kitten Heel—chic, supportive, and dance-floor ready.
Whether your style is classic, modern, or somewhere in between, the right outfit and pair of shoes will help you shine with grace and confidence. Explore our collection of heels that support every step of your celebration.
