When Should Mothers Start Shopping for Their Dress?
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“When should I start shopping for my mother-of-the-bride dress?”
For most weddings, we recommend shopping approximately:
- 8-9 months before the wedding for special order dresses
- Earlier if you’d like the fullest selection
This allows time for:
- Ordering
- Alterations
- Coordinating colours with the wedding party
If the wedding is sooner, don’t worry, off-the-rack options may still be available.
What Colour Should the Mother of the Bride Wear?
Choosing a colour is often one of the biggest decisions for mothers shopping for a wedding.
Traditionally:
- Mothers coordinate with the wedding palette
- Colours complement – not necessarily match – the bridal party
- The level of formality and venue also help guide dress selection
Popular mother-of-the-wedding colours include:
- Navy
- Sage
- Champagne
- Black
- Dusty blue
- Wine
- Soft metallics
Our stylists can help guide you toward colours that photograph beautifully and feel cohesive with the overall wedding aesthetic.
