Mother of the Bride vs Mother of the Groom

When selecting a dress for the mother of the bride versus the mother of the groom, the choice often hinges on traditional roles, etiquette, and the tone of the wedding. Here's a breakdown of the distinctions and considerations for each:

  • Role: The mother of the bride is traditionally more involved in planning and may be seen as a host. Her outfit often sets the tone for the formality of other family members. The mother of the groom’s role is supportive and complementary. Her attire should align with the formality and theme of the wedding.
  • Timing: Typically, the mother of the bride selects her dress first to guide the mother of the groom's choice, ensuring harmony in color and style. Then the mother of the groom should choose something complementary without matching too closely.
  • Colors: Both the mother of the bride and groom should avoid wearing white, ivory, or champagne. Soft and neutral tones or pastels are popular with the mother of the bride while darker or jewel tones (e.g., navy, plum, emerald) are popular with the mother of the groom. Generally, colors that align with the wedding's color scheme are a safe choice.
  • Style: Mother-of-the-bride dresses are often elegant with an emphasis on femininity. Details like lace, embroidery, or flowing fabrics are popular. Mother-of-the-groom dresses are often subtly sophisticated. Embellishments like beadwork or sleek tailoring work well without being overly showy.

Mother of the Bride vs Grandmother of the Bride

When choosing dresses for the mother of the bride and the grandmother of the bride, the focus is on celebrating their roles while complementing the wedding’s style and ensuring comfort. Here's how they differ:

  • Role: As a key host, the mother of the bride’s attire should reflect the formality of the event while complementing the bride’s vision. As an honored guest, the grandmother of the bride’s outfit should exude grace and timeless charm without overshadowing the mother or bride.
  • Style: Typically, mother-of-the-bride dresses are more contemporary and stylish, with a focus on elegance. Options include cocktail dresses, floor-length gowns, or chic dress-and-jacket sets. On the other hand, grandmother-of-the-bride dresses are classic and modest. Options include tea-length dresses, maxi dresses, or a coordinated dress-and-jacket ensemble.
  • Colors: The mother of the bride's dress often aligns with the wedding's color palette but is distinct from the bridesmaids. Neutral, pastel or jewel tones work well. White, ivory, or champagne is avoided. As for the grandmother of the bride dress, soft hues like lavender, blush, or sage are popular, as are darker, richer tones like navy, burgundy, or charcoal. Avoid overly bold or bright shades unless requested.
  • Embellishments: Lace, embroidery, or sequins are popular with the mother of the bride while subtle details like delicate embroidery and beadwork are popular with the grandmother of the bride.
  • Silhouette: The mother of the bride should highlight her femininity and elegance with flattering styles like A-line, sheath, or fit-and-flare dresses. The grandmother of the bride prefers timeless styles like A-line, empire waist, or shift dresses.
