Not Following the Dress Code Designated by the Couple
A dress code is a way to establish the level of formality of the wedding.
One of the biggest wedding fashion mistakes anyone can make is not following the dress code of the event. As the mother of the bride, sticking to the dress code is not only important but required.
If the invite states formal or black tie attire, do not show up in a casual dress, and vice versa. You will also want to avoid wearing a look that is too formal, as it could potentially upstage the bride. When in doubt, ask your daughter for help when deciding on what you'd like to wear.

Buying Dresses Outside of Their Comfort Zones
Uncomfortable is the last thing everyone want on the celebrate day. So mothers of the bride should look for dresses they are comfortable wearing all day, and all night, long. Trust us, your daughter's wedding is not the time to step outside of the box and try something completely new.
Between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, it will be so terribel to worry about how your dress fits, or not liking the style you selected on the day of the wedding.
To avoid this, we recommend sticking to dress silhouettes and fabrics you have previously worn to other events.

Not Adhering to the Bride's Color Request
A wedding isn't the best place for mothers to express your own fashion vision, embrace their individuality..
If you've been asked to wear a specific color, it's best to follow that recommendation.
But if there is something that you want to wear that falls outside of the bride’s request, you can have a discussion, but the bride always has the last say here.
And if you truly do not like the color that has been selected by your daughter, see if she's okay with you wearing a similar shade. While it's important to feel comfortable and look your best, it's also important to remember that this is ultimately the bride's special day.

Buying a White Dress
Unless it's an all-white wedding, the bride requests you wear white, the mother of the bride should never wear a white dress.
Generally speaking, white is reserved for the bride, and wearing this hue to a wedding is a fashion faux pas for any guest. This is also the case for white dresses with prints and patterns. There are so many colorful and modern outfits available for mothers of the bride today, so we're confident you can find a non-white option that you'll absolutely love.
