If there is a stack of invites piling up on your desk, filing your inbox or lining your fridge then you already know that the wedding season is here. Once you have RSVP'd "yes" and booked your stay, it is time to figure out what you are going to wear. After the engagement party, bridal shower and rehearsal dinner is the wedding. Finding the perfect dress to wear as a wedding guest can sometimes feel tricky. Not only do we want to find that "perfect dress" but let's be honest dancing the night away in a dress that is too tight or creeps up all night so you spend all your time tugging it back down, does not sound like fun.

1. Match the dress to the essence or vibe of the wedding.
2. Comfort, comfort, comfort...
3. Select a unique dress that makes you feel beautiful!

3. Wedding Outfits For Mothers
The pressure is even greater when it is your son or daughter that is going to be walking down the aisle. The protocol once dictated that the mother of the bride would purchase her outfit first then that would then dictate what the mother of the groom would wear. Unless the bride states otherwise, cream, white and ivory should always be avoided for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. All black is also frowned upon as no one is in mourning. Consult the bride when it comes to choosing a color. Some brides like the mothers to coordinate with their bridesmaids, others prefer for the mothers to others to contrast each other, and some have no preference.
