After all the wedding party is squared away with the outfits that they will wear for the wedding, the attention now shifts to finding an outfit for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. If the bride's mother and the groom's mother don't live too far apart, the bride should arrange a day of shopping. The goal is for the mother's of the two families to get to know each other a little better, to show appreciation for rearing up the bride and the groom and for searching Dresses For Mother Of The Groom for them to wear at the wedding. First you want to identify a few stores to look at mother of the bride dresses. Yes, you can find mother of the bride dresses off of the internet, and maybe later you can go there but the primary goal is for the mother's to meet and connect.
Wedding related websites show a few Mother of the Bride stores but not a lot compared to most other wedding categories. You want to look in bridal boutiques, department stores, formal wear shops, dress shops, outlet stores, and thrift shops. The mindset is to have a fun day, maybe you will find a mother of the bride dress on the day and maybe you might not. If the mom's don't find a dress they like that day, they should get an idea on the type and style of dress to search and what types of fabrics they like. If the bride's live too far apart, or their schedules prevent them from getting together, the bride should still plan a mother of the bride day of shopping. It's the bride's mom's responsibility to find a dress first.
