FAQ

• Do I have to run my mother-of-the-bride dress by the bride?

  “No, you don’t have to,” says Wahidi. “However, I think it’s a nice gesture to check in with the bride or the bridal party to ensure pictures look coordinated.”

  You may want to just ask the bride beforehand if she has a color scheme she would like you to stick to or if there’s anything that’s a definite no-go for the mother-of-the-bride dress.

• Does a mother-of-the-bride dress need to be floor length?

  “This depends on the wedding,” says Wahidi. “If it’s a more casual wedding, like a beach event, then no. However, if it’s a black-tie affair in a ballroom, then yes.” Our best overall pick, Ever-Pretty's A-line Dress, is a stunning floor-length mother-of-the-bride dress that's suitable for formal occasions.
  

• How much should I spend on a mother-of-the-bride dress?

  How much you spend really depends on your budget. You can absolutely find lots of great budget-friendly mother-of-the-bride dress options under $100, like the Woosea High Neck Gown.

  Also, remember you will most likely need some alterations," says Wahidi. "Many women will need to purchase shoes, a clutch, and jewelry. The cost for the total look will be between $300-$1000.”
