How To Be a Perfect Mother of The Bride!

When Your daughter’s or soon to be daughter in law’s wedding is coming up, make sure to follow this guideline to be an A+ mother of the bride ! First thing to remember is that it is not YOUR wedding! Of course if she picks a hideous wedding dress you have the right to say your opinion , but when it comes to what color theme she wants .. Let her enjoy and pick her own colors! Make sure you are there to give her support, you are allowed to give opinions, just not demands ( yes there definitely is a difference.) Try and do the “less fun” wedding planning. For example searching for affordable venues, bands, caterer, photographer, making an invitation list for your guests.. etc. Once your daughter or daughter in law chooses what she wants.. Be sure to express how happy you are for her and how beautiful she is! Be supportive and don’t cause her stress! When it comes to your dress… Listen to the color she wants you to wear .. But the dress is totally up to you! Well not totally it has to be approved by her first. Make sure to pick a dress that can also be found in our showroom, and enjoy the wedding!

Black Mother of the Bride Dresses Okay to Wear Once Every 7 Years… Can You Guess Which Day?

Mother of the Bride DressWeddings this fall are showcasing the latest fashions of the season.  Mothers of the brides dresses are looking better than ever.  But yesterday, on a prime Fall 2010 Sunday – there was something a little different in the air.  Mothers of the Bride dresses didn’t necessarily have to follow the conventional mother of the bride dress rules.  Mothers of the brides were allowed to choose black dresses!

Yes, that’s right – black mothers of the bride dresses!  Is that possible?  Why on earth would a mother of the bride wear black?  That’s because yesterday – was October 31st, Halloween!  It happens once every seven years that Halloween falls on a Sunday.  While some brides and grooms pay a simple homage to the date with pumpkin centerpieces or guests throwing candy corn instead of rice – other couples go all out in the Halloween wedding spirit!

Many couples chose unique venues, others chose unique clothing – and some chose both!  Some couples chose full out costume party weddings!  Wedding designs inspired by Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Edward Scissorhands were on display at some Halloween weddings!

Catwoman and Batman are also popular wedding costume choices.  Viking-themed weddings were plentiful on Halloween as well.  Mothers of the bride had their accessories such as feathered capes and red corsets.

Mother of the Bride Humor

Mother of the Bride wedding humor is upon us as the Bridal Couture Event of the Year is about to hit New York City.  Be sure to visit Blake and Company’s wholesale mother of the bride and special occasion dress showroom.

Here’s the joke:

Mother of the Bride NYA beautiful young bride was excited as her wedding day was fast approaching.  She was flying high and nothing was going to burst her bubble – especially not her parents’ nasty divorce.

Her mother had discovered the perfect mother of the bride dress to wear for the special occasion.  Her mother was going to be the best dressed mother of the bride in the history of mother of the bride dresses!

However, a week before the wedding, the bride found out that her father’s hot new young wife had purchased the same exact dress as her mother.

What would you do?  Well, the young bride calmly explained the whole situation and politely asked her father’s new young wife to pick out a different special occasion dress.

The young wife refused to get a different dress and demanded that the mother of the bride change her dress instead.

The bride didn’t know what to do, so she turned to her mother for advice.  Her mother told her not to worry about it, that she would just choose another dress.

Her daughter was thrilled and together they went shopping for a new dress and they found one that was gorgeous!

After purchasing the dress, which was kind of expensive, the daughter asked her mother if she needed the receipt to return the original dress.  The mother told the daughter that she decided to keep both dresses.

The daughter was surprised and asked the mom what occasion would she be able to wear such a fancy dress to.

The mother just smiled and told her that she had the perfect occasion to wear the original dress to – the rehearsal dinner, the night before the wedding!

It seems that the mother of the bride got the last laugh.
