Have you recently been invited to a wedding? Spring and Summer weddings are upon us and guests must decide on what to where. When selecting a special occasion dress there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, let’s remember the cardinal rule: Never wear a white special occasion dress to a wedding unless you are the bride.
Okay, now that we got the obvious rule out of the way, some of the other tips may be a bit more subtle. Do you think it’s a good idea to wear a black special occasion dress to a summer wedding? It’s not. Be bold, don’t bother playing it safe. Black special occasion dresses can be used for a night on the town, but be bold and instead choose a bright special occasion dress to a summer wedding.
If you really want to make a hit this season, try a long, soft, floral print special occasion dress for a chic and trendy. Blake and Company has many different special occasion dresses on display at our New York City Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom. We are the official dress showroom of Daymor Couture, Damianou, Ideas by Barbara, SIA SIA, Scaravelli, JSS Knitwear and VM by Mori Lee.

Weddings 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.
While you won’t find any Halloween mother of the bride dresses at Blake and Company’s New York City Wholesale Dress Showroom, you will find plenty of great deals on beautiful wholesale dresses! Come and see our mother of the bride and mother of the groom dress collections for yourself!

When it comes to Mother of the Bride dresses, the most commonly asked question asked by a Mother of the Bride is “What color dress should I wear?” Selecting the right color can be a daunting experience.
There are several items that must be examined in order to determine what colors are appropriate for a mother of the bride dress.
What time of year is the wedding? How formal is the event? What color are the bridesmaids dresses? What are the colors of the wedding flowers? What is your personal taste? The answers to these questions must all be taken into consideration before the mother of the bride and mother of the groom can be confident that they are choosing a color that works for the particular situation.
Traditional wedding etiquette stipulates that the mother of the bride dress should not be white. With that in mind – every other color is a possibility. As mentioned in a previous Blake and Company blog entry, black can be an excellent choice – especially for a black and white themed wedding. A red mother of the bride dress can be striking in the fall and winter.
The best route is to coordinate the mother of the bride dress with the bridesmaid dresses. The color doesn’t have to be a perfect match, but better to come close than the clash. This style is a classy way to coordinate and a mother of the bride can never go wrong with this strategy.
A more daring idea that can be a hit if it is done right is for the mother of the bride to contrast with the bridesmaids. To select the complementary color may be risky, but if done right – can be a homerun!
However, the best advice is to take the bride with you for a second opinion! This way, you are playing it safe, so that if anything goes wrong – the mother of the bride is not to blame.
