Winter mother of the groom dresses

Many couples choose this time of year for their nuptials, rather than the oh-so-popular summer months. Whether it’s a destination wedding hosted in an exotic location or in the couple’s hometown, the matriarchs of both families feel pressure to look as radiant as possible in honor of their offspring. That pressure can be compounded during the winter months as women may think their fashion options are more limited. Yet while it seems like it might be harder to find mother of the groom dresses and mother of the bride wear during this time of year, we’ve got some tips to make the process a little easier for both of the matriarchs in the mix.

Start by opening your mind to mother of the groom dresses made from fabrics you normally wouldn’t consider in the spring or summer. While chiffon is wearable all year round, other modals such as satin, velvet and taffeta are perfect for cooler weather and provide a dramatic and unique look. We’ve seen wide-ranging collections from Mon Cheri bridal fashion that are exquisitely crafted in stunning fabrics and innovative styles that just wouldn’t work during spring or summer. Plus, options for accessories are wider as well.

In addition to being able to wear cozier, elegant fabrics this time of year, you can also select a more dramatic color scheme when putting together a mother of the bride wear ensemble—that is, if the bride lets you choose your colors. Even if she doesn’t give up that element of control, she will probably steer clear of pastels during winter time, as stronger, richer hues are more in style, especially this season. For example, Mon Cheri bridal fashion for fall/winter includes mother of the groom dresses in the rich burgundies that are so ubiquitous this year, as well as regal shades of purple, fiery reds, emerald greens, deep pinks and black.
