    My mom will be the one walking me down the aisle and giving me away on my wedding day.  Althoughmy dad will be at the wedding, he hasn't had a part in my life like my mom so I am giving her the honors.

    We have looked for a dress for her but haven't had much luck.  She needs something that standouts, being the MOB, but nothing that overshadows me.  Any suggestions?

    My mom was my MOH and had a really tough time finding a dress that was bridesmaidy - but styled for a 52 year old!  That wasn't crazy expensive.

    I'm not a huge fan of David's Bridal (mainly cause the service at our local one is horrible!) but she found the perfect dress for herself there.  It's also a great place to start since they have SUCH a selection - it'll help her maybe find styles to focus on that she likes and are flattering :)

    This dress isn't super fancy.  It fit our simple intimate wedding perfectly.  The neck line and back at some embroidery and flair to dress it up a bit.  She was def part of the ceremony!

    Oh! I'm so glad that another person is having their mother give her away. I also did that. My mother wore a han-bok (korean traditional dress) for our ceremony and it was beautiful. That may not work for you unless you happen to be Korean, but I just wanted to give you a thumbs-up for deviating from the traditional!

    Congratulations on your wedding!!

    Mine did too! We couldn't decide on anything colorful, so we went with a black dress with small, simple white details...sort of our version of a tux. It was lovely, and she didnt feel like she was clashing or being too matchy-matchy.

    I've noticed that Nordstroms has beautiful gowns that can be worn by the stylish MOB, that isn't too "motherly."  I second the hanbok.  My Italian MIL wore own during our korean ceremony and she looked stunning in it too.
