The parents of the newlyweds receive a lot of attention at the wedding. They are thanked for raising their children, given the right to be the first to give parting words, and are photographed a lot. Looking decent at such a moment is an urgent need. Read this article about what the groom’s mother should wear to emphasize the significance of the event in her son’s life and her role in what is happening.
What colors to choose?
Expressive, but not flashy. You need to be noticeable, but avoid color confusion and oversaturation. It is also a good idea to refer to the classic rule of ensemble composition, according to which one outfit should not contain more than 3 shades. When determining specific tones, start from the color type of appearance.
Color types and recommendations:
- "Spring" and "summer". Pastel shades are welcome, as they harmonize with light hair, eyes and skin. “Summer” can turn to cooler solutions, “spring” - warmer solutions.
- "Winter" and "autumn".This requires depth and color saturation. Allow yourself undiluted, pure colors. For example, having decided on a blue palette, choose sapphire or ultramarine.
Important! Women of the “winter” color type look great in black and white clothes. However, such an ensemble for a wedding is not recommended. And for the sake of improving relationships within the family, it is worth giving the bride the opportunity to be the only woman dressed in white at the evening.
Burgundy, blue and beige are considered very popular and safe options. Useful notes on using clothing in these tones:
dull blue and red strokes can add age;- excessively deep and rich burgundy – provocation, sexual aggression (do you need it at your own son’s wedding?);
- You can calm down or complement wine with black (or you can enhance its passionate expression, so be careful);
- shade the wine colors according to the strengths of gray, beige and steel (they should be present in small quantities, play the role of a frame, but not the main chord);
- the union of white and blue is youthful.
In addition to burgundy and azure, there are other colors worthy of your status. For example, emerald. This solution is primarily for women of the “autumn” color type and mothers who want to look majestic. This color looks great on long dresses and gives them luxury. It harmonizes especially well with velvet.
Important! When composing an ensemble for the mother of the groom, use the “color wheel” (a special device for determining the correct combination of colors and shades. It can be used in three ways. First: take tones from sectors located one after another. Second: take colors that are opposite each other .Third: take three colors equidistant from each other (you get an isosceles triangle).
Style and style of outfit for the mother of the groom
First, check with the newlyweds about the details of the event. This will avoid a number of awkward things:
- the future mother-in-law is dressed in an outfit similar to the bridesmaids' costumes;
- The groom's mother's outfit is similar in color and texture to the decoration of the restaurant;
- Mom's costume doesn't match the theme of the wedding.
The last point is very important. Nowadays, ordinary weddings are practically not held in large cities. Event or has a clear reference to something (for example, to a literary work or historical era), or hints at a connection with something recognizable and interesting newlyweds. And in such cases, mothers of newlyweds have to comply with the wishes of their children and adapt to them.
It is also worth clarifying where exactly will the unofficial part take place?. Today, it does not seem strange to decide to invite guests to change clothes after the ceremonial registration in order to arrange a walk or photo session in some place remote from the city, breathing beauty untouched by civilization.
If we are talking about a traditional wedding, then It’s worth choosing clothes, shoes and accessories in which you will look representative, but at the same time festive. You also need to worry about convenience. Traveling in a car and the need to actively participate in what is happening require a comfortable cut or the ability to stay in beautiful clothes for a long time, but causing slight discomfort. Choose one of the proposed options, taking into account your life experience and physical condition.Please note that the fabric of the festive outfit should not wrinkle too much, otherwise the mood will be ruined by the time you arrive for registration.
Don't forget about your figure. The “triangle” requires trapezoidal outfits, the “inverted triangle” looks good in full skirts, for the “circle” there is nothing better than the empire style, and the “rectangle” will need to use accessories and cut to define the waistline (belts and sashes will come to the rescue). For plump women, a V-neckline, asymmetry, and dangling jewelry will add additional charm.
What clothes do you prefer?
If you are planning a traditional wedding, then immediately abandon casual and business ensembles. Also, you should not wear what you would wear to meet your beloved man. In general, things from a regular wardrobe divided into three groups - for work, for a date, to visit a friend - are not suitable. You need something special to highlight your status as mother of the groom.
Dress
At this evening you have the role of a good and successful mother, and not just a woman. Therefore, refrain from the following decisions:
- mini;
- endless neckline (including on the back);
- long slit on the thigh;
- transparent fabrics (limited size element may be present).
Important! Be mindful of the time of year. A long dress in the off-season in unsettled weather is beautiful, but one awkward move, and the luxurious outfit will be “decorated” with a scattering of dirty splashes.
Ruffles, frills, sparkles - in this case, not the most successful decor. There are exceptions to the rule, but are you willing to spend time searching? It will take a long time to find a good option among models made of thin knitwear. Cause: an outfit made of this material cannot hide anything. Both the bra strap and the smallest folds of fat will be visible.A lady with curvaceous figures will be completely uncomfortable - the material is not capable of supporting her figure, but it willingly sags under the slightest pressure.
Important!
A little black dress is always appropriate, even at a wedding, no matter what psychics say about it. But in order to avoid misjudging the color palette of the outfit, you will have to complement it with the right accessories. Allow yourself a light clutch and shoes to match the bag, a bright or light cape, a snow-white bolero, a set of pearls (beads, bracelet, earrings, brooch). You don't need to put on all your jewelry at once. Choose one or two and create a look that is joyful, but at the same time reflects your passion for clothing of a certain kind.
Suit with skirt
Avoid the black and white palette and sets you see in the office.Festive notes in the costume you choose should prevail over the “official” look.
Regarding the length of the skirt, the same recommendations apply as for the dress. A short thing will not allow you to be seen as the parent of an adult son. You will appear in the role of a woman, but not a mother. The long one is not suitable for everyone, and more precisely, it is very difficult to choose a good option for short, plump women.
Important! If you refer to a length of 2 fingers above or below the knee, then avoid it in a straight silhouette suit. A slightly tapered hem will help outline the figure and avoid unfeminine age-related shapelessness.
Suit with trousers
There is a sign that mothers of newlyweds should not wear pantsuits to a wedding. Like, this will lead to a breakup. Decide for yourself whether to succumb to this superstition. When taking a pragmatic approach, don't forget to think about the color palette and material. Natural fabrics will help you survive a hot day with dignity, but after several changes of location, telltale “wrinkles” will appear on your clothes. Reason: Cotton, linen and similar fabrics wrinkle quickly.
Synthetics are free from this drawback, but also do not have the advantages of natural materials. There is only one way out of the situation: take a suit that contains both natural and artificial fibers.
Important! A jacket like a classic jacket cannot be worn on a naked body. A silk top or blouse is required. Consider a tunic. But avoid a button-down shirt in a men's cut. Excessive “officiality” combined with a reference to the “garçon” style is not the best solution.
Which shoes should you choose?
There is nothing better for the mother of the groom classic pumps. Just remember that an incredibly important and eventful day awaits you ahead. Most likely, you will have to run around a lot, resolving emerging issues and resolving unaccounted factors. Because for the sake of your own legs limit yourself to a small heel.
Alternative option: prepare several pairs of shoes. Be on parade during the photography and official part of the wedding. In the car, change your shoes to slippers (half an hour of rest will come in handy). In a restaurant, wear nice but comfortable shoes.
Accessories
If necessary, use a jacket, bolero, or cape. Take a clutch that matches your outfit. If you play an active role in what is happening, participate in the organization and conduct of the event and you need a large bag, do not take it alone. Better take two: one small (use at the official part of the event), the second – capacious (you don’t have to carry it with you, but you should keep it in a place where it will be easy to quickly get everything you need from it).
Hats at weddings are not as in demand here as in Europe or America. But a neat headdress can incredibly transform a lady: balance the figure, focus on the perfect hairstyle. Therefore, do not refuse such an accessory without trying on a couple of successful models.
