7 Things NOT to Do as the Mother of the Groom

Your son is getting married, congrats! Being the mother of the groom is an amazing experience, but knowing exactly what your mother of the groom duties are and navigating the dos and don’ts can be a little tricky. Avoid the following faux pas and you’re sure to rock it as the MOG!

Here are the seven things a mother of the groom should never do.

Wear white

Same goes for ivory, cream, or any other light neutral. The mother of the groom donning one of these hues is a surefire way to make the bride (and guests) feel awkward.

Dress like a bridesmaid

Find out what the bridesmaids will be wearing and opt for a dress in a different color and silhouette. Coordinating is great, but blending in completely? Not so much.

Overly criticize

Your son and his fiance may choose to do something differently than you would have done it, and that’s OK. They really need your love and support during the planning process, so reserve judgment and resist the urge to make passive-aggressive comments or push your own expectations on them.

Insist on upping the guest list

Traditionally, the bride’s family and groom’s family are each allotted a certain number of guests to invite. It can be hard to narrow the guest list down, particularly with a more intimate wedding, but that doesn’t mean the mother of the groom should consider her designated portion up for negotiation. Just remember that the bride’s family is whittling their list down, too.

Skip the bridal shower

Showing up to celebrate your future daughter-in-law will likely mean more to her than you might think. If you really can’t make it to the bridal shower, a gift and a heartfelt card from the mother of the groom is the way to go.

Make empty offers

The bride and groom will undoubtedly appreciate the mother of the groom's help on even small tasks, but don’t offer unless you mean it. Volunteer to lend a hand with a few specific things you know you can follow through with.

Upstage with the rehearsal dinner

Planning a nice rehearsal dinner is a generous gesture, but don’t go so overboard that it’s actually nicer than the wedding itself. Keep the budget, venue, details, and overall tone of the big day in mind and throw a simpler, more laid-back affair.

Mother of the Bride Outfit Ideas

The profound beauty of the bond between a mother and daughter is beautiful. From the moment of bringing you into this world to nurturing you, she holds an unparalleled place in your life. Since your birth, her deepest desire has always been for the person you marry to cherish and love you just as she does.

There's perhaps no greater source of encouragement for a bride on her special day than her mother. She's your first and foremost supporter, and original bridesmaid, capturing a bridal moment with her becomes an indispensable memory that every bride should prioritize.

Hence, on your wedding day, as you embark on this new journey with your partner, it becomes imperative that your mother feels cherished and radiant as she witnesses one of the most significant moments in both of your lives. To facilitate this, we offer a selection of exquisite outfit choices for your mother to wear at your wedding!

As the wedding rings and the excitement mounts, one of the most significant moments is when the mother of the bride steps out in her elegant attire, radiating grace and sophistication. In 2024 , embraces a fusion of tradition and modernity in the realm of wedding fashion. Among the plethora of options, the Mother of the Bride Lehengas steal the spotlight with their timeless charm and contemporary flair. 

Why does the bride's mother need to dress absolutely right for the wedding?

The true host of the wedding is actually the bride’s mother. She is the one who graciously acknowledges and remembers distant relatives, third cousins, and even random neighbors.

The bride's mother is the primary host of the wedding, responsible for welcoming guests, ensuring their comfort, and engaging in conversations with them. Every attendee eagerly anticipates meeting her, Thus it is important and she should dress for it!

Among the  wedding preparations and between a multitude of relatives and friends, the bride's mother has an important role, making decisions ranging from floral arrangements to menu selections. Hence, it is imperative for her to exude importance through her attire.

Furthermore, for spirited mothers, ensuring that guests acknowledge her beauty or attribute her daughter's beauty to her is crucial. Hence, her attire must radiate elegance and charm.

While Indian mothers typically prioritize elegance and grace in their attire choices for their daughter's wedding, it's essential to consider a few factors:

Ditch the stereotype of traditional Indian sarees like Banarasi or Kanjivaram saree. Explore unconventional yet elegant Indian saree options.

Light colors are mandatory for mother-in-law 's, choose hues that complement your complexion and enhance your radiance.

Opt for conservative cuts and traditional Indian outfits while infusing a touch of personal style.

Avoid outfit similarities with your daughter's attire to maintain a distinct impression.

Steer clear of black and white due to cultural connotations. Opt for alternatives like deep navy or maroon and lighter shades like blush pink or peach.

Embrace minimal embellishments to maintain elegance and ensure your attire complements rather than overshadows your daughter's ensemble on her special day.

In traditional Indian weddings, there are specific dressing guidelines for all attendees, and the mother of the bride must adhere to them. We believe that the most suitable attire for the bride’s mother includes options such as a saree, lehenga Choli, or salwar suit.

Let's delve into the captivating trends of Mother of the Brides that are making waves this year.

 A Golden Kanjivaram Saree

Never settle for anything less than authentic Indian handloom silk when selecting the saree for your daughter's wedding.

A Vibrant Patola Saree

If you love to wear bright colors, consider opting for a Patola saree. Its intricate designs, richly woven in silk with a plethora of colors, render it a distinctive beauty, exuding a unique elegance.

Elegant Lace Dress - Size 6 - It's Gorgeous

[theheadlessgroom]

(8, 15, 39 and 40 for June and Wilhelm, please!)

Thank you!

8. There's a lot the two love about one another, but if they had to pick one, Wilhelm would likely choose June's compassion: She has such a gentle touch with everyone and everything, from young children to the plants she grows in her garden, and her patience and kindness and understanding always shines out like a ray of sunlight, and Wilhelm has always admired that quality in her.

Conversely, June would likely choose Wilhelm's cheerful outlook: He is a free spirit who loves seeing where the wind takes him and sees the beauty in even the smallest things in the world around him, and that good nature and confident "glass half full" approach to life is a quality June has always admired in him.

15. Tomorrow's Gonna Be A Brighter Day by Jim Croce, full stop: The singer acknowledges that they haven't always been perfect, that they've mistakes in their relationship, but they're determined to make things right with their loved one, that come tomorrow, everything's going to turn out right. It has that warm, loving, folksy sort of sound that feels right for June and Wilhelm's relationship, and just feels like a song he would sing to his Junebug.

39. Their first love confession came, honestly, not too long after June asked Wilhelm to come stay with her after he was kicked out of the hotel he'd been staying at: There was an undeniable attraction between the two, something they were playfully testing the waters of through subtle flirtations and little looks and gestures until, finally, one evening as they cleaned up after dinner, June looked to her houseguest and told him she loved him. Wilhelm didn't hesitate in telling her he loved her too, and from then on, they were an item.

40. June (contrary to what some people in New Orleans think she should feel) had no regrets about their relationship, but Wilhelm did: Not because he married June or had a son with her, but because he wasn't there for them on account of dying so early on in Randall's life from his addiction. His death led to June having to work several jobs in order to support herself and Randall, with Randall oftentimes joining in helping his mother, making for a much harder life for them, and if Wilhelm could go back in time and change the outcome of that day on the water, he would in a heartbeat.
