When deciding the length for a mother-of-the-bride dress, take the wedding dress code into consideration. Mother-of-the-bride dresses don't have to be long, floor-length gowns are typical favorites but cocktail and tea-length dresses are also good options. Besides, formal gown, short or long dress, and skirt-and-jacket ensemble are also popular — so long as it matches the style of the wedding. Some mothers opt for dresses such as the one shown below with a bolero jacket, shawl, or wrap. Pantsuits have also become incredibly popular among fun-loving moms!
