The Queen Mother: The Authority on Mother of the Bride Gowns

The most important dress on a wedding day is the bride's.  Other important dresses include the bridesmaids, the flower girl, your almost sister-in-law, and various states of un-dress.

The dress that you may have thought about for a moment but put on the "later" list is the Mother of the Bride dress.  WAIT!! Put it on the "NOW"! Why?! The wedding isn't for 5 months. Yes, but your mom needs to have options for her gown, too!  And remember how in wedding world all dresses take longer than expected to ship?  Same applies to your Mother's Dress!

But it's just the Mother's Dress...it's not that big a deal...?

SCHWHAT?! THIS IS THE WOMAN THAT BIRTHED YOU!! And makes your favorite pancakes.  And taught you how to shave your legs. And helped you buy your wedding dress. (Or some other mushy nostalgic stuff.)  And she is also probably helping you on your big day in many ways from financial, to planning, to moral support.

Having said all that: MOM! YOU'RE IMPORTANT! And here to expound upon the topic is our owner, Pam Henderson (The Queen Mother) who is 1) adorable 2) has great fashion sense and 3) has great experience in the area personally and professionally!


Pam Henderson: "The Mother is the Hostess!"


We also decided to do a little bit of a fashion show for ya'll (I was hanging out with my friend from Texas).  Just to show you a few options of what is available to you lovely Moms!

Dress #1


This is one of Pam's actual dresses that she got through the store and then had tailored to her shape!  We love the elegant neckline and the gorgeous sparkley focal point.  The high, wide collar draws the eye upward adding to the upper body and minimizing the hips.  It also makes your waist look smaller with the smooth straight line.  This dress is actually available in a full length and Pam had it shortened for her event.  Seriously though: my favorite part is the neckline showing your lovely decolletage (fancy french for cleavage.)



And here's the back...super flattering!  Plus Pam knows how to stand to flattered her figure. TAKE NOTE EVERYONE!  She's doing it right.



 And THIS is the shoe option she chose to match with it!!  Perfect.  The sparkle matches the dress sparkle!  We carry this shoe in store and it can be ordered in black!  Beeteedubbs...great heel height.


Dress #2


This is one of Pam's Mother of the Bride dresses!!  (What's up Katheryn!) And it's GORGEOUS!!  She has been able to wear to other events because it's a real color and NOT just a beige or tan! 


You can see the buttons and the ruffle details in this picture.   It's a great fit that elongates the torso making you look long and lean using these little details.  And check out the sassarific back!!  A flirty little fringe all around the bottom of the jacket!

For this dress there are two shoe options.

Option #1
This is for you glamour girls!!  These Benjamin Adams shoes are faaaabulouuuus!!

Option #2:


For you ladies who looooove a good shoe but want more detail in the fabric not the bling.


Dress #3


And now for something a little more evening!! I LOVE this dress.  I was so excited when she pulled it for the blog because it's just soooo glamorous!  It's a really comfortable stretch fabric that moves nicely with your body.


Check out this collar!! Eeee!! It's such great detail!!  Seriously, if you have an elegant wedding to host, this dress will kill!! Like, in a good way, not a murderous way.  Ok, anyway, yeah, LOVE IT!  And let's not forget how hot Pam looks in this.  Which I will example below:


"DANG GINA!" That's what Jazmyn always says.  I don't know why she says it or what is means but I feel like it's SUUUPER applicable to this situation.  And by "situation" I mean Pam in this dress.

There you have it moms!! And if you are looking for something more chiffon-y there is always the option of ordering a bridesmaid dress and adding a sparkley brooch!
