When it comes time to watch your daughter walk down the aisle, it can be hard to pick an appropriate dress to wear. After all, you want to look your best but you don't want to draw attention from her big day, and it's easy to get carried away when looking at all the choices out there. Lucky for you (and the wedding party), Alyce Mother of the Bride dresses are designed with you and your unique situation in mind; they offer dresses that are comfortable, flattering, appropriate to the occasion and designed with a mother in mind.

DRAMA VERSUS SIMPLICITY

There's enough potential for drama on a wedding day without adding dress choices to the mix, so when choosing a dress to compliment the selection of flowers, gowns, and location which your daughter has made it's a good idea to stick with something simple. Long gowns are perfect for formal weddings, and Alyce Mother of the Bride dresses offer a number of selections of this sort. With dresses trending toward strapless or sleeveless, you'll find body-fitting gowns which emphasize your bust and skim over stomachs and hips, while hiding legs from view. Alyce Mother of the Bride dresses come in all shapes and sizes, just like you!

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE MODEST?

If you'd prefer not to show off the skin associated with sleeveless and strapless dresses, Alyce Mother of the Bride dresses also offer options like the In The Midst of Decadence Lace Evening Gown, with elbow-length sleeves and a wide scooped neck, both of which contribute to the impression of a slim waist and elegant form. Cap sleeves on the Surrender to the Night Evening Gown offer a solution for those who want to downplay broad shoulders, and adding Give Me Fever Lace Evening gowns (available in eight colors) or the Hot Love Lace Evening Gown (available in four colors, and far more modest than its name might suggets) will make your options for selection both varied and suitable for a wedding occasion.

THAT YOUTHFUL LOOK

What if your daughter's wedding is a little less formal? Alyce Mother of the Bride dresses offer a few different options for dresses like the Imperials Nights Strapless Cocktail Dress and the It's Your World Tank-Style Cocktail Dress, or the Rign Over Strapless Two Piece Evening Set and Rio Nights Strapless Cocktail Dress with Bolero Jacket. These dresses are great for the ceremony or the receiption if the celebration is an intimate gathering or a large party, and you want to break out some moves on the dance floor after your daughter and her husband have their first dance.

PICKING THE BEST DRESS FOR YOUR DAUGHTER'S DAY

There are several steps you should take when looking for the best dress to wear to your daughter's wedding or her reception. In addition to considering the theme and setup of the wedding, you should choose a dress that is flattering and not too revealing. For traditional weddings, light colors (although never white!) will let you look elegant without coming across as matronly. Depending on your skin tone, you can opt for deep, rich, bold colors from Alyce Mother Of the Bride dresses - colors like green, purple, blue and red - and find something that will flatter your body by considering whether something form-fitting is going to be the best choice. Some women will find that dresses that offer cinched waists and wider skirts will suit their figure and allow them more freedom of movement.

CONSIDER THE BRIDE'S WISHES - IT'S HER DAY, AFTER ALL!

No loving mother wants to overshadow her daugher on this special day, so if there's an opportunity to get the bride's opinion on the dress you should wear it's worth asking which one she feels best compliments the atmosphere at her ceremony and receiption. For some brides, this kind of consultation will prove to be an important part of her decision-making process, while others might remark that they just want you to find something you look nice in and feel happy wearing. If she gives you this advice, then you can follow your taste and get the dress you feel most comfortable in, which you feel flatters you most.

CAN YOU WEAR YOUR ALYCE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE DRESSES ON OTHER OCCASIONS?

The short answer is, of course! Many of Alyce's Mother of the Bride dresses are suitable for numerous occasions - not just weddings.
