Weddings are some of the most important days of our lives; it makes sense that every detail should be perfect. If your daughter and her fiancé decide to exchange vows during the winter months, an important thing for you to consider is to choose mother of the bride dresses that will keep you warm, while still allowing you to look stylish. This can be done in a number of ways including careful choosing of the type of neckline, dress length and material.
Whether you are wearing a dress or a pantsuit, you can afford to go a little daring with the neckline even in the winter if you desire. Choice of neckline is mostly about what you feel comfortable with. Many different types of neckline are available, with strapless, sweetheart and spaghetti straps being the most common. A strapless dress matches very well with a wrap or a jacket, creating a stylish image that is not compromised by the presence of distracting straps.
Choosing a longer mother of the bride dress style is a good choice during the winter, as it allows you to keep warm even if your arms or shoulders are a little bare. A long dress can be coupled with short sleeves or a more revealing neckline, as the material from the skirt will serve to keep you warm, and the overall appearance is one of elegance and sophistication.
Dresses for mother of the bride can be in any number of materials, such as satin, taffeta, lace and tulle. Choice of material is important in ensuring that you will be both warm and comfortable. Choosing a heavier fabric will work well, however, most winter weddings are inside due to the extremes of winter weather, so a heavy duty fabric is often not necessary. Instead, choosing a dress that is layered can increase warmth without the need to resort to heavy fabric.
