While the bride is the center of attention at a wedding, her mother deserves to feel just as cherished on such a beautiful day. Finding the proper mother-of-the-bride gown is a big part of it! Traditionally, mother-of-the-bride dresses were considered conventional, matronly, bland, and meant to melt into the background. MGNY is here to tell you you can wear a beautiful mother-of-the-bride gown! Styles and traditions have evolved, and many stylish mother-of-the-bride dresses are available to make you feel as stunning as your daughter at her wedding. MGNY from MoriLee provides the best silhouettes, lengths, styles, and colors for 2023 mother-of-the-bride gowns.
A-line dresses have long been considered the most flattering style, and as a mature woman, you may seek a mother-of-the-bride dress that will look and feel fabulous on your body type. An A-line dress with a fitted bodice and flowing skirt will give you an excellent trendy and comfortable silhouette, making for stunning mother-of-the-bride gowns. A style like MGNY’s Square Neck Evening Gown with Floral Appliqués (72704) is perfect. This A-line gown has an easy chiffon skirt and lovely crystal beaded, flower embroidered appliqués on a square neck bodice with cap sleeves. It’s a look that can easily be re-worn for future occasions. If you want to feel more elevated, MGNY’s Soft Net Evening Gown with Beaded Lace (style 72503) is our choice! This elegant A-line mother-of-the-bride dress, in soft net, is dreamy with a draped, off-the-shoulder bodice adorned with stunning three-dimensional beaded lace appliqués and a flowing skirt.
As the hottest season of the year, there are some things to consider when choosing the right mother-of-the-bride dress for summer. Fabric, silhouette, and sleeve choices are all things to note when selecting your gown. We recommend using lighter fabrics like a net or chiffon to help you feel cool during the summer wedding. It’s in your best interest to go for looser silhouettes, like A-lines and sheaths, that won’t cling to the body to allow more airflow to reach you. We say avoid fit and flare and mermaid styles. Summer is certainly not the time to wear a long sleeve dress. Strapless styles would be ideal, but a one-shoulder dress is brilliant if you’re uncomfortable going strapless. Straps and cap sleeves are great options if you’re looking for extra support in your dress. Our pick for an elegant mother-of-the-bride dress for summer is MGNY’s One Shoulder Ruffled Evening Gown (style 72505). The stretch crepe fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for the summer, and the trendy one-shoulder neckline will keep you looking and feeling fabulous. A sparkling beaded brooch helps to cinch in your waist, defining your figure, and the beautiful skirt ruffle creates a stunning texture that reminds us of ocean waves. In a soft periwinkle tone, you’ll be summer wedding ready in this elegant mother-of-the-bride dress. Your daughter will be prepared for her summer wedding, too, with these beach and summer wedding dress ideas!
For women who would prefer to keep their arms covered but don’t want to feel constricted by a long sleeve dress, you can wear a mother-of-the-bride dress with a jacket. Ideal for fall or winter weddings, the jacket can help keep you warm or offer a great transitional look from ceremony to reception. Whether trim and tailored or loose and flowing, an elegant mother-of-the-bride dress with a jacket is a great choice! Try a pantsuit for the woman who wants the non-traditional or prefers pants over gowns! MGNY’s Three-Piece Chiffon Evening Ensemble with Crystal Beading (style 72303) is an elegant mother-of-the-bride outfit that features wide-leg chiffon trousers, a sparkling crystal beaded top, and a billowing chiffon jacket for a genuinely unique mother-of-the-bride look.
A knee-length mother-of-the-bride dress may be more appropriate if your daughter is throwing a more casual wedding. Though short, a knee-length dress can still feel elegant and elevated to suit even more formal weddings, and it’s a great piece to wear for future events. These dresses from our MGNY cocktail collection are simplistic and refined to make you feel like a stand-out at your daughter’s wedding. Our Short Jersey Evening Dress with Beaded Neckline (style 72548) is a stylish choice with a soft-sweetheart, off-the-shoulder neckline accented by beautiful beading with modest three-quarter sleeves. The soft jersey fabric makes this dress ultra-comfortable and ultra-flattering on the body with the ruching detail. A short dress can still make a statement, and our One Shoulder Short Evening Dress (style 72543) proves that! The bold dress features a one-shoulder neckline with a statement ruffle detail at the shoulder, perfect for the chic mom who doesn’t want to blend in with all the other guests.
It may be your daughter’s big day, but you deserve to feel special too. Wearing a classic mother-of-the-bride dress can help with that. These timeless styles embody grace and elegance, perfect for the dignified woman and an excellent option for a black-tie wedding. These pieces will stand the test of time for a classic mother-of-the-bride dress that’s in fashion now and will be for years. MGNY’s Embroidered Net Fit and Flare Evening gown (style 72726) are timeless. The luxe evening gown has an elegant fit and flare silhouette, a sultry off-the-shoulder neckline, and stunning beaded appliqués over the sheer net. MGNY’s Fitted Stretch Crepe Evening Dress with Beading (style 72607) is also a great option. This stretch crepe style has a softer, flowing silhouette, delicately beaded cap sleeves, and an elegant bateau neckline. The beautiful appliqué at the waist has the effect of a sleek brooch and leads to a lovely sash.
The tea-length dress gets its name from the skirt length, as it was the dress or skirt style that women wore to high tea in the 1920s. Falling somewhere between the knee and ankle, a tea-length dress offers a more modest look than a knee-length dress. Though the style has vintage origins, these tea-length mother-of-the-bride dresses are chic, modern, and an excellent option for a more casual wedding. MGNY’s Tea Length Beaded Evening Gown (style 72512) is a unique tea-length mother-of-the-bride dress. The illusion neckline detail, sleeveless bodice, and palm-inspired beaded design make this the perfect choice for a summer wedding. For a gown that feels a bit more glamorous, there’s MGNY’s Beaded Fringe Evening Dress (style 72525). An elevated tea-length mother-of-the-bride dress that definitely takes inspiration from its 1920s namesake. The dress features a soft scoop neckline, short sleeves, an allover art-deco beaded design, and a chic fringed skirt. These looks prove that a mother-of-the-bride dress should be more varied and exciting.
Your mind might not instantly go to gold mother-of-the-bride dresses. Still, gold is a color that embodies royalty, wealth, luxury, and regality, making it the perfect color for an elegant mother-of-the-bride dress. It’s a shade that will beautifully compliment the white or ivory of your daughter’s dress without competing. If you want to feel regal, our Mermaid Brocade Evening Gown (style 72701) gets our gold medal. This luxe brocade gown features a cuffed v-neckline on a wrapped surplice bodice with a sparkling crystal beaded waistband in a sultry mermaid silhouette. Flirty and fun for the stylish mom, MGNY’s Fit and Flare Flutter Sleeve Evening Gown (style 72413) is an elegant gold mother-of-the-bride dress in a fit and flare silhouette with a classic v-neckline and flutter sleeves. The allover beaded botanical embroidered appliqués are a unique touch that will help you stand apart from the other guests in your important role as mother of the bride.
A bohemian wedding doesn’t necessarily mean the hippie 70s like some moms may be thinking of. Modern bohemian weddings are a trending theme that takes inspiration directly from nature. Think dresses in earth tones with beautiful botanical details and flowing silhouettes. Here are our picks for an elegant boho mother-of-the-bride dress. There’s MGNY’s Embroidered Chiffon Evening Gown (style 72517) for a subtle approach to a sleek boho mother-of-the-bride dress. The effortless A-line floats off the body in delicate chiffon with a leafy-look beaded bodice and free-spirited flutter sleeves for a beautiful boho gown. Another attractive option is our Embroidered Lace Evening Gown with Botanical Appliqués (style 72713). This boho mother-of-the-bride dress has a chic square neckline and flirty flutter sleeves over romantic Chantilly lace on a soft fit and flare silhouette. The crystal-beaded, botanical-inspired embroidered appliqués really make this dress a bohemian dream!

The airy chiffon fabric is incredibly forgiving, with a loose fit that floats off the body, and with a v-neck bodice adorned in beautiful beaded lace and illusion sleeves, this dress is an easy choice. If you want to show off more of your curves, an elegant dress like MGNY’s Fit and Flare Ruffled Jersey Evening Gown (style 72724) would be a great option. The jersey fit and flare is a supportive and figure-hugging fabric that will help smooth your shape.

The ruffle detail on the skirt is a fun twist, leading to a skirt slit to show off more skin.
