In honor of Mother’s Day, this blog is dedicated to mother & daughter duos who have turned to Janice Martin Couture to create unique and special looks.

While we know that the bride and her wedding dress are the main attraction at a wedding, the mother of the bride can look equally glamorous and sophisticated without hogging the spotlight. But this is certainly done with caution! A mother of the bride, an “MOB,” wants to show off a great look that reflects her personality and the happy occasion, but this may present a challenge to some who don’t want to look overdone or inappropriate. Finding the right color, fit, and style are the keys to standing out as the MOB, yet remaining second fiddle to the bride.  Some things to keep in mind include avoiding silhouettes that are too tight and too short. Wearing a brighter color is okay, but should ultimately be skin-tone complimentary in order to look one’s very best.  Being comfortable, yet stylish, will make the mother look dazzling on her daughter’s special day.

Janice Martin has worked with many mothers and daughters, creating custom gowns and ensembles for them to wear.

What is better than a design consultation that produces the perfect bridal gown…. unless, of course, it is a consultation that also produces the perfect MOB gown for a very special shared experience?
