Turning Design into a Bonding Experience

Looking for your mother of the bride or mother of the groom dress can be difficult! Many brides (and even some grooms) have a specific vision on how they want their wedding day to look. Going from their venue to their dress and decorations to just the overall color scheme. Often times, the bride is planning it all and wants to have a say in how everything comes together. This includes helping their mother and future mother-in-law find their outfits of the day.

Mothers and mother-in-laws often don’t know what to wear. Do they match the bridal party, each other, or something completely different? A great way to get an idea of what you should wear to your child’s wedding is by not only talking with the bride but also going shopping with her!

Shopping with the bride is a special way of bonding and finding something that you both like. You’ll get her opinion on what she’d like to see you in and be able to give her some options of what you’d like to be in. You’ll get to build your relationship through chatting about how the wedding planning is coming along, her overall vision, and what she’s most excited about. It may also help you feel included in the process. This is a great time to ask her if she needs help with anything as well as offer your assistance.

Another benefit of going dress shopping with the bride is hopefully being able to bond with your future in-laws as well. It’s a completely different experience hanging out with just the three of you females without the presence of any males. This way, you’ll get a better chance to understand your daughter or future daughter-in-law without anyone else around.

Here at That Perfect Dress, we strive to make your dress shopping experience a unique one by offering made to measure and made to order gowns. You even get to design your own dress! These opportunities take the wedding shopping bonding experience to the next level. Imagine getting to design your gown with the help of the bride herself! What a special piece of art that you’ll get to keep and remember the experience forever. You can even start the process together from home by looking at our get inspired page. This is another great “excuse” to spend one-on-one time together and get to know one another even better.

Custom dresses are so important because you can have your own style of dress made with the same material or colours as whoever you need to match. This ensures that everyone is comfortable and happy with what they’re wearing while looking cohesive in photographs. Everyone will definitely be surprised when you tell them that you got to design your own dress!
