The Great Search for the MOB dress...


Wedding preparations are coming along smoothly. I am waiting on the proposal from the florist. (which I would really be excited if she would hurry up!) Anyway, now about the mother of the bride dress. My mom, grandma, and I set off a few Saturdays ago in search of the MOB dress. My mom has previously been looking at a number of dresses, but couldn't decide what one to go with. She found one that she really liked at the bridal salon, but couldn't bring herself to pay the outrageous price. She looked at borrowing one from one of her many friends who have daughters that have already had their weddings. None of the those were quite going to cut it. So on this Saturday, we were off to find the dress at maybe Macy's or somewhere else.

There were a number of dresses to try on at Macy's. Again, many of them were very pretty, but none of them were quite right. When then decided to head to Dillards. No luck there either. We thought it might be time to change malls. So we headed across town to West County mall where they have a Nordstrom. There were many fabulous dresses there. I even got myself a fabulous rehearsal dinner dress. Its not this exact dress, but it is this cut.

Then it was Mom's turn. She tried on a few dresses that just weren't working for her. My mom is not so much the traditional mother of the bride dress-type mom. She's way too young to dress in something like this!


So after several dresses like the one above, she finally started trying on dresses that were way more fun! And here's what she ended up with!!! Its fabulous!!!

Its a blue with a shimmer to it. I love the one shoulder!! I need to find another dress for myself and I'm thinking that I really could use a sassy dress with one shoulder. What do you think?

Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!
