This should be the brides decision but personal circumstances should be taken into account. When I was getting married, I went dress shopping by myself to narrow down my selection. Then I took my mother and my future mother-in-law (her 2 daughters were married at the courthouse with only witnesses present). Afterwards she thanked me for including her and providing her with an experience that she would not otherwise have. Now it's my turn. My only daughter was killed just weeks before we were scheduled to go dress shopping. My son is getting married and his future bride has decided not to include me. She is aware of my feelings but says it is not 'traditional.' That explanation doesn't sit well since their wedding plans are not 'traditional'- my son will be standing with a best-person and not a best-man and my son is actively involved in all the wedding plans. I can say that her decision has tainted the way I think of her now. Advice: Yes, this is your day but please be kind and considerate in your decisions and communications.

∙ 14y ago- The mother of the bride and the Maid of Honor generally go with the bride while she tries on wedding dresses. Bridesmaids can join as well because you need to pick out their dresses for the wedding as well, but you could always do that another day as trying on wedding dresses is the most important issue.

∙ 13y ago- Some brides prefer to go with their own mother, but, if everyone gets along then there is no reason that the mother of the bride and the future mother-in-law can't go shopping for a wedding dress.

Is it proper for the mother of the bride to wear a red dress when the brides dress has a lot of red in it doesn't that take away from the bride?
No woman going to the wedding should wear the exact color of the bride. In the case of this bride wearing a wedding dress with a lot of red in it then it is fine if the mother wears a more solid color of dress or it will take away from the bride. The bride is the focal point and thus, the wedding party and female guests should not dress in the colors of the bride.This is up to you, the bride. Oftentimes, the bride will want the mother of the bride to wear a dress that is complementary to the colors of the wedding. In this case, the secondary color of your wedding dress is red. So, it is appropriate for the MOB to wear a solid red dress or a dress that has red tones in it alongside another color or colors. This really does not take away from the bride's dress or the bride herself.
