The mother of the bride goes to the church rehearsal where the wedding party practices what they should do and say and then there is generally a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner after which all members of the wedding party (including the parents of the bride and groom.) There is no dress rehearsal for most brides or wedding party, but the bride and her brides maids would have to go into the wedding shop where the wedding dress and brides maids dresses were purchased to be sure no extra alterations have to be made on any of the dress and the mother may attend this if she asks the bride (which is generally not a problem.)
I do.
Traditionally, it's during the reception, usually as the first toast of the event. The first toast is usually delivered by the father of the bride followed by the groom then completed by the best man. However it is becoming more commonplace for the bride, the bridesmaid and sometimes the mother of the bride to say a few words also.

At the rehearsal dinner, the host should get the party started with a welcome toast before the 1st course is served. The rest of the toasts should occur after dessert to avoid interfering with the waitstaff. If it is a buffet and more casual, the host may do a welcome toast after guests have served themselves and follow with a toast to the bride and the groom. After the host, the father of the bride can stand, followed by attendants and any other guests who may wish to speak. At the wedding, toasts are typically offered after the cutting of the cake. If you are doing a champagne toast, be sure all the guests have been served a flute. A common wedding trend is to forget the champagne toast" since many just take a sip and it's not cost-effective. It is perfectly fine for guests to toast with whatever they are drinking at the time of toasting. Since toasting is a highlight of the wedding reception, below are samples of toasts to help the best man and others on the wedding day. Remember your toast should last no longer than two minutes since the more you talk, the less people remember. If you forget what to say, remember this easy formula: Start with a little story that conveys the essence of the bride and groom, say how it relates to the happy occasion and how your life has benefited from knowing them and end by wishing them well
