Wedding Plans: Mother of the Bride

Last weekend while my mom was visiting I made us a little appointment at Bloomingdale’s for a little personal shopping experience.  Our goal was to find a dress for my mom to wear to the wedding.  The look I had in mind was glamorous and fun.  As we get older age is a weird thing to discuss, but I would say that my mom is young and she wants to have a good time at the wedding.  At any family gathering my mom is always the first one to start dancing.  So we definitely wanted to play to her personality and not put her in an ‘old lady’ dress. 

We tried on some beautiful dresses, 3 that looks beautiful and she could have walked out of the store with, but one of those just stood out, as soon as she put it on, we all new.  Below is the dress she picked with my own selection on jewelry.  She already has shoes, but they are similar to these and she wants to have some sort of red jewelry (since red is one of my wedding colors).  So I picked some simple drop earrings from Kate Spade and a beautiful bracelet from J.Crew.

I hope that I can make more of these boards for my bridesmaids too.  My goals is that each person in the bridal party has their own individual look, but when we are all together everything clicks. 

Any beautiful plans for the weekend?  T and I are doing some pre-wedding things and then Sunday I will be getting ready for my trip home for some family time and bridal showers, along with making some new lovelies for my etsy shop.  Did you hear that I'm going to host a giveaway once I reach 100 followers?  Well I am so tell your friends!
