WATCH: Bride’s surprise mother-daughter dance brings everyone to tears
As a mother of the bride or a mother of the groom, you want to feel your best on your child's wedding day -- and finding the right dress may help you do just that.
Of course, you'll want to consider the venue, the dress code and any requests from the happy couple while shopping for your dress. To help you get started, we've rounded up elegant mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses at various price points and in different styles to help you find one that's just right. We've highlighted colors and fabrics well-suited for any upcoming summer and early fall weddings, whether it calls for semi-formal attire, formal attire or black tie.
For example, shop Tuckernuck's short tweed Jackie dress for a chic look for a courthouse wedding. There are also Lauren Ralph Lauren gowns under $300 and an Anthropologie flutter-sleeve dress ideal for an outdoor wedding.
