Mother of the Bride and Groom Trends 2026-2027

The Mother of the Bride and Groom dresses are a wonderful way to compliment the colors and styling of the bridal party. The perfect Mother of the Bride and Groom attire is classic but also should allow the personalities of the women to shine through, representing how they have contributed to all the moments leading up to this special occasion! 

What we’re seeing trending this year, especially going into fall wedding season:

Florals

A floral dress is a classic, and this year we’re seeing lots of beautiful printed designs. Florals are a wonderful way to bring together multiple colors or add accents of different colors that compliment the wedding flowers and the bridal party colors. A floral or pattern is a terrific way to add some visual interest to your photos, especially if the bride and groom are in a traditional white and black attire.

Beading and Appliques 

Beading and appliques are a fantastic way to add texture and visual interest to a gown. A hint of sparkle and shimmer is also a wonderful way to elevate a dress, especially for a black tie or formal occasion. They also can create some dimension in contrast to a solid bridesmaids dress, similar to a pattern.

Lightweight fabrics and comfortable silhouettes

Lightweight is the name of the game when it comes to comfort, especially for a long day from busy pre-wedding preparations to breaking it down on the dance floor. Designers this year are putting an emphasis on comfortable and convenient additions to gowns like adjustable straps, built-in bra cups, and pockets designed to make the gown perfect for an all-day wear. 

Mother of the Bride and Groom attire should always be something that makes you feel extra special and confident as you celebrate the happy couple in your life, and looking your best is a part of celebrating the joyous occasion!
