Mom has a question: morning wedding attire

I think a long dress would be absolutely fine, especially since she's MOB. I probably wouldn't wear a long dress as a guest but someone in a significant role would look completely normal (to me) in a long gown at a wedding.

I love that dress. I think whatever she wants to wear is fine! It used to be taboo for anyone to wear black to a wedding. I see MOB in black dresses and they are stunning! A long dress in the morning is fine!

I wouldn't think twice about it if I saw the MOB in a long dress. That dress is lovely, so I would say she should go for it.

I agree. I've never heard of that rule. If that's what she likes and feels comfortable in she can wear it

I've never heard of this rule. I say your mom should wear it! Love the dress

Thanks, ladies. I thought so as well, but I think she just needed some more reassurance lol. :-)

That's dress is awesome. I've never heard this rule either. I think if someone is offended by what your mom is wearing they should take a hike. As long as she's comfortable and you don't care, nothing else matters.

I've never heard this rule. Go for it!

I'm in the boat that all of the fashion rules are stupid and you can do what you want.

So therefore, she can wear a long dress. I don't even see the logic in the rule haha.

That dress is gorgeous. If she wants to rock it let her. I've never heard of this rule and even if people had they won't care because its so pretty.

I love that you're having a brunch reception! I love brunch!! Lol but yes, your mother is absolutely fine wearing a long dress. I've actually never heard of that rule before.

I have heard of it but so what? If you and she like it, that's what matters. So pretty!

ps My son's mil and I wore long dresses to his and my dil's wedding (late morning) and then another, bit fancier one for the evening reception. Oh and the gap was hosted!

I think it's fine.

Wear what makes her comfortable.

"Rules" aside, I think the MOB can wear whatever she wants, except maybe something white.

My wedding is a brunch too. My mom is wearing a short dress only because that's her preference as she's 5'2" and feels frumpy in long dresses. My FMIL might wear a long dress.

I think whatever makes your mom feel beautiful is what she should wear, and the dress she likes is gorgeous!

I had an 11:30 ceremony and my mom wore a floor length formal dress and it was beautiful! I don't see anything at all wrong with it. She's the MOB, she should go all out DH's mother's dress was long as well.

I say go for it!

Thanks, ladies! I'm going to share this positive feedback with her so she feels more at ease.

Agreed with all of the above - long dress is completely fine!!
