Mother of Bride dress

Sandy, on October 22, 2019 at 1:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
I'm the mother of 3 brides and have worn the same dress , which I love, but in different colors to 2 of my daughters weddings. Now the 3rd is getting married ( this is the 3rd in 16 months) and I would love to wear one of the dresses I have. My daughters okay with it but I don't know if it's "done". Thoughts?

    Just my opinion but I probably wouldn’t wear the same dress since the weddings have been so close together and likely you will have many of the same people there. That’s just me but do what makes you comfortable

    I personally do not see an issue with it, if your daughter is okay with it. And by "okay with it
    I mean really okay with it.. you don't want to feel like because she's the last wedding, you didn't care or invest in her day too. As a guest, I wouldn't remember what you wore to the previous weddings.

    I don't think anyone will remember what you were wearing. You'll have the same dress on in the photos but if that doesn't matter to you, go for it!

    My brother got married 11 years ago, my mom still has the dress she wore to his wedding. I told her to just wear the same dress because I don’t want her to purchase something new when she already has something she could wear in her closet.

    I don't see an issue with this. Wear whatever makes you feel great.

    I think it's fine if you like the dress and are okay wearing it again!

    If your daughter is fine with it, I think it's fine. Both of my brothers are married, and I asked my mom specifically to wear a different colored dress (and different dress) than one she wore for each of my brothers' weddings. She wore blush in my oldest brother's wedding, plum in my other brother's wedding, and will be wearing navy for my wedding.

    That's a lot of weddings - congratulations!

    I think it's totally fine to wear one of the dresses you have.

    I think it's great to rewear the dress if it's something you love!

    If she's cool with it I don't see why not aha saves money too. You can always accessorize it differently

    If you’re okay with it and the daughters are okay with it, there’s no reason not to!
