Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Mother of the Bride Dress

Rebecca's mom wanted modest, with sleeves and full length.  She also wanted to her dress to complement her daughter's fall color scheme of rich reds and golds.  Rebecca's gown had a tulle pleating hem and mom wanted something similar.  So, I pleated organza around the hem.

Unlike my design session with Rebecca, which started with magazine clippings, my session with the mother of the bride started with a discussion around her body type and what would work best.

The conclusion - a slight A-line with a V-neck rouched bodice was a great complement to her figure...

 ...and to her daughter's overall bridal party design.
