This Mesh Ruffle Dream dress by Steve Madden could be re-worn for lots of wedding activities and be dressed up or down. I love the color (plum velvet), cascading front ruffles, and affordable price tag (just $44.80 at Zappos!) are all positives in my book.

This drop waist ivory wedding gown from the Jewel by Priscilla of Boston line has a beaded neckline, halter straps, and drop waist. Beading and jewels can sometimes be way overdone, but this one shows enough restraint to be elegant and timeless.

I was drawn to this Wtoo Brides “Sylvia” dress for it’s soft femininity: the English net one-shoulder and ruched bodice, the lace overlay, and the delicate floral embellishment. It’s an excellent way to blend the modern one-shoulder look with a classic feminine wedding gown.

I have heard from so many mothers, that after the stress of assisting with planning, they haven’t left much time to find that important Mother of the Bride dress. And then, when they start looking, it’s hard to find something they like. I think Siri (bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses) has done a great job of striking the right balance between fashionable and appropriate. This dress is shown in rose damask organza and jade tissue taffeta, but it is available in many different colors.
