Shop Dresses for the Grandmother of the Bride or Groom

What Should a Grandmother wear to her Granddaughter's or Grandson's Wedding?

So, what should a grandmother wear to her granddaughter's or grandson's wedding? Whatever she likes, really! Many mother of the bride dresses will work just perfectly for a grandmother of the bride, however sometimes grandmothers prefer a few extra elements in their attire! We get lots of requests for jackets, sleeves, easy-to-wear styles, and separates - pantsuits or skirts and tops!  Choose something that you feel comfortable in, both from the perspective of easy-to-wear, and something that suits your personality!

Whatever you wear, you'll want to choose something that suits your personal comfort and style as well as the dress code for the occasion! Some of our attire tips for mothers of the bride may help narrow it down! You may also want to choose your colors to be harmonious with the mother of the bride and wedding party!

Wedding Attire Guidelines for Grandmothers of the Bride

For a formal or semi-formal wedding, grandmothers may choose a formal gown, a longer style dress, or an elegant suit-like style. For a casual wedding, a dress is still appropriate, as is a pantsuit, or skirt and blouse or dress and jacket combination! When in doubt, check with the couple!
