While I know I’m supposed to look and feel the prettiest I’ve ever been on our wedding day, it doesn’t mean our moms can’t feel special, too. When it came time for them to start their search, I said it needed to be purple and floor length and that everything else was up to them. Sleeves or strapless, sparkly or simple, it didn’t really matter to me as long as they were happy and comfortable.
Mr. Macs’s mom is quite tall, so finding a long enough dress proved a difficult task. No matter! She has a tailor that’s made dresses for her in the past, so she plans on having one made for the occasion.
Mine picked out her dress awhile ago but wanted to keep it a surprise—not cool, Mom! Apparently I take after her, as she broke down and sent me a picture as soon as it came in. It’s a little too big on top but nothing a little tailoring can’t fix. My mom normally isn’t this camera shy; she just had eye surgery and isn’t allowed to wear makeup yet. I still think she looks great!

How involved were you with your mom’s dress search? Did you have it all planned out or did you relinquish control?
