The mother of the bride is probably the most important person * behind the scenes during any wedding. She is her daughter's right hand in all phases of preparation, planning, dreaming and consoling. It's a good idea, though, for mothers to check up on their behavior a bit before the wedding rush begins, or the right hand might turn out to be all thumbs! - Before the wedding, it is her responsiblity to help her daughter compile the guest list, arrange the ceremony, and the reception details, keep track of the incoming gifts and keep the groom's family informed of all the plans. The bride's mother should also be on hand to help her daughter select her wedding dress and plan her trousseau. The mother of the bride is there to support and offer advice when requested. It's her daughter's big day that's coming up, and she should be allowed to keep it as close to her dream as possible. The mother will be needing to do some preparation of her own to look the best for the wedding festivities. She should consult with the groom's mother and agree upon the style of dress to be worn. This will, of course be dictated in part by the time of day of the wedding. It will be wise to make certain that whatever the setting, the bride's mother and the groom's mother wear the same length and basic style of-dress - this is no time for one-upmanship! Agreement should also be made on colors - it is assumed that the mother of the bride will have first choice, but it shouldn't in volve making a mountain out of a molehill. If the groom's mother is absolutely adamant about wearing robin's egg blue, (the bride's mother's favorite color) the bride's mother should see if she can't find another flattering dress - the results might be surprising. liie whole point is: The absolute best gift that a mother can give to her daughter during the rush of wedding preparations is a cool, level head and a soothing, loving touch.
