Mother of the Bride Dresses

While it’s exciting to get swept away looking at beautiful dresses for the bride, don’t forget to celebrate this as a special time for you, too. At Rent the Runway, we’re here to help you find the perfect dress that makes you feel amazing.

Whatever the venue, our affordable formal dresses, jewelry and accessories from leading designers will help you enjoy the big day in comfort, style and sophistication.

Who is the mother of the bride supposed to match?
Look for a dress that harmonizes with the bride’s wedding dress and bridal party without matching. A few starting points to find your dream dress:

  • Go a few shades lighter or darker than the bridesmaid dresses.
  • Get inspired by a contrasting color from your bride’s bouquet.
  • Look for luxurious details like sequins, lace, pleats or beading.
  • Stand out against solid colors by choosing a subdued floral or jacquard.
  • Add sophistication with regal long sleeves or a dramatic neckline.

What length should a mother-of-the-bride dress be?
Traditionally, moms wear long dresses to their daughters’ weddings. But your choice will depend on the venue and dress code.

A breezy midi dress might be just right for a destination wedding in the sand. But, if the bridal party is going all-out glam in black-tie wedding dresses, find a floor-grazing ball gown of your own.
