It’s not easy to find mother-of-the-bride outfits that are actually flattering and fun to wear, especially not for the cooler months, but I’ve done some digging, and I’ve read some Amazon reviews, and I think I’ve come up with a really great list that’ll help you find the perfect dress for your child’s upcoming, beautiful spring wedding.
These dresses are elegant, they’re stylish, and they’re classic. If you’ve got multiple kids, you can probably getting away with wearing any of these great dresses for all of their weddings. And these all come in at budget-friendly price points, all under $100!
Feel the Flutter (27% off!)
This gorgeous Mother of the Bride dress doesn’t just look dignified, it looks a little bit fun. And a little bit mysterious. The ruffled cape (that’s actually attached!) provides a bit of fun texture and movement that’ll keep you feeling young and fun throughout the wedding.
A Floor-Length Moment
Floor-length isn’t always necessary, but for those evening weddings, it’s often a requirement. Be sure you’re prepared for the spring evening wedding you’ve got coming up with this stunning tulle dress that moves and flows and keeps you looking and feeling stunning.
A Fun Peek
This dress is a great option if you want something a little more laid-back. Maybe you’re a young mom or you’re just not the sort of mom who even likes wearing dresses – this dress feels like you’re wearing something comfy, but it looks elegant and trendy with the fun arm slits.
A Classic Silhouette
You can’t go wrong with the classic cape and cocktail dress combo, which is why you should snag this set before the glitzy wedding your daughter is having this spring. It breathes, it moves, it looks fantastic, and it keeps you looking classy and dignified.
A Slash of Style
You can’t go wrong with asymmetric slashes, and this asymmetric dress is one of the cutest out there. It feels a little more laid-back and casual than some of the other dresses you’ve checked out, but it still has the sort of buttoned-up tone you’re looking for.
A Fun Illusion
An illusion dress is a fun time, and this illusion dress is one of the prettiest and most elegant out there. It’s floor-length for the more formal, evening weddings, but the short sleeves mean you can still stay cool in the harsh temperatures.
Made for a Day Wedding (22% off!)
Maybe the wedding is much more casual, and if that’s the case, you’ll want something that really fits that situation. This dress is casual but still elegant. You can pull on a light cardigan if you want a little more coverage and style up a little bit with shoes and accessories.
Full Coverage
If you’re looking to get full coverage from ankles to neck, you’ve got to grab this gorgeous, flowy dress. Every bit of it has movement to keep you feeling elegant and fluttery while you spend the day celebrating your kiddo’s love.
One of the Gals
This Mother of the Bride dress feels a little younger and a little more like a bridesmaid dress, but if your kid thinks of you as one of the gals, it’s a great option that’ll keep you themed in the same vein as the bridal party, not sticking out.
Amazing In A-Lines
An A-line is a killer look for a Mother of the Bride, and this A-line is one of my favorites. It’s stunning, it’s elegant, and it’s cut in just the right place to flatter your figure, even if showing off your body isn’t something you’re comfy with.
Effervescent Elegance
This dress just feels frothy and fun and bright. It’s a great option for a spring wedding, because it stands out the way a Mother of the Bride should, but it doesn’t feel too standard or boring, and that’s always a win!
Wear It Any Way (8% off!)
The best thing about this dress is that it’s convertible, so you can style it in all sorts of ways, however you need to feel the comfiest and prettiest. And it means you can easily get away with wearing this to multiple children’s weddings.
Effortless Elegance
This gorgeous dress looks fantastic when you spin around the dance floor wearing it. The sleeves flutter, the hem twirls, and the A-line cut and minimal cleavage help you feel like a young, fun mom while you wear it, which is always the goal.
A Classic Set With a Pop
The cape and dress combo is a go-to for the Mother of the Bride options, but it gets a little bland after a while. Luckily, this beautiful set brings a little pop of brightness and elegance that you’ll feel great and gorgeous all night long.
Ruffle Some Feathers (22% off!)
Ruffles are always a good idea, and this ruffled gown is a great option for putting your best foot forward as Mother of the Bride. It’s a little trendier, a little younger, and a little more fun than the average MoB dress, which is why you’ve gotta have it!
Loose and Long
This gorgeous dress brings the loose and flowy vibes that you’re looking for, and the length makes it a great option for an evening wedding if that’s the timing you’re looking at. But it wouldn’t look out of place if it was a midday wedding, either!
The Shape of You (12% off!)
This bodycon dress is the sort of elegant that you’re looking for, that helps you to stay elegant and youthful while also keeping it classy and classic. It’s a sturdy fabric, so you don’t have to worry about wrinkles developing – they’ll fall out in a snap.
Bring the Right Sort of Drama
Drama is never good for a wedding unless we’re talking about dramatic styles. Hair, dresses, drinks, even cakes can all be dramatic, and you’ll be bringing the Old Hollywood drama and glam with this beautiful, flutter-cape gown you can enjoy dancing in.
A Lovely Look
If your daughter wants you to look a little more like a bridesmaid, then you’ll want to snag this gorgeous gown. It doesn’t pop too much, but it still flatters you and looks fun and elegant. And with a neutral color like grey, you can wear it and rewear it.
Bring Back the High-Low
Bring the high-low look back and do it with this fluttery, fun dress. You’ll enjoy twirling around the dance floor wearing this, and because of the height, you can actually get some air moving around your legs to cool you down while you party.
A V-Neck That Doesn’t Plunge
V-neck gowns are great, but if the v plunges too low, it’s no longer wedding-appropriate. The way this dress moves is so fun to watch, but it doesn’t steal the show. It’s a great, laid-back, Mother of the Bride gown for the standard spring wedding.
Cocktail Hour or Wedding?
This gorgeous gown would look just as perfect during cocktail hour at a fancy work event, so if you want a dress that you can use and reuse, this is the gown for you! It’s definitely mother-style, but it’s a little on the sexier side.
A Vintage Vibe
You can’t go wrong with a vintage look, especially not at a spring wedding, and this gorgeous vintage gown with the attached, embroidered capelet is a must-have for your Mother of the Bride outfit. Style it with flats or heels, it works with both!
Add Some Texture
Don’t just wear a regular dress; wear a dress that feels a little extra fun and brings a little bit more to the table. This sequin and chiffon dress brings it all to the table and keeps you looking and feeling like a million bucks.
A Simple Silhouette
This dress is that ideal length for a Mother of the Bride dress, but it’s not so long that it feels too old or stuffy. And the lace overlay feels like an extra elegant addition to the shape that feels like a simple, classic must-have.
Old Hollywood Vibes
Lean into the Old Hollywood style with this gorgeous dress. You don’t have to do anything extra to feel like a million bucks, but you could pair it with a soft curling hairstyle to really sell the look.
A Gown That Gives More
You can enjoy a strapless silhouette without worrying about being too revealing for a Mother of the Bride dress when you bring this gown home. It’s gorgeous, it’s textured, and the beautiful lace overlay keeps it feeling elegant and made for the moms in a wedding.
All the Accents
This gorgeous dress is all about the accents, and I think fun accents are the best way to add a little bit of style without having to worry about accessorizing. Which is one less thing to worry about, and that’s always a good thing.
Flutter and Fly
Lighter colors are an easy way to get the spring look without worrying about the cut and shape, but this dress happens to have both the color you love and the shape that you want to feel a little more elegant and fancy on the big day.
A Floor Length Dream
Floor length immediately makes a dress feel more elegant and makes it perfect for those fancier evening weddings. But the light pink color and the frothy fabric of this dress help keep it looking and feeling spring-appropriate.
Champagne Problems
You can’t go wrong with a classic like this chiffon dress. It’s great for twirling around the dance floor but breathable enough that you won’t sweat when you run after your daughter as she has those pre-wedding panics that everything is perfect.
For the Evening
The drop waist on this gorgeous floor-length gown helps keep it from feeling too old or outdated, and the heavy fabric helps to avoid wrinkles staying in the fabric from where you sat during the ceremony.
It Feels Fantastic
This dress doesn’t just look good, it feels good, too! The fabric is soft and breathable, making up for the fact that it’s floor-length if you get a little too hot. The lace design on the top makes it look and feel elegant, but since it’s not real lace, it doesn’t feel itchy.
Fun and Flirty
This dress is all about embracing trendy, youthful styles without taking the attention away from the star of the show. It allows you to stand out without stepping on the toes of the person who’s big day it really is – your kiddo.
Sparkle and Shine
Maybe you want something a little more sparkly and glitzy, something that feels a little more Great Gatsby. I’ve got you! This gorgeous tea-length dress is just the ticket, bringing that classic Art Deco style to your wedding ‘fit.
Spin and Swirl
Dance all night in this dress – it’s floaty, it’s fun, it’s lightweight, and it feels fantastic. And the fabric borders on wrinkle-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about sitting in the heat and creating wrinkles you’ll have to steam out.
