About Mother’s Fashion*
When it comes to the attire of the mothers of the bride and groom on the wedding day, black uchikake (an elegant kimono) is a classic and standard image.
Although it is a formal attire that doesn’t depend on the venue or the guest list, of course, a long dress in Western style is also considered formal wear.
Here are some recommended mother’s fashions that enhance the celebratory scene! ♡
Brides, what do you plan for your mothers to wear at the wedding...?
Long dresses are chosen for occasions like this ♡
“I want it to be a casual wedding at a restaurant, so I’d like my mother to enjoy herself in Western attire instead of traditional clothes.”
“The venue's atmosphere seems better suited for Western attire.”
“It’s not that formal of an occasion, so I had her wear Western clothing.”
“My mother said she preferred Western style.”
"Isn’t it strange that the bride and groom are in a dress and tuxedo, while the father is in morning wear, and the mother is in traditional clothes?"
"Since it’s a family wedding, we opted for Western attire."
“Western attire is easier for morning preparations than traditional clothes, so I asked her to wear Western to minimize the burden.”
"Since it's a resort wedding, I want her to wear a dress in a bright color!"
These are some of the reasons.
Certainly, in the wedding ceremonies I have attended, many of the mothers of the couples opting for relatively casual restaurant weddings or garden weddings wore long dresses*
(Conversely, in hotels or specialist wedding venues, the ratio of black uchikake was higher.)
Recommended Shops for Long Dresses ♡
If you have decided to have your mother wear Western clothing, the next question is where to procure the dress.
Given her age and the fact that this is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, I want her to wear something nice...!
So, I went looking for a store.
I found a wonderful shop for mother's long dresses called 【Fanta Dress】 located in Toyosu, Tokyo, so I would like to introduce it! ♡
