Summer is a popular time for couples to get married. The heat, however, can make it difficult for women to find stylish dresses that keep them comfortable. As you shop for mother of the groom dresses this summer, keep these five features in mind.
Chiffon fabric is perfect for summer formal wear
Chiffon is a lightweight, breathable fabric made of cotton. The fabric’s sheer look makes it perfect for formal occasions. It has a sophisticated look, but its cotton fibers mean that the mother of the groom won’t have to sweat through the ceremony.
Linen dresses are comfortable and informal
Not all couples want to host formal weddings. Instead, many prefer a fun, informal gathering for their friends and relatives. A chiffon dress may look a bit stuffy in a relaxed environment; a linen dress offers the same breathability without the formal look of chiffon.
Sleeveless dresses are stylish and cool
Cotton fabric can help your skin breathe during warm days, but nothing is as cool as a sleeveless dress. Sleeveless mother of the groom dresses let the body regulate its temperature naturally.
Sleeveless dresses are also extremely stylish. Not everyone can pull off a sleeveless dress, but those who can should consider wearing them so they can look great while staying cool.
A-neck halter top dresses are relaxing and daring
Since the mother of the groom doesn’t want to draw attention away from the bride, she should probably stay away from V-neck dresses. A-neck halter top dresses, however, are light and sparse enough to keep you cool without getting too much attention. This option is relaxing and just a little bit daring without going overboard.
Short hems for outdoor summer weddings
An outdoor wedding ceremony can get uncomfortably warm during the summer. If you know that the happy couple wants to hold the ceremony outdoors, consider wearing a dress that has a short hem. A dress that stops at the knee will help your body breathe so you can stay cool and comfortable while your son gets married.
There are plenty of wedding dresses that a mother of the groom could wear during the summer. Look for these five features to look great and keep you comfortable.
