Traditionally the Mother of the Bride should get her outfit first. As I have said many times that weddings are not as traditional now as they used to be. However we are only at the start of wedding season and I am hearing more and more from the Mother of the Brides that the Mother of the Grooms are not waiting for the Mother of the Bride to pick their outfit first and that this has upset them.

So my advice to all you Mothers out there is to communicate. Whether it is with the other mother or the bride and groom. A wedding is such a joyful event and the build up is part of the fun so we want everyone to have the best experience.
