Today’s brides are choosing more sophisticated styling and bolder colors for their wedding, and this is opening up some great options for the rest of the wedding party. Bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom can now find dresses in a wide palette of colors and styles to suit all fashion tastes. David's Bridal, in particular has some great mother of the bride dresses this season.

Easy on the budget? Yes. High on style, selection, colors, and wearability? Also, yes! Bright and beautiful colors, sleek styles, gowns or knee length dresses, and there’s not a matronly outfit in the bunch. Here are some of our favorites:

The Stretch Satin Portrait Collar Dress in deep midnight blue is designed to frame the face and flatter all body types. The wrap over cut and deep V neck accentuates curves and highlights a feminine shape while keeping a sleek and elegant silhouette.

And don’t miss the shantung short sleeve portrait collar dress in a warm jade color. Ideal for dark complexions, and conversely very pale skin tones.

For high fashion and classic elegance, take look at the Lace and Shantung Jacket Dress in a shimmery champagne color. The pencil skirt flatters all legs, while the jacket offers modesty for anyone who is self conscious about their arms or chest.

Looking for something with a little more drama? Take a look at this jaw dropping one-shoulder, floor length gown in a luscious purple hue. It comes with a lovely scarf that can be thrown around the shoulders for a little more coverage or to guard against the chill.

For a more casual affair, you’ll find a terrific black and white two piece pantsuit that features a very pretty ruffled collar. This is the kind of classic outfit that can be worn again and again to a fancy luncheon or an evening at the theater.

Formal or casual, David’s Bridal has some great options for fashionable and stylish mother of the bride outfits.
