Open Question: MOB Roles

June 5th, 2007 @ 1:29 pm by Open Question

Hi,

My sister and I got married a few months apart but had very different weddings. I got married in a hotel ballroom in New York while she got married in Asia. I planned my whole wedding while she had to rely on others for advice and planning. Recently, she confided in me that she was unhappy with our mother’s lack of interest and participation through…

Mother (in-law)’s Day Present

May 10th, 2007 @ 1:05 pm by Mrs. Plum

This year for mother’s day, I decided to be a little “cheaper” than usual and make my mother-in-law a gift rather than purchase one (bc of the wedding and all ).

The other day when I was at her house, I was making 2 dahlia pens for my bridal shower - apparently, she’s never seen a “flower pen” before - so she was all excited and…

Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA Engagement Date: March 31, 2006 Wedding Date: November 3, 2007 Venue: Radisson Hotel About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra.

We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!

Momma Needs A New Dress!

May 4th, 2007 @ 11:32 am by Mrs. Kiwi

The ladies in my family are built weird, short and waistless. We have short torsos and carry most of our weight there, to add to the many reasons we loathe to shop for dresses and things like that. So, I guess you’d say we’re plus-sized, or just “not small”.

Now that my gown has been found, and my FMIL has her gown set, my mom…

Mother of the Bride Dress

May 1st, 2007 @ 4:11 pm by Mrs. Raspberry

My mom has gone and done it…

She finally found a dress (it is incredible!) and has ordered it from NetBride. I know several of you have inquired as to the reliability of ordering from an online company and so far, we have been extremely happy with their service. I will keep you posted as the order progresses.

So, without any further ado…

The top color is champagne…

Made to Order MIL

April 3rd, 2007 @ 2:35 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

Yesterday my future mother in law forwarded me a picture of the dress that she would love to wear for the wedding. Since she’s been a mother of the groom as well as a mother of the bride before, she wanted to wait for my mom to get her stuff, and then try to accent her dress, not overshadow.

According to these sites:(scroll down to the…

He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!

Now It’s Mom’s Time to Choose!

March 29th, 2007 @ 1:32 pm by Mrs. Lemon

My mom is one of the best shoppers I know, but she’s always out looking for something for everyone BUT herself. I’ve been scouring Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s in LA to no avail, and she’s been vigilantly checking the web and magazines for anything she might like. A few outfits were shipped home, but nothing passed “the test” and we were still at ground…

Dresses For Mom

March 20th, 2007 @ 9:30 am by Mrs. Plumeria

One thing I’ve realized as I plan for our wedding is that the big day isn’t just for us, but for our parents, too. I have a very close and nurturing relationship with my parents, and I know that they are anticipating the wedding day with almost as much eagerness as I am. My mom doesn’t normally show a lot of emotion, but I know…

My Hot Momma!

March 19th, 2007 @ 2:48 pm by Mrs. Emerald

We’ve got a winner in the dress category! For my mom, that is… she’s been on the prowl for something to wear to my wedding, so we spent the afternoon in the dressing rooms of Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor and Nordstroms. She had already gone through numerous outfit changes, all of which produced an “Ehhh… that’s just ok…” reaction from both of us. Taking…

MOB Dress(es)

March 12th, 2007 @ 9:34 am by Mrs. Plum

Today, I took my mom, sister, and aunt to start searching for the perfect MOB dress. The shopping gods must’ve been smiling down on us today because we found not one, but TWO great dresses.
The funny thing is, they’re absolutely nothing like what she’s ever worn before and nothing like what I had envisioned for her!

We found both dresses at Whatchamacallit Fashions:

Mother of the Bride Dress Option

March 7th, 2007 @ 4:13 pm by Mrs. Plum

What do you think?

(also Saeyoung Vu Couture)

Too young? Too plain? I’ll definitely add a shawl for her…..

Opinions, anyone?

I don’t want her to look old because she’s not, so no long dresses paired with long sleeve blazer-type things.

What designers are the best for mother dresses?

My Beautiful Mom

February 7th, 2007 @ 12:00 pm by Mrs. Blueberry

Last Sunday, Mama Blueberry and I went back to Fashions at Large (the shop we got Katie’s bridesmaid dress at) to find the perfect MOB dress for her. Katie and I had seen several cute dresses when we were browsing the day before, and I really wanted my mom to try on a couple.

My mom tried on several gorgeous dresses, and eventually found one really…

Mommy Dearest…

January 10th, 2007 @ 5:30 pm by Mrs. Emerald

Last night I was chatting with a girlfriend who said that her mother disliked most of her wedding-related choices. This made me pause and think… I guiltily realized that I’ve been leaving my mother out of much of my wedding planning. Well, we did choose the venue that she and my dad always wanted me to get married at. And since they are paying for…

Ack! I need help finding an appropriate mother-of-the-bride dress for my stepmother. She’s not old enough to be my mother (late 40’s) so I don’t want to dress her like she is. Any suggestions on where to shop? It’s a Friday evening, summer wedding that’s not black tie, and we’re taking photos outside before the ceremony.

Thanks - you guys are the best!

Mama’s Set!

I know, I know, I’m supposed to be blogging about the bazillion things I promised to blog about, but when you’re so busy getting things done - you find you have little time to blog at all.

On top of our down-to-the-wire wedding planning, my parents moved out of their house. Tomorrow morning they will hand the keys to the new owners and my mom…

Mr. Spider’s Momma

August 6th, 2006 @ 7:10 pm by Mrs. Spider

Yesterday we went shopping for a gown for Mr. Spider’s mom. “We” consisted of me, Mr. Spider, his dad, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend and his mom’s friend. Like an army we went to Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island. What started as an army quickly dwindled down to just Mr. Spider’s mom, her friend and I. We hit Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s and Jessica McClintock.…
