None more so than the mothers of both the bride and groom. The mothers have the tricky task of finding a delicate balance between looking glamorous, but not over-shadowing the bride; looking feminine, but not overtly sexy.

The good news is there are many more options now, no matter the how casual or formal the event.09940775be2516d2abf2275778922e7b

Gone are the days of shapeless chiffon tents, and they've been replaced with modern, shape-defining silhouettes. If you're not comfortable with your arms, you can find options with cap sleeves, elbow length, or 3/4 length sleeves. It's best to stick to neutral colors, like black, navy, metallics, so as not to match or clash with the bridal party.

Accessories should add some bling but in an understated way.Need outfit inspiration?  See our styled looked below: Marlee's by Tappers and SBG Designs have some lovely choices.  **Show us your MOB/MOG looks.Post in the comments or send us an email {Hello@Styleshack.com}.
