As Mother of the Bride, you have one of the most important roles in your daughter’s wedding. 

From helping your daughter find the right dress to sorting out the guest list there are so many things to do. And the one aspect you should not compromise on is how beautiful you look during these important days. After all, you’re the second woman everyone is watching.

One very important detail to a  Mother of the Bride look is, indeed, jewelry. That’s why, in this blog, we have curated our best looks for each event leading up to your daughter’s Big Day. You can achieve these looks by styling different jewelry pieces that we picked especially for you!

1. Engagement Party

The engagement party is usually the first event on the itinerary and as the Mother of the Bride, deciding your look can be a hard task. For an afternoon garden party at your house, a floral dress with a matching choker and bracelets will give a perfect classy yet fun look. For a fancier party at a trendy hotel in the evening, you can’t go wrong with some pearls and cocktail attire.

2. Bridal Shower

A long-time pre-wedding favorite event, the Bridal Shower is full of sentiments, childhood story sharing, and best wishes. In terms of style, consider this day as an elevated Sunday Brunch. Not too formal, not too casual. Instead, a day that calls for a fun, comfortable and elegant outfit. Think wedges, floral dresses and, obviously, some of our fine jewelry pieces.

Emeralds and rubies are very vibrant bold stone colors, adding a splash of color and drawing subtle attention.

So that you can still make a statement while your daughter remains the center of attention.
