expert advice

Vera Boumadi of Vera's Ladies Apparel recommends, " When looking for mother-of gowns, you should go to a place where personal attention, latest fashions and professionals are what you encounter when you first walk through the door.   Because it is an exciting time in your life, mothers-of should take comfort in working with a trusted professional who can meet their needs.   With individual attention you can enjoy the wonders of the wedding day, stress-free, with the perfect fit."


For the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom, special ordering that perfect dress can take much longer than most ladies think – or plan. According to Penny Dixon, Proprietor of Peneventures, "Special orders are a different story. Although each manufacturer is different, a good rule of thumb is to plan 12-16 weeks for your special order. With that type of timing, you will have the universe of dresses available to you and shipped in plenty of time for your big event."
