MOB question...

hello ladies... what are you all putting your moms in? i am having a hard time. some dresses are SOOO expensive and i really don't want to ask anyone to pay that much for a dress... it shouldn't cost within $200 of MY dress!

so where are you getting your dresses from??

My mom will choose her own dress. She is going to go to 'My Daughter's Wedding.' I think its in Great Neck. She got two fabulous gowns there for my brother and sister's weddings, so I know she'll find something great for mine too!

My Mom is looking into Rina DeMartella dresses. They are very expensive but beautiful. My Mom also looked at Montage dresses too. Those are more affordable.

Re: MOB question...

I didnt put her in anything lol i wanted her to pick out something herself that she liked and not make that decision for her. I would just go shopping with her and let her look at the price range she wants to look at and the styles she wants. SHe has to wear it all day so she should like it and be comfortable with it.

I went with my mom to look, but she made the decision on what to wear and how much to spend. All I cared about was that she was happy with it.

I even went with MIL when she got her dress and same situation.

Both my mom and MIL got their dresses from the same place. They got it from OZ boutique on Austin street
