The 5 Best Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom Dresses of 2023

While shopping for the perfect mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom dress, do not worry about matching your bride’s-to-be gown or vision and focus on finding the best dress that makes you feel beautiful and stylish. You deserve your own fashion moment! Finding the silhouette that works best for you and fits the event’s season and theme is essential.

For example, if your daughter or son decides to have a black-tie wedding, you probably want to aim for a long, glamorous mother-of-the-bride / mother-of-the-groom gown. For a backyard wedding, you can look for light, flowy styles. Here are our all times favourites from Papilio collections that suit any style, body type and aesthetics. All our mother-of-the-bride/mother-of-the-groom dress styles are unique and ultra-elegant. Get inspired, browse online.
