Should the bride’s Mother wear stockings?

The bride’s mother or women in general look more polished wearing stockings. However what is stylish and fashionable has become very flexible these days. Use common sense when making fashion decisions. If the wedding is in a very hot and humid climate it might make sense to go without stockings. If your legs look better with stockings wear them with closed toe shoes. If the bride’s mother is wearing a long dress, skirt or pants, stockings are not necessary.

Luckily there are more comfortable stocking options today. Visit a legwear store or the legwear department in your local department store to see what choices you have before you make a decision.

Tip: The bride’s mother should avoid patterned or colored stockings that focus attention downward. It is better to draw attention upward to your head and face area with good-looking jewelry, flattering makeup and an up-to-date hairstyle.
