Daymor Mother of The Bride | 559 Dress Details

This gorgeous V neckline dress features a wavy satin flounce detail at the shoulders and a draping effect that glides down leading to the front slit. The lightweight crepe moves into a fitted silhouette with a hint of rhinestone belting at the waistline. This timeless look will still draw attention in photos for years to come. 

Daymor Mother of The Bride Dresses | How To Choose

Choosing a mother’s dress or a special occasion gown is one of those events that most people approach with trepidation. It’s a task that requires forethought and consideration for everyone in the bridal party or attending the special event. You want a classic look, but nothing dated. You want to look modern, but not trendy. Definitely want to avoid a matronly look, but don’t want to look like you’re trying to go back to prom. See? Just thinking about it is causing worry lines to pop. One way to avoid those pitfalls is to choose a gown like style #559 from Alexander by Daymor.

Daymor Mother of The Bride Dresses | Details for Sophistication

The clean sophisticated lines on this gown will flatter every body type. It offers modest coverage but offers a somewhat daring v neckline and side slit. The use of two-dimensional fabrics showcased on this gown gives it a more modern twist that will resist looking outdated. 

A bonus feature about wearing this gown is that you’re not locked into purchasing speciality foundation wear to pull off this look. A regular bra that provides lift will absolutely work for both style and comfort throughout the day. 

Daymor offers this gown in nine different fashion forward colors to match any bride’s aesthetic. Shades offered for special order are teal, periwinkle, sapphire, midnight, violet, aubergine, cranberry, pearl, graphite and black. Pairing any of those colors with a diminutive diamond necklace and earring combo to match the rhinestone peek-a-boo belt is a perfect finishing touch.

Designer: Casablanca

Why We Love Her

Alice is a beautiful and well loved Casablanca designer wedding dress! Plus, she is just the perfect addition to our gallery! We think that is pretty obvious at first glance.

This gown is absolutely exquisite in her fine details of lace placement and overall silhouette. The lace pattern is one that takes our breath away, which makes her stunning even from first glance.

Alice comes in Ivory/Nude/Ivory/Silver (shown in the photos) and also comes in Ivory/Ivory/Silver. She is available in curvy sizing as well!

All in all, from head to toe – Alice is gloriously intricate and stunning from every angle. At the top, we have two thick sheer straps which effortlessly expand to create a gorgeous bodice. The bodice also showcases a symmetrical lace throughout, with a beautiful plunging neckline. Atop the lace is hand sewn beading gently tracing out the paisley patterns ever so delicately. A personal favorite detail of ours are the three-dimensional flower petals which add a beautiful finish to this stunning lace pattern. The bodice is complete with a lovely low back and applique continues into the top of the skirt.

Alice is full of surprises, one of them being the lace pattern picking up on the front hem of the dress! The beautiful detail of the top of the gown gives a glorious finish below, with another beautifully symmetrical lace configuration, which trails on the sides to the stunning train.

Speaking of the train, we have never seen anything like it! The scalloped edge of this train is superb for the lace and applique detailing, sprinkled with those amazing flower petals and beads once again, it is 110” of pure extravagance. This gown is absolutely to die for!

She’s Perfect For

Alice is everything but lowkey. She is fit for an elegant and fabulous wedding where every detail can be shown off to all who gaze upon her. Due to her gorgeous train, she would look incredible walking down the aisle of any cathedral or church, as well as any outdoor venue which catches some sun rays! Due to her breathability, she would do wonderfully for a summer wedding without overheating the bride. No matter what, the train and matching detail on this beauty will photograph incredibly, and will have you looking back and loving it for years to come!

What Makes Her Special

Overall, Alice is romantic as they come. The well-thought out detail of her is built to accentuate any body type. Similarly, she is created with comfort with her soft crepe and thicker sheer straps. She is truly one of a kind, with many unique and rare details all crafted into one gorgeous and modern designer wedding dress!

Jolene from Morilee | Why We Love Her:

Jolene from Morilee is the trendsetter of the ball. With her flawless silhouette and pleated slit, she has all heads turning. It is not often that we see a dress joining both a satin skirt and a sheer lace top in holy matrimony, but it pairs just as nicely as you and your fiancé.

Jolene from Morilee | Dress Details

Jolene comes in Ivory/Honey (as shown above), and Ivory/Porcelain. From neckline to toe, there is only one word for Jolene: Fabulous! She is a walking work of art. We begin atop with her gorgeous sweetheart neckline and glittery plunge. This bodice is a show stopper and will rock on any body type! The bodice contains beautifully intricate floral appliqué, with leaves flowing throughout and even gentle beading to make her shimmer in the sun (or moon) light. She is perfectly symmetrical, with a gentle layer of glitter tulle underneath it all to pull the look together. Dividing the bodice from the skirt is a delicate floral lace belt along the waistline.

Jolene’s skirt is truly to die for. Delicate satin flows from the waistline into a beautiful Aline silhouette, pleating into a fun slit on the right side. From the back we see a beautiful trail of buttons from the waistline all the way down to the end of the train. This beautiful matte satin is elegant and also lightweight, giving the bride the satin look without the stiffness; the best of both worlds.

She’s Great For:

Jolene is a statement piece who would match amazing with a statement venue! A country club, hotel, or ballroom would do wonderfully with her. She is great for a gal who wants a sleek and classy wedding day with a hint of glamor. We think she would be amazing for a New Years Wedding, but let’s be real; she could truly rock any day of the year!

What Makes Her Special:

Jolene features trends from way back when but shown in a sleek, modern, and trendy way. She comes with a detachable long sleeve featuring the puff at each shoulder. These sleeves are made with the same iconic glitter tulle as the bodice of the gown, and really add a special shine to the overall wedding day look.

Another special feature about Jolene is her corset laced back! One of few modern dresses to feature a lace up corset, Jolene is just as fantastic from the back as she is from the front. A beautiful satin cord secures the bride into the bodice, and delicately drapes down the matching satin skirt and train.

Designer: Morilee

Why We Love Her:

Fit for royalty, Mabel is a princess dress fit for any bride! From her crystal beaded lace applique hazed by stunning pleated tulle. All the way down to her cloud-like ballgown skirt – Mabel will have all guests jaws dropped to the floor. Not only is she gorgeous, but she is also a blast to wear and is sure to fulfill any girl’s Cinderella dreams.

With a ball gown as extravagant as this, she comes prepared with a beautifully sheer corset bodice. This feature means she’s ready to wrap perfectly around the torso to ensure a secure night of twirling and dancing the night away. Mabel also comes with a beautiful set of off-the-shoulder long sheer ruched sleeves which are delicately detailed with beaded applique to match the gown and is offered in Ivory/Honey and Ivory/Ivory.

Mabel by Morilee Details

With every detail carefully curated, Mabel is a masterpiece. Beginning with the neckline, a sweetheart for a dress as sweet as this is absolutely fitting. Peaking over the edges of the neckline are delicate beaded floral appliques which stagger naturally across the bust and all throughout the bodice. Taking a closer look at the applique, a lovely blend of shiny beads and stunning sequins are visibly intricate in placement upon the leaves and flower petals with gentle vines connecting them. Wrapped around the bodice is a layer of pleated tulle, adding texture and volume to the look. The angelic visual of the tulle overlay is absolutely breathtaking.

The skirt of this gown presents continued applique from the bodice traveling halfway down the gown. This time however, the tulle overlay is gone, giving the beautiful floral pattern a solo moment in the spotlight. These details are visible from all angles of the dress, and the back of the gown features dainty buttons which fasten the dress from the top, and they go a short way down the back.

With all of the focus on the bride, the train brings the entire look together without even trying. There is no detailing on the train other than her lovely tulle, but it is not needed. The ivory tulle gives a cloud-like feel and completes the angelic visual in a heavenly way. Fluffed out, this ball gown will make dreams come true,and any bride will feel like the princess that they are.

She’s Great For:

Any venue and season would be lucky to have her! Her Ivory underlay reflects beautifully in the summer sun, and looks just as fantastical in the shimmer of a winter wonderland wedding. Her detachable sleeves make her fit for anything.

Mabel is fitting for any ballroom or country club setting. Where there is a dance floor and a spotlight, there Mabel should be also – on the dance floor to show off her amazing twirl-ability, and the spotlight to reflect those beautiful shimmery details!

What Makes Her Special:

Dresses like this are few and far between, and it is definitely Morilee‘s attention to detail in Mabel. The amount of skill and care it takes to create a dress like this is overwhelming. To top it off, she is a masterpiece who would complement her perfect bride. For a dress as beautiful as her, Mabel shines as a loved ball gown of ours and we are proud to offer her to our brides-to-be!

Designer: Daniela DiMarino

Why we love her: 

Glamorous, flirty, and delicate, Style 6373 from Daniela DiMarino is sure to be a show stopper. Design elements like beading, Chantilly lace, and crisp chiffon come together to create a truly remarkable gown. Scalloped lace straps edged in beading gracefully support the bodice and lead to a V-neckline. Lace peaks up over the neckline and softens the edge.

A layer of intricate Chantilly lace rests beneath the top layer of the bodice. This adds dimension and a cool but subtle illusion. Embroidered, flowery lace with delicate beading decorates the bodice and drips down slightly past the waistline. The lace placement over the hips is very slimming and helps elongate brides to make them look taller. The lace pattern has a rustic but very elegant and romantic vibe.  

DiMarino 6373 Dress Details

On the back of the bodice, the beaded straps connect to an elegant V neck line that mirrors the front. The beaded, embroidered lace dances around the back of the bodice as well. A unique diamond-shaped keyhole cutout adds a little spice to this dress, but it is edged in a sweet, scalloped lace and closes with a crystal button. White beads, clear beads, and sequins give the bodice of this gown a lustrous glow. 

In contrast to the embellished bodice, 6373 has a clean and sophisticated ivory chiffon skirt. Most chiffon skirts are a-line, but 6373 has a special, fitted chiffon skirt. This gown hugs the bride’s hips before falling straight at the knees. It looks like a thick, luxurious crepe but is so much more lightweight. This lighter material is breathable and very easy to wear. A sweep train completes this gown; the train splits in the middle with a gorgeous insert of the same stunning lace that is on the bodice. Flowers and mandala-like patterns swirl around the train’s lace, which is finished off with scalloped, detailed hem lace. This lace will still be showcased when the gown is bustled up for a fun night of dancing! 

She’s perfect for: 

6373 by Daniela DiMarino is a great option for rustic brides, beach brides, simplistic brides, and every bride in between! Her lacey motifs will work cohesively with rustic-style weddings; the plain chiffon skirt will compliment flirty cowboy boots or glamorous heels. 6373 will look perfect with a spice or rust color scheme for rustic fall weddings. The lightweight chiffon is very comfortable and perfect for summer weddings. The sweep-length train will hold up well outdoors; a beach, a garden, or a winery would all be perfect venues for this gown.

 
What makes her special: 

Daniela DiMarino’s Style 6373 has a lot of special and one-of-a-kind features that should put her at the top of every bride’s “Must Try” list. Her breathable chiffon skirt that hugs through the hips is unique for this fabric but absolutely dreamy and oh-so-flattering. And her lacy train is sleek, flirty, and perfect for photos. The diamond-shaped keyhole is fun and contemporary. Beaded embroidered lace layered with Chantilly is gorgeous.

Style 6373 has a lot of spectacular design elements without being over-the-top. She is easy-to-wear, ornate, and a show stopper!

Designer: Wtoo

Why We Love Her:

Lucia is a sweet and sassy little knockout! This gorgeous, lace sheath gown is packed with detail without being overwhelming. Small florals and leafy vines that adorn the bodice and trickle down the skirt. These appliqués pop against the unlined bodice as well as against the layer of Chantilly lace atop a nude underlay. The illusion tank straps provide ample bust support and fall into a gorgeous and tasteful plunged v-neckline.

The back of Lucia’s bodice is equally as gorgeous as the front! The lace and illusion continues down the straps to the back that falls into a low scoop. The pattern of the lace mimics the front as the lace falls into a more strategically spaced out design. Subtle sparkle shimmers from the gown and hits the light with each movement. Lucia’s train is a show stopper with a scalloped, lace hem that trails beautifully behind the bride during her walk down the aisle!

She’s Great For:

This dress is the perfect choice for brides who love lace! There is no shortage of lace throughout this dress, and the botanical patterns on Lucia are absolutely gorgeous. The florals make Lucia a great gown for brides who have venues with outdoor components. Lucia would look incredible at a garden or arboretum ceremony, but would also be the perfect fit at a venue near water! The options are endless.

The color options that are offered on this gown also make her a great choice for brides! Lucia is featured with a nude underlay that makes the lace details pop. This nude color looks beautiful with vibrant color schemes and unique floral arrangements. For brides looking for a more traditional gown or less bold detail, the gown can be ordered in all ivory or with a soft champagne underlay and ivory lace.

What Makes Her Special:

This is a gorgeous gown that is really made special by her unique lace. While the appliqués themselves are delicate, they are arranged in a flattering pattern that makes them appear bolder. There are also multiple lace layers between the Chantilly lace and some of the appliqué stacked atop each other. Wtoo has designed the gown so nicely that it does not feel or look too heavy!

The most special detail is that she can also be ordered with long sleeves! Fall or Winter brides who fall in love with Lucia do not have to worry about being too cold on their big day with the option to order the gown with sewn in sleeves. These sleeves have matching lace that start on the shoulder and cover most of the arm down to the wrist. Make Lucia your own with all her options!

Designer: Kitty Chen

Why We Love Her:

Any bride looking for a fun and flirty little a-line gown will fall in love with Hermosa by Kitty Chen! Hermosa has a deep v-neck plunge and an unlined bodice topped with large, gorgeous floral lace. Delicate beaded spaghetti straps rest gently on the bride’s shoulders and drape down to the lace, scooped illusion back. The lace pattern is arranged to create a subtle keyhole back look with the illusion of floating buttons! Sequins hidden in the lace draw all eyes to this gorgeous bodice and catch the light with each movement.

The beautiful floral, leafy lace pattern trickles down through the skirt and train. A round cathedral length train trails romantically behind the bride during her walk down the aisle, and the lightweight nature of the gown makes for an extremely easy bustle. The best part about Hermosa is her fun peek-a-boo slit! When standing still, the slit looks like just another pleat in the dress but once the bride starts moving, she gets to show off a little bit of leg and those gorgeous shoes.

She’s Great For:

Hermosa is a great dress for the bride who wants a romantic and modern dress! The floral lace, fun back, and the hidden slit combine to make this gown the perfect amount of class and fun. The sparkle in Hermosa also make her an incredible choice for the bride who wants to shine all night long! 

Hermosa is the perfect gown for any venue. Her elegant shape and gorgeous sparkle would fit right in at a country club wedding while her slit and lightweight nature would be perfect outdoors in a garden, or even at a beach! The unlined illusion bodice allows for airflow so the bride will not overheat, so a Spring or Summer time wedding would be an ideal choice for a gown as perfect as Hermosa.

What Makes Her Special:

Hermosa is a special gown due to the way she is able to seamlessly combine elements of the traditional a-line gown shape with more modern details like the slit and floral lace. She also has a layer of horsehair in the hem that will allow the bride to walk effortlessly as the skirt will be pushed outward by her shoes. Speaking of shoes, the slit in the gown allows the bride to really show them off! Whether they are your something blue or some sparkly sneaks, Hermosa will make sure they have their time to shine, too!

The beading on Hermosa also allows her to be paired with a variety of jewelry. The straps are covered in a clear bead with some pearl detail scattered throughout. The incorporation of these pearls give brides the flexibility to choose between standard diamond jewelry or pearls. This can also be extended to hair accessories like beaded combs or veils with bead, pearl, or both.

This slimming fit and flare silhouette has a gorgeous leaf motif that trails off into godets at the skirt. With a V neckline and V back, dress 40417 features a detachable cape that mimics a sheared flutter sleeve to provide coverage but without the restrictions of a fully attached sleeve. 

What Makes Her Special:

When we first start working with our moms, grandmoms and aunts who are looking for that one gown for their special day, we discuss their desires and needs in a dress. One of the most often requested things is some type of sleeve, whether it be for coverage or comfort. But, committing to a full or ¾ length sleeve can be uncomfortable and restrictive in many circumstances. This is why we are huge fans of this Platinum Evening gown from Adrianna Papell!

40417 Dress Details

This gown adapts to your needs with a beautifully embellished cape that doesn’t look matronly as some caped pieces sometimes do. The cape attaches to the wide straps by a series of hooks and eyes making the piece easily removable so the wearer can adjust her look during the event. Having such a versatile gown makes it easy to change the level of formality during your big day. Leave the cape on for the ceremony and photos for a more formal look but then remove after you get to the reception for a more relaxed vibe for those candid reception photos. Or, keep it on for the entire event if it’s more comfortable for you. 

Not only is this dress beautiful and adaptable to your comfort and level of formality, but 40417 also cut in 16 different colors to easily match any bridal aesthetic. Another major benefit of choosing this gown is the overall comfort of the dress – the underlying fabric is a comfort stretch making this an easy gown to wear on such a long day. 

Due to the beaded motif on the gown, we suggest going minimal with your accessories. We suggest staying with the leaf motif with your jewelry to tie the whole look together.

A necklace and earring set with a dangling teardrop will help highlight the deep V neck of the gown.
