Mom, Mama, Mother, Mommy…. So many names – one amazing human. And, a person that you will not only want to share this once and a lifetime experience with, but someone you will truly want to celebrate these moments with. 💖 Maybe your mom is at your side helping you plan your big day, or perhaps you live far away and are doing most of the preparations yourself. No matter how involved your mom is in arranging the days’ details, you’ll probably want to honor her on your wedding day. Here are a few ways to maximize the quality moments with her and allowing her to get the attention she deserves.
Attend Bridal Shows Together
Nothing gets brides and mothers excited about the wedding like meeting tons of great vendors at a bridal show! Seeing the work of so many talented floral artists and photographers, tasting amazing food and cake and learning about all the incredible venues make dreaming of your wedding day more concrete. Be sure to sign up for email newsletters and get your name on the list for your favorite vendors, after the bridal show popular dates start booking fast! Don’t miss the Pink Bride Wedding Show in Knoxville at the end of July – we’ll be there and can’t wait to meet you. Click here for details.
Dress Shopping
Yours and hers There’s the wedding gown shopping, of course – Nashville and Knoxville have so many amazing wedding boutiques to make it a fun weekend event! If your mom doesn’t live close enough to do all your shopping with you, consider making a weekend trip to see her and shop for the mother of the bride gown! This way the two of you get quality time together to get excited about the wedding but there’s not quite as much pressure to choose your wedding gown in a weekend.
Wear a Piece of Her Jewelry
Your mother may be more likely to have an heirloom set of pearls or those special earrings your dad gave her for an important anniversary. Incorporate these into your wedding look for a meaningful tribute on your wedding day. Be sure to have ‘help’ you put them on for special wedding photos you will both treasure.
Surprise Her With a Special Song
When your mother is being escorted down the aisle have the DJ or musician play a song thats special between the two of you, like that Beatles song she used to sing you as a lullaby.
Play Her Wedding Song
Find out the song she and your dad danced to at their wedding and incorporate that into the reception playlist!
Give Her a Photo Album
After the day is done and your amazing photos are ready, have a special album made of the mother-daughter moments and all of the other important formal and informal images from your day. She can re-live the joy her daughter’s wedding any time she wants!
