Consider her personal style. The first step to choosing a dress for the mother of the bride is considering her personal style and how she likes to dress. If she's more traditional or conservative, the traditional style of a long dress with a formal jacket could be appropriate. If she's a more trendy or edgy dresser, she might want a dress with a little more pizzazz.

Include the mother of the groom. Include the mother of the groom when you choose a dress for the mother of the bride ,because these two members of the wedding party should complement one another. If one woman wears a long dress the other should be a similar length, so make sure both women are comfortable with the style and dress choice.

Copy the wedding theme. Select a dress for the mother of the bride that suits the theme and style of the wedding. A wedding with avant-garde flower arrangements and a modern wedding gown style calls for the mother of the bride to be dressed in a modern, classy dress, while a more old-fashioned theme will call for something more classic and refined.

Complement the color scheme. Choose a dress for the mother of the bride that complements the color scheme of the wedding. The mother of the bride's dress should be similar in color to the bridesmaid's dresses and any color trim on the tuxedos of the groomsmen, but it should not be the exact same shade. This will allow her to stand out in the wedding party as a special member.
