If Mom prefers a more modest gown but still wants that shimmer of gold, the Lace and Charmeuse Bolero Jacket Dress will be perfect. The bolero is covered in lace, as is the bodice of the spaghetti strap dress beneath it. The waist of the dress is empire cut with Charmeuse ruching that falls into a full skirt. The cut is flattering and modest, but with the classy look that Mom deserves.


A subtler shade of gold is perfect for more casual weddings, as is the Short Sleeve Dress with Jeweled Button Detail. This dress features short sleeves and a portrait collar for elegance, with a bow and jeweled buttons to wrap the dress closed. The fabric is "foxy gold" satin, an understated shade of gold that sill looks stunning. Mother will look beautiful as well as youthful in this fall fashion favorite.


The bolero jacket seems to never go out of style, and when it tops a dress in an understated shade of royal blue, it's perfect for an autumn wedding. The Stretch Shimmer Three-Quarter Sleeve Short Jacket Dress is comfortable in a stretch fabric that gives off an understated glow. The dress is short with slender straps and is pleated horizontally down its length for a fresh new take on the slim dress. The blue is stunning and perfect for the season. So, too, will be the mother of the bride when she wears this flattering two-piece ensemble.


Black is perfect for any formal occasion, even a wedding, and when the little black dress is embellished with lace, it can be a real stunner. The Portrait Collar Knit Dress with Lace Skirt will give any mother of the bride a graceful silhouette. The collar flatters the neckline while the beaded lace skirt flatters the legs. The skirt falls to the knee in a slim line that is elegant as well as comfortable.


Champagne is another color that suits the cool weather of autumn. The Hammered Shimmer Cap Sleeve Short Tier Dress is lovely, elegant, and unique. The open neckline gives Mom a chance to show off a lovely necklace, and the tiered skirt will flatter her figure and make her legs look fabulous. This is a comfortable and feminine dress that is perfect for a formal or semi-formal wedding.


For the ultimate in formal sophistication, the mother of the bride might choose a One-Shoulder Taffeta Ball Gown with Side Drape. This dress comes in plum, a special color for fall, and that shade combined with the iridescence of the taffeta will give the wearer a glow that everyone will notice. The side-drape of this gown is flattering on any figure, and the full skirt will make her feel like a girl as she whirls around the dance floor at the wedding reception.
