Frequently Asked Questions About La Femme Mother's Dresses
What makes La Femme a good choice for younger mothers of the bride?
La Femme specifically created their "Young Mother of the Bride" collection recognizing that today's mothers often marry and have children earlier. These designs feature contemporary cuts, on-trend colors, and modern details that feel current rather than dated. Whether you're 35 or 55, if you prefer fashion-forward styles over traditional mother's dresses, La Femme offers options that let you express your personal style while remaining wedding-appropriate.
How do I choose between a beaded dress and a simple style?
Consider the wedding's formality and your comfort level. La Femme's beaded dresses add glamour perfect for evening receptions or black-tie affairs - their intricate beading catches light beautifully in photos. For daytime or more casual weddings, their simple elegant styles in quality fabrics like jersey or chiffon offer sophistication without overwhelming the occasion. Many mothers choose based on venue - beading for ballrooms, simpler styles for gardens or beaches.
What colors does La Femme offer for mothers who want something beyond navy or beige?
La Femme embraces contemporary color palettes! Popular options include mauve, nude tones, gold metallics, and even sophisticated prints. They also offer jewel tones, pastels, and unexpected shades like garnet or royal sequins. The key is choosing colors that complement the wedding palette while letting you feel like yourself. Our consultants can help you navigate their extensive color options.
Are La Femme dresses appropriate for destination or beach weddings?
Absolutely! La Femme offers lightweight fabrics and shorter lengths perfect for destination weddings. Their tea-length dresses in flowing chiffon or breathable jersey work beautifully for beach ceremonies. Many styles feature minimal beading or simple embellishments that travel well and won't weigh you down in warm weather. The modern cuts mean you'll look polished even in more casual destination settings.
How far in advance should I shop for a La Femme mother's dress?
La Femme maintains excellent stock levels - they keep over 150,000 dresses in their warehouse! This typically means faster delivery than other designers, often just 6-8 weeks. We recommend shopping 3-4 months before the wedding to allow comfortable time for delivery and alterations. If you're on a tighter timeline, ask about their in-stock options that can ship within days. Their extensive inventory often allows for rush orders when needed, making them a great choice for last-minute shoppers.
