Frequently Asked Questions About Alyce Paris Mother of the Bride Dresses

What makes Alyce Paris different from other mother of the bride designers?

Alyce Paris focuses on creating modern, wearable elegance rather than traditional "mother of the bride" looks. Their designs feature contemporary silhouettes, on-trend colors, and thoughtful details that photograph beautifully. The brand's French heritage shows in the sophisticated construction and attention to fit, making these dresses feel special without being overly formal or matronly.

How far in advance should I shop for my mother of the bride dress?

We recommend starting your search 4-6 months before the wedding. This timeline allows for ordering your dress plus 2-4 weeks for alterations, ensuring everything is perfect without feeling rushed. However, Alyce Paris often has quicker delivery times than other designers, and we maintain in-stock options for mothers shopping on shorter timelines. Your consultant can guide you to the best options based on your specific needs.

Can I wear an Alyce Paris dress if I'm not the mother of the bride?

Absolutely! These sophisticated designs work beautifully for mothers of the groom, grandmothers, wedding guests, and any special occasion where you want to look polished and elegant. Many of our customers love that Alyce Paris dresses don't scream "wedding" and can be worn to galas, holiday parties, and other formal events long after the wedding day.

What size range does Alyce Paris offer for mothers?

Alyce Paris is committed to dressing women of all sizes beautifully. Their mother's collection typically runs from size 0 to 24, with many styles available in extended sizes. Our consultants are experts at finding the most flattering styles for your body type, and our alterations team can customize the fit to ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout the celebration.

How do I coordinate my dress with the wedding colors without matching exactly?

The key is to complement rather than match. Alyce Paris offers sophisticated neutrals like champagne, taupe, and silver that work with any color scheme. For a more coordinated look, choose a dress in the same color family but a different shade - like dusty rose if the bridesmaids wear blush. Our consultants can show you photos of how different colors photograph together and help you find the perfect complementary shade.
