Classic elegance with modern trends is an accurate description of today ’ s mother-of-the bride wedding day fashions .

“ Design now encompasses the spirit of the modern female of all ages , body design , and personality ,” said Laura Cieglo , owner of Lace Bridal Experience in Brandon . “ Choosing gowns that are fit for the modern wedding includes the flow , color , structure and , of course the ability to disguise what women feel the need to camouflage .”
Brighter tones paired with new fabrics and accent colors now allow for mothers to choose colors which look the best on them and still pair beautifully with the brides color palette . Cieglo noted .
