More Gold, Beige, Champagne, and Taupe Mother of the Bride Dresses We Love
One Shoulder Taupe Satin Gown
This fitted style with one-shoulder styling comes in a few colors, including this rich taupe shade, which is a great neutral for all seasons. This dress is by Teri Jon.
Long Sleeve Beige Chiffon Gown Under $100
This gown is from a new-to-us line we've been featuring, AW Bridal. They've actually been around for some time, it's just a new thing for us to feature these dresses. We love them so far because they offer some colors and silhouettes that we've never seen before, and were missing from our repertoire of dresses we like to show you. The best part of all is that they have semi-custom and custom sizing and most dresses, like this one, are under $100, and come in an array of colors!
Stretch Satin Off-the-Shoulder Golden Gown
This Off-the-shoulder stretch Satin Gown by Teri Jon, cuts a classic and sleek figure.
Champagne Sequin Gown with Short Sleeves
If you want any kind of beading or sequins we love the dresses from Adrianna Papell. They now have a Legacy Collection, which includes classic sequin dresses that we've been in love with and have been featuring for years. They simply do not go out of style! If you're looking for a gown you'll feel great in and never tire of looking at the pictures, this one might be it! This is the Scoop Back Sequin Gown in Champagne.
Short Mother of the Bride Dress with Sleeves
There's no rule that says the Mothers in a wedding have to wear a long gown unless perhaps it's a black tie or a very formal wedding. For small weddings, daytime weddings, or warm weather weddings a below-the-knee, tea length or other short dress can be a great idea. We think this neutral lace and beaded cocktail dress by Mac Duggal is a wonderful example. See more of our picks for Short Neutral Mother of the Bride Dresses.
Chiffon Taupe Gown with Sheer Draped Sleeves and Belt
This gown has elegant sheer sleeves and is the Belinda Gown from Azazie which is another affordable mother-of-the-bride option with hundreds of colors and silhouettes to choose from.
Designer Satin Champagne Gown with Jeweled Sheer Illusion Neckline
We have recently become completely smitten with dresses by this brand - Sachin+ Babi. They offer the kind of tasteful high-quality gowns that are the gold standard of what a mother of the bride could wish for a gown to be. This brand effortlessly combines silhouettes that will never go out of style with rich colors and subtle details that are completely modern.
We get a lot of requests for mother-of-the-bride dresses with jackets, sleeves, or some type of cape, and this one has sort of combination of all. Best of all it is under $200.
