Why is it that designers do not make beautiful dresses for the Mother of the Bride? Most MOB dresses make mothers look like hags. So ridiculous. I would want my mother to look stunning on my wedding day. So I love this dress by Tadashi (of course, Tadashi!). The color is incredible and the silhouette is fabulous for any MOB. Available at Nordstrom.

This print by Dear Colleen is so adorable. It would make a fabulous wedding gift from you to your sweetie pie.

Diamonds are truly a girl's best friend. There is no better to time to bling it up than on your wedding day. These gorgeous earrings from Gottlieb & Sons are from their Convertibles Collection.

Convertibles allow for the earring jacket to hang below the stud or to be worn as a center. You have to love multifunctional bling.
