by streamline on June 6, 2011


Some women who are looking for the right mother of the bride outfits (or groom) like to wear traditional dresses or just an ensemble that makes then look sophisticated and elegant without standing out in a “too modern” or “fashionable” way. Timeless Nordstrom dresses can help these women, and here we have chosen 5 Nordstrom’s mother of the bride dresses we think are absolutely divine and will make you look sensational on the day of the big event.

Nordstrom dresses – mother of the bride look, feel and glamour!

Dress number 1: A fabulous garment in 3 colours with bolero jacket.

In the UK we pride ourselves for the amazing look that some designers can achieve with their creations – which can then be seen not only at weddings but “high-end” places like Ascot or the Henley Royal Regatta. But it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to dress appropriately at the wedding if we know where to look for that traditional outfit that can fit like a glove.

This fabulous dress by J Kara shows beading at the lower waist (creped) which is angled and so it gives an air of dynamism enhancing the figure without making us look “big”. It comes in 3 colors: silver, black and champagne. Champagne is a great colour to wear at a wedding – it’s classy but doesn’t over shine the bride. There are no zippers, and the three quarter length bolero adds the finishing touch with great beaded finish that adds the “special occasion” mark to it. High heels are almost a must with this dress.

Dress number 2: The glorious Nordstrom wedding mother! A sequin gown.

Classed as “mineral”, this colour really resonates with brides’ mums, a fantastic feature for successful mother of the bride dresses. Nordstroms sleeveless gown sells it in five different sizes to cater for every woman. There’s a zip at the back and the length is approximately around fifty nine inches. Designed by Tadashi Shoji (well known occasion wear designer), the dress embodies a bodice which has been covered in lovely sequins to bring out the shine in you.

Third Nordstrom dress-pure elegance

When looking for wedding outfits for women guests, this midnight blue taffeta gown with a 3 quarter sleeve elegant bolero is the ultimate finding. Simplicity and elegance are the words for this long dress with beautiful three inch train. There’s a lovely beaded detail around the waist area that stands out from the navy blue which dominates the outfit. A dream Nordstrom mother of the bride dress that costs more than the other two but it’s well worth it!

Dress number 4: Good Ol’ Calvin Klein

Nordstrom mother of the bride dresses are stunning and cater for the chic or traditional woman, but when it comes to elegance there’s no doubt that Calvin Klein has the monopoly on the “real” meaning of the word. This stunning dress in satin is just.. fabulous! Brings out the sophisticated person in every woman as well as enhancing the feminine that is waiting within to be dressed and caressed with the beauty of grand designs like this particular one. Both in velvety purple and divine chocolate, it comes with a gorgeous bolero jacket in a triangular cut which opens at the bottom. Shoulder pads add that extra to the jacket and the overall effect creates a sleek look that will be the envy of every wedding guest. Great choice of colours too.

Dress number 5: Simplicity is always key.

Again, long length for the sophisticated woman, this dress with a gorgeous empire waist has the right ornaments to bring out the delicacy in any woman’s body. Blossoms are always kind to weddings, and the one featuring the left shoulder really works with this beautiful gown. A must for the traditional mother of the bride.
