Okay, so I’ve been helping my best friend plan her wedding, and we decided it would be really nice to have those matching robes for the moms to wear while everyone’s getting ready. You know, for the photos and just to make them feel special.
First, I started by looking online for ideas. I browsed through tons of wedding websites and blogs to see what other people have done. I found some beautiful silk and satin robes, but they were all pretty pricey. There were also some cheaper options, but they didn’t look very elegant.
Then, I started thinking about the colors. My friend’s mom loves navy blue, and it’s one of the wedding colors, so that seemed like a good choice. The groom’s mom likes lighter colors, so I thought maybe a blush or nude tone would be nice for her. That way, they’d sort of match but not be exactly the same.
Next, I had to decide if we wanted to get the robes personalized with “Mother of the Bride” and “Mother of the Groom” or just leave them plain. I figured it might be a cute touch to have them customized, so I started looking for places that could do that. Most of them were offering rhinestones or embroidery. I decided to go with a rhinestone design since it seemed more elegant. I also checked to make sure they could do it on navy blue and blush robes.
After that, I compared prices and read reviews for a bunch of different shops. I finally found one that seemed pretty good, with reasonable prices and good customer feedback. They had a ready-to-wear robe with a rhinestone design and also had it available in both navy blue and blush, so that was perfect!
I placed the order and waited impatiently for them to arrive. When they finally got here, I was so excited! They looked even better in person than they did online. The fabric was soft and the rhinestone design was really pretty. I showed them to my friend, and she loved them too.
Now, I’m just waiting for the wedding day to see the moms’ reactions. I think they’re going to love them, and it’s going to make the getting-ready photos look so much more special.

Things to think about if you do this:
- Think about what the moms like. Do they prefer something more simple or flashy?
- What are the wedding colors? You might want the robes to match.
- Do you want them personalized? If so, how? Embroidery or rhinestones, maybe?
- Read reviews before you buy anything! You don’t want to get stuck with something that’s poor quality.
All in all, it was a fun little project, and I think it’s going to be a really nice touch for the wedding. It’s just a small way to make the moms feel special and included on the big day.
