One of the biggest considerations for the Mother of the Bride is her choice of from the Mother of the Bride Hairstyles. You don’t want to look too dated or too juvenile for you big day. It’s like Goldie Locks, you have to choose…JUST RIGHT.

Mother of the Bride Hairstyles 2018
I have been saving Mother of the Bride Hairstyles to my Hairstyles Pinterest Boards (visit Hairstyles for Women over 45 and Hairstyles) ever since my daughter got engaged. Once I choose my dress from Nordstrom, the search for a hairstyle was on:

FOREST LILY Off the Shoulder Lace Dress (On Sale)
I wanted a hairstyle different than my Step Mother of the Groom hairstyle that I choose for my son’s wedding in June, 2017. Something less restrained that would flatter my off-the-shoulder dress. Here’s the style I wore for my stepson’s wedding.

When I saw this hairstyle on Pinterest, I knew that this would work with my hair and my dress. Just to be sure I consulted my hairdresser. She gave it a big thumbs up. So on the day of the wedding, this is the hairstyle the hair and make-up ladies created.
My daughter wore my mom’s wedding 62 year old wedding dress. Didn’t she ROCK it?
So let’s take a look at this hairstyle from all angles. It’s one of my favorite looks I have ever tried. I was so happy with my choice from among all of the Mother of the Bride Hairstyles.
This hairstyle lasted from 11:00 in the morning on the day of the wedding until 3:oo am the next day. Still looked wonderful. A testament to a great hairstylist and a wonderful Mother of the Bride hairstyle.

I really like your “messy” hair style! 🙂 I would love the Blendtec Total Classic Original Blender with FourSide Jar, Commercial-Grade Power, & 10-speeds! Why? My husband is a chef and we go through appliances like this- blenders, food processors- like nobody’s business! With “Commercial-Grade Power” this one just might last longer than the “usual” appliances we get!
Thanks Elisse for the sweet compliment. Shelley
I want to get an Echo Dot! I have wanted one for awhile now and have heard great things.
Shelley, I have a question about your beautiful Mother of the Bride look. Did you carry a purse? I have looked at the photos and I don’t see one but I don’t know that one was needed either. Just curious. By the way, just in case I didn’t express it sufficiently yesterday…you rocked the Mother of the Bride look!
Can’t wait to see what you pull off for your son’s wedding!
Oh thanks ALice. I did carry a purse but nothing special that matched. I carried a little pink one similar to this: https://amzn.to/2NvOhu3
