Formal dresses are a classic wedding outfit option, but if you want to dress chic while feeling comfortable, then a sharp mother-of-the-bride pantsuit is the way to go. Another bonus to choosing a classic blazer and pants combination instead of a mother-of-the-bride dress? Pantsuits come in so many styles that finding an ensemble that works well with your daughter's wedding theme will be a breeze.
While there are no hard and fast rules where choosing a mother-of-the-bride pantsuit is concerned, your outfit should work with the wedding venue and dress code. For example, a structured pantsuit is the perfect option for a modern wedding in an urban setting (or a city hall ceremony), while glittery separates like an embellished chiffon jacket and flowy pants work for more formal evening affairs.

This sequin pantsuit from Badgley Mischka is a real showstopper. With a flattering gathered bodice, it's perfect for a wedding with a festive dress code.
a disco ball of JOY
"Phenomenal. I LOVED the set but the jacket was its own delight (also wore it with jeans to fancy cocktails— a hit). The material is first rate, very flexible (you can push or roll the sleeves up to the elbows for example) and breathable. The shoulder pads are POWERFUL but not over the top for the whole look. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
