Country Homemaker Week in the Life | It's Time to Choose a Mother of the Groom Dress
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We are in our last week of homeschool for the year and have a whole lot of activities for the week. One that I'm putting a lot of importance on is choosing my mother of the groom dress. I'll show you my three picks and hopefully you can give me some feedback on which you think is nice. All three are from @macys and I have to say their selection was top notch. They were all very elegant and stylish.
Here are the dress links for a better look:

I love all three! I think the gold is perfect for the wedding, black for the rehearsal dinner… and the floral would be great for a shower!!😊😊😊
I love all three dresses. I say keep them since you love all of them. You have plenty of events coming up that you can wear them to.

I agree. So hard to find anything I like anymore… that’s what I’d do.
My oldest daughter just married. I was stressing out about finding a dress. She was stressing out about everything, so they decided to elope ❤ I really like the gold dress . What an exciting time for your family.

Congratulations on your daughter's wedding and gaining a new son! Weddings are usually SO STRESSFUL, thank goodness your daughter and SIL decided to reduce that stress and still increase the blessing of your family. I pray that your heart won't won't have to manage expectations of the usual nuptial celebrations with what your daughter and SIL decided upon.

The stress level is high for sure; eloping or small destination weddings are quite popular in our kids’ friend group. Congratulations on gaining a son in law.
I would love to see them on you. I love the floral but I always go for florals. Keep them all. You will be able to use all of them. You have gorgeous eyes, Jennifer. Maria looks so much like you and is getting to be a beautiful young woman. I love her sweet personality. She reminds me of my granddaughter.
All dresses are pretty! I think the floral would be good for a shower, or for a guest at another wedding. The blacl is my fav but whatever makes you feel the best is the one you should pick!

Jennifer this is one of your best videos. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Go for comfort, what fits your body the best, and your eyes& complexion. You will look lovely!❤
I love the gold dress for the wedding. The floral one would be perfect for a bridal shower or a baby shower.
That gold dress is FABULOUS!!!!! Keep them all!
I just LOVE Joe ! He’s so precious. So are Maria and Peter ! ❤️❤️❤️
I like the black dress for the wedding!!! Wear the flowered one for the bridal shower. Gosh, that Maria is beautiful like her Mama!!!! Oh and save the goldish white dress for Amber's wedding!
I honestly love the 3 dresses Jennifer. Can't believe Nick is getting married and Amber will be a beautiful bride!! ❤

Time keeps marching on; we’re getting excited.
That bike fits Joe really well. I say to pick the dress you feel best in. If you feel good you will look good!
Such pretty dresses....you have great taste, Jennifer. My vote would be to keep the gold one for your ceremony dress but also keep that beautiful floral dress for 'occasions'. It would be beautiful for wedding/baby showers, as a guest at a summer wedding or a romantic summer dinner date with Warren or a future mother-son dance date at home-school co-op events along with a shoulder-covering shrug. You've worn a dress with that same neckline before and it was so flattering to your beautiful self. Sorry that salad was 'meh'. We've all had to get through those. Those makeup products look very nice, thank you for the introduction. I'm posting too late to be of interest but thank you for asking for comments on these, Jennifer. You are so kind and sweet.

Molly, you offered such great tips on places to wear the dresses; I better keep them all.
Thank you for showing the northern lights! We are just outside the city, we don’t have big skies like that. For the dress 👗 I like the black for wedding & flowers for a wedding shower 😊
Which ever dress you feel most comfortable in. It’s hard to be uncomfortable in your clothing all night long. I like the black the best. Black is my comfort zone.

Me too 😊
All of the dresses are very beautiful. However, my favorite one is the black dress which I think looks very elegant! I like the gold dress as well which is very pretty! The floral dress is very nice as well!
I vote the gold one. That just screams wedding. #2 gold
❤loved all the content...schools out, bitter sweet, enjoy the summer. Loved the dresses.
Peter is getting so tall. I think the floral dress is pretty.
Big decisions re the dresses. I concur that if you can afford it….buy all 3. You’ll have other special events that you can wear the other beautiful dresses to!
All 3 are very nice. Something to consider is how hot black can be in the summer. Also, consider how comfortable of a shoe can you get to wear with whatever dress you choose.
For Mother's Day I told my son not to buy me flowers and he said ok. He came home from work that day with a bouquet and told me they were from his co-worker, Alonzo who thought I should have some flowers. It was so sweet and technically my son didn't buy them. Lol I love that floral dress. My next favorite would be the black one. But I wish we could've seen them on you to make a better judgement.

Love the black dress, but for a July wedding I think the gold would look really good.
My husband and I were stationed in North Dakota and the northern lights were absolutely beautiful there and they were so vivid and waved - 40 years ago

You cannot go wrong with black. All three are lovely, definitely wear the floral for one of the other pre-wedding events. One biggie for me in choosing would be the dress that will be the most comfortable.

Especially since it will be worn all day!!
You cant ask us without trying them on so we can see! I vote for the gold one, but sure you will look lovely in whatever you chose.
I think the floral would be beautiful for a shower. My vote is black for the wedding! It’s not as if you’re wearing the same exact dress you did at Emily’s wedding. Awesome bike, Joe! Look at you go! I remember your video years ago when he first learned to ride. Time sure does fly! Love and blessings from Philadelphia 😊
Jennifer I like the gold dress for the wedding,but I love the floral dress. I hope you keep it. I think you will get a lot of use out of it for the summer. Good luck. 😊
So proud of Joe. I remember when he rode a bike with no pedals, now look at him go!🎉
I like the black one. I think it’s timeless and a little less expensive. Keep the floral one for the shower.
Shower floral Rehearsal black Gold wedding Keep all
Yes, keep all 3 of them! There will come up more occassions to wear them for sure.
The Gold and Floral...I'm partial to the floral...so pretty!
Too hard to decide on the dresses without seeing them on you. All three are pretty for sure.
Maria is very pretty, I enjoyed your channel hugs from OZ
Lovely video, Thankyou everyone! 🇬🇧🥰
My #1 dress pick is the black, 100%. Next would be the floral, I think it is very feminine and pretty. I think since Nick's wedding is in the July, the floral would be so fitting for a summer wedding. You could also maybe keep one for Amber's wedding next year. I don't really like the gold. But, that might all be different once it's tried on of course. I think you need to decide based on what you feel most beautiful and comfortable in, and which you like the look of best when worn.

Joe, I love your new bike and you ride it so well! You look great on it. Jennifer you need to pop the dresses on for us for a real opinion. I loved all 3, but my fave was the flowery one. ❤
Black dress wedding. Flower dress Bridal shower and gold dress other events.
Loved your video today! It was my first time seeing the Northern Lights too! We drove out to the country and watched. I liked the end of your video -- put me in a cozy state of mind after hearing all the night sounds. 😊

Wow those northern lights were amazing.
Hi Jennifer, last year my niece got married and all the guests were to wear all-black. So I went to a bridal shop and found thee perfect dress for me. Now mind you, I'm not skinny, BUT this black dress fit perfect and it looked really great with my curvy figure and happens to be the exact black dress you have. Just the fabric is different. So I'm going with the black dress for you.❤❤❤

Sounds like a neat wedding you attended. I’ve never been to a wedding with a dress code.
I love your choices. Keep them all. You will look amazing in all of them!
I like the gold dress..looks veru elegant. I ALSO like the floral dress very much. Maybe you could keep it & wear to the rehearsal dinner, or bridal shower! 😊
The black is stunning! The gold probably doesn’t translate well over the video but I cannot unsee the inside of a lunchbox. That weird liner that’s silver and crinkly… the floral is lovely but I agree it seems it would wash you out too much. Black is the definite winner for me.

You found some beautiful dresses. I say wear the one that you feel best in OR the one that gets the most oooohs and aaaaahs from Warren and the girls. The flowered dress might be special for the rehearsal dinnet.

I LOVE the black dress!! And the cream/gold second. The floral is not a wedding dress. 😃
I like the gold, and the dress with the flowers. I dont care for a black dress. I think the gold would be pretty ! For a July wedding.
Black for the wedding and Floral for the shower or rehearsal dinner - be comfortable -
Beautiful dresses. Gold one for the wedding. Floral for rehearsal dinner.

That’s what I’m thinking.
I say try them on at least the black and gold along with your husband and get the kids to take a picture of you two. Then you can see what you look like really in it and if you look good next to him. You will be taking pictures at the wedding. Maybe this will help you make up your mind. You may find you don’t like the top or sleeves of one of them just because you like the coverage of the midriff. I would keep all the dress’s if it don’t cut into your budget. You’ve already spent the money for them if your ok with it keep them. You’ve already spent the time and effort in shopping for them, trying them on and buying them. They aren’t going to ruin, you will have something already in your closet for your next function. Take a picture it will help you!

I love the idea of taking a photo in the dresses and then comparing them. Thanks for the idea.
I love the black. But maybe the Gold for other events for the wedding. Flowers for church or out to eat with your husband. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
They are all beautiful! I would love to see them on you but I love the black!
I love the gold dress!! I believe it would compliment your hair and skin tone very well. And a very good idea about the floral dress for the rehearsal dinner! No doubt you will be beautiful no matter which you choose!

It is hard to decide when we didn't see you wear them. I would say to wear the gold(depending on breathablity) to the first wedding and the black to the second. Wear the floral dress to church.
I love all three! I think the gold is perfect for the wedding, black for the rehearsal dinner… and the floral would be great for a shower!! I bought a mother of the bride dress at the same bridal place where my daughter picked her wedding dress… it was expensive… and I will never do it again for my two sons if they get married. Macy’s has great dresses! My daughter’s dress was stunning but good idea to shop elsewhere.😊😊😊

I vote for the gold one for the wedding (assuming it’s evening). I would keep the floral, but it doesn’t look mother of the groom-ish to me. Jennifer (and fam) - I immensely enjoyed this week with you. Longtime follower and I just never tire. Thanks for taking us along! ❤ xo

Hi Christie, I hope you’re having a good week and thanks for coming back video after video.
The floral is my favorite! However, they are all very pretty. I can’t imagine having to get dressed up right now, me personally. I’ve gained a lot of weight and I never dress up. So it feels awkward since I never dress up anymore. There was a time… I loved to dress up! Anyway, im glad you found some dresses you like.

I absolutely love the floral dress 😊
I so enjoyed this video Jennifer!! The Northern Lights at the end were just spectacular!! Thank you so much for sharing! It was rather cloudy here in central Indiana and I could see some pink colors through my phone lens but not very much else. Wasn’t this something for us to be able to see them at all?? Amazing! Looking at your dresses, I absolutely love the floral one!! It’s just sweet, soft and so beautiful! If the wedding is very formal, then I would recommend the black one ( it actually looked like a shimmery gray on video) but the soft, feminine one is my first choice if the wedding isn’t a classic formal wedding. I hope you find/choose the one that just makes you feel BEAUTIFUL!! This is what matters most!! 💖💕💝
The floral one is beautiful.
All three are lovely nut I must say the black is my favorite. Keep all three they will come in handy one day.
Black dress is my favorite.
part of my working career was in a wedding/ party/bridal and grad boutique here in Tbay. I worked there 10 yrs after retiring from social work. I cannot stress enough about having quality undergarments. Regardless of anyone's size. If you don't have good quality undergarments( bra, panties ect. as beautiful as a dress is. shape wear nowadays is so comfortable too. Just my two cents. The dresses are beautiful ! Hard to say, colour is a preference and shape wear is key. Show us when you try them on !Can't wait to see and thank you for sharing. Peter. The flowers are so beautiful. I wish my husband was still alive to spoil me like that. You should count your blessings Jen.

1) Black, 2) Gold, 3) Floral. Those are the order of my choices. Having said that, I think I would at least keep both the black and the gold. Since you love both of those dresses, you could wear one to Nick's wedding and save the other one for Amber's wedding. I like the floral one as well, and I think you would find plenty of good places to which you could wear that dress. Maybe keeping all three makes sense.

It feels it bit luxurious to keep all 3, but I am leaning that way.
Your are the mother of a son and you have big beautiful blue eyes I think a baby blue dress would of looked really nice on you.

the Back dress I love but I also lie floral one too.
Your kids are so adorable.
Black, but all are nice.

What time of day is the wedding. The charcoal and the ivory sparkley look more afternoon, evening. The floral, looks like earlier in the day and more casual. Rehearsal dinner maybe. I would have to see all three on, but lean toward the charcoal-black.
I like the silver one
