16 Chic Mother of the Groom Dresses for Any Season and Budget

If you've tried on a few dresses in your lifetime, then we probably don't need to explain what a difference expertly placed ruching makes, but we can ensure you that it does! This style from La Femme cinches you at the waist and falls effortlessly into a gorgeous, flowy hemline.

In a shimmering and icy blue hue and dripping in crystal embroidery, this Adrianna Papell beaded gown was made for a winter wedding. Pair it with silver strappy sandals and chandelier earrings to complete your formal look.

What could be more sophisticated than an elongating, floor-length dress with an elegant neckline? Wear yours with a sleek updo to really show off those shoulders.

Shimmering metallics are always a good idea, especially for formal occasions like weddings. Whether you're attending a black-tie, winter, or New Year's Eve wedding, this dazzling number is a no-brainer.

For the mother of the groom who loves a little vintage flair, this Adrianna Papell gown is for you. Designed with a supremely flattering blouson bodice and body-skimming skirt, this gown fits like a dream.

A semi-formal wedding calls for a sophisticated but less dressy look than a black-tie wedding, and this lace number more than fits the bill. Since gold is practically a neutral color, this knee-length dress can be worn to a New Year's Eve wedding, a summer wedding, and everything in between.

We love a good three-piece set as it feels like two outfits in one. This chic and formal set from David's Bridal consists of a sheer jacket with medium coverage that's perfect for cooler weather and a sleeveless sequin top that is more than ready for the dance floor.

Equal parts sophisticated and romantic, this formal dress features exquisite details like sheer sleeves adorned with 3D floral appliqués, a décolletage-baring neckline, and a flattering fit.

Show off your shoulders with a gown featuring a halter-neck silhouette. This luxurious satin style from BHLDN exudes Old Hollywood glamour and is available in six colors to complement any wedding palette.

If you combine flutter sleeves with expertly placed draping, you have yourself a very stylish and flattering dress. This stunning fluid gown also features a beautifully beaded neckline and an elongating front slit.

Typically, a bride's wedding dress is designed to only be worn once but that shouldn't be the case when it comes to your mother of the groom dress. This is a big day for you too, so why not invest in a piece that you really love and see yourself wearing again? This beautiful Marchesa dress is definitely worth splurging on, and it's sure to make you stand out on the wedding day.

Spring and summer weddings call for shorter hemlines and bare arms. This floral frock is a stunning option for warmer weather and destination weddings, and it can easily be worn with casual sandals or dressy heels.

This utterly sophisticated off-the-shoulder number was designed with only the chicest mother of the groom in mind. Wear yours with pin-thin strappy sandals for an effortlessly elegant look.

Warm and comfortable, a velvet dress is perfect for a winter or holiday wedding. Accentuate this glamorous look with shoulder-grazing statement earrings and metallic accessories.

About as chic and refined as they come, this Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman gown is crafted from shimmering brocade and would be right at home at an elegant black-tie wedding.

Glide down the aisle in this truly regal gown from Marchesa Notte. Crafted in a beautiful lilac hue. Boasting a cape-like effect, this statement-making gown is ideal for a spring or summer black-tie wedding.
