Wedding Gown Shopping With Your Mom

For some brides, the thought of shopping for a wedding gown with their mom sounds a little stressful. After all, as much as we love our moms, we don't always agree when it comes to style. Maybe you've always dreamed of a strapless, tea length dress and your mother can't imagine you in anything other than a princess ball gown. Lauren Simmons Photography captured these beautiful moments between a bride and her mom on her wedding day. Bride Ashton is wearing a beautiful dress from preferred vendor  Blush Bridal.

We love these tips from The Knot for how to make your appointment a bonding experience between you and your mom. They also have a great article about whether or not you should bring your future mother-in-law along to your appointment.
