Moms, take note! These dresses are all perfect for a summertime celebration.

Plus, this season is arguably the easiest one to shop for, as every designer is debuting countless styles, silhouettes, and colors to suit any woman's personal style and every type of wedding. What does this mean for the mothers of the bride and groom? As far as selecting a dress for you daughter or son's wedding goes, there's no shortage of options to choose from.
For an elegant, evening wedding, consider Oscar de la Renta's embroidered cocktail dress. Its metallic stitching and illusion skirt detail make it formal yet fun.
