Spring is a transitional season, which makes it difficult for the mothers of the bride and groom to figure out what to wear on the big day. To help you find the perfect dress, use your son or daughter's wedding month, date, and style as a guide. Depending on those details, anything from a long-sleeved dress in a neutral hue to a playful printed sheath might be most appropriate. Let's say your child set the date for March or early April. Light fabrics paired with dark florals (or vice versa) will usher in the beginning of spring and look appropriate. A floral dress, like Rixo's pastel-printed number, or Zimmermann's vaguely vintage-inspired number, might be just what you're looking for. If the weather is still chilly, a dress with sleeves, like Preen by Thornton Bregazzi's yellow dress, is a chic and functional choice.

If the wedding is in late May or early June, however, when the weather turns warmer and flowers are in bloom, pastels and traditional spring attire is called for. Look to Red Valentino's embroidered dress or ML Monique Lhuillier's pretty lilac gown for inspiration. Of course, if the wedding is in a warm climate like California or Hawaii, pastels are appropriate throughout the season. If you're still not sure which direction to go in, a light, long dress in springy shade, like Kate Spade's pale pink A-line, will work no matter what.

Here, we rounded up a variety of different mother-of-the-bride and-groom dresses that are perfect for early, middle, and late spring celebrations. Click through to get inspired.
