15 Halter Mother-of-the-Bride and -Groom Dresses to Suit Any Style of Wedding

There are a few moments more wonderful than watching your child say “I do” to the love of their life. A celebration so special calls for a fashion look that’s just as remarkable. While shopping for the perfect mother of the bride or mother of the groom dress, however, you might feel overwhelmed by the choices. With so many different styles out there, it can be hard to narrow down your options. That’s why starting with your ideal neckline—such as a halter—is a stress-free way to find your best occasion look. 

We love that halter dresses tend to be comfortable (you won't have to worry about a strapless gown sliding down all evening) without looking matronly (not everyone wants to cover their arms!). They're also incredibly customizable—you can choose a a halter neckline with thicker or thinner straps, add off-the-shoulder sleeves, or even accessorize with something like a cape. What's more, halter necklines tend to be extremely flattering. While this style works for most body types, they look especially lovely on those with broad shoulders and straight or hourglass figures, since the point at the neck draws the eye in. 

And, perhaps best of all, dresses with halter necklines can be found in a variety of different fabrics, shapes, lengths, and formalities, which means there's an option to fit any event. Whether you’re attending a casual daytime wedding or an evening, black-tie affair, there’s a halter gown out there just waiting to wow.

Ahead, we're sharing 15 mothers of the bride and groom who donned halter dresses for their children's weddings so that you can use their stylish looks as shopping inspiration.
