It’s always exciting to have my parents come down to visit, but this time around it was a VERY important trip specifically for my mommy. I requested that she come down so we can go find a beautiful dress for her to wear to my wedding…. after all she IS the mother of the bride…..
So I took her on a little shopping spree at South Coast Plaza. and of course I had to pick myself up these Sandro sneakers that i’ve been eyeing for quite some time. Feelin’ fresh to death in my sneaks next to Mama lim
First stop was at Tadashi Shoji. The first dress she tried on was glamorous and fun! We loved the delicate neckline, but I was not a fan of the big bow in front nor the sparkle & sequins ( you cant really see it in the pictures). Regardless it was a beautiful dress and mommy loved it!
This was the second dress she tried on. This dress is more muted, conservative & classic than the previous one. It’s elegant & classic whereas the previous one is more glamorous & fun! For some reason this dress really moved me….
and I think mama Lim loves the dress too!! {and yes, she was doing her Happy dance in the middle of the store!}
Finding the perfect dress is certainly not the easiest thing to do , but it’s all worth it at the end. Seeing my mommy’s face light up after finding the PERFECT dress reminded me why I do what I do…. and that is to make women feel beautiful & confident. And of course being able to give back to my parents for all they have done for me by simply spoiling my mommy for the day really put a smile on my face over the weekend!
We actually ended up buying both of the dresses beacuse we couldn’t choose between the two!So i’m going to leave it up to you guys to help Mama Lim!
Should Mama Lim wear the glamorous dress or the classic dress?
Thanks for your help guys! My mama and I really appreciate it!
xoxo

classic !!
Classic for sure…
Mama Lim looks wayyyy better in the classic. This is your big day, if she gets the
glamour she might out shine you on your wedding day. Sorry if thats blunt.
Her dress is so perfect! The colors for your wedding look awesome
classic
You can never go wrong with classics!
Both are beautiful but she should totally go with the GLAMOROUS one!!!! That dress is fabulous on her! Plus, we all know you’re going to be stunning so mamma should be too! Let everyone see where you get it from!!!

classic. it’s so beautiful on her!
I like the classic one the best(:
I prefer the Glamorous on her, it makes her shine and compliments her skin and hair color. The Classic seems to blend in with her skin color and washes her out.
If you go with the Glamorous, I would change out the belt and find something that tones down the dress while showing off her tiny waist.
I think GLAMOROUS. Although I prefer the classic, because it is a wedding afterall and she plays an important role at the wedding so you want her to stand out from all the lovely dressed people in the crowd!
Love your momma Lim btw
I say the glamorous dress simply because of the cut. The cut of the classic dress makes her look a bit like a little girl. But at the same time, the style is a lot better than the first… so I don’t know either!
I like the second one better. However, either one would still need to be hemmed!
CLASSIC all the way.
Classic
Classic totally!
I like the classic one… Mama Lim looks awesome.
I’ll go with the galmourous dress! the classic is too pale
the classic one!
GLAMOROUS! the classic will make mama lim fade into the background. the glamorous one stands out more!
definitely glamorous. she is an important person at your wedding too!!
classic!!
your mom is gorgeous~ =)
the classic dress
CLASSIC!!!! <3 It flatters her so much
The classic to the ceremony and then the glamorous one to the reception!!!
Glamorous! Just like you!
The glamorous one, definitely! It makes your mom fresh, shiny and very pretty. I don’t relly like the shape of the classic one, it’s rigid and the color is similar to her skin. The glamorous plays a fashion contrast on her.
Trust me!
i LOVE classic!Its so beautiful!
i simply loved the classic the best! I believe that one wins hands down.:)
CLASSIC all the way! I love the band along the waist. Gives your mom a more shapely figure in the dress and that style isn’t that flashy compared to the other one.
classic dress and play up the jewelry
Classic! Also, judging from your comments on your reactions, classic would be the way to go.
Classic is the best for Mama Lim. Details on the Classic dress are unique & define which is very blend to the dress! The Cut layout is fine too, Simply Elegant! Also, it brings out the mama look of yours! Whereas the glamorous dress is too heavy look which has taken up overall Mama lim’s image.
Classic!! The Glamorous dress is beautiful, but the shape is too loose.
I say classic for the ceremony, glamorous for the reception!
I like the classic one !
both dresses are very nice
Glamorous! Or it is a very good idea to wear classic one for the ceremony and glamorous for the party.
The classic is absolutely gorgeous! I would go with that
Classic(:
both are very beautiful but i prefer the classic over the glam(:
Definately the classic one, love it!
I vote for the Classic! They both look wonderful on her though.
GLAMOROUS!!Love at 1st sight! Can she wear both on that day?
definitely classic for your mum! it suits her the most
omg both dresses are beautifull <3
but i'm gonna go with classic.
she looks soo much more refined and polished (:
Classic! It seriously flatters her well!
I love your mom in classic
Classic!!!!!
I’ll go for the classic one. The description tells it all. I love it.
I think the glamour without the bow if she really likes it, but I love the classic on her!
CLASSIC!!:)
Hey! Your mum is so pretty & young! Looks like your sister.
Anyways, I kinda like the glamorous dress on her. But if your mum was so happy with the other classic dress, she should wear that. For her happiness.
Classic all the way!
the classic one of course its much better
I love the second one for her
The first one is way to sparkly for her I like the classy one better
She looks amazing in both dresses but she is even more astounding in the classic one! Your mom is going to be the second Queen of the day!
Both gorgeous,but I vote for the classic one!:)
Classic!!
GLAMOUROUS, you only have one day to celebrate your wedding ! you can be bold this day ! and the glamourous dress is very pretty !
