Burgundy Mother of the Bride Dresses

It is one of the most reliable deep tones for occasion wear. Burgundy flatters warm and cool complexions alike, photographs richly under indoor lighting, and reads as formal without the severity some mothers want to avoid in black.

Autumn and winter weddings above all, where the depth of the shade sits well with the light and the setting. It also works year round for evening receptions and formal indoor venues, which matter more than the season itself.

Soft jersey is well represented and drapes comfortably through a long day, with sequin gowns for evening shine and beaded styles for detail. Cap sleeve and longer sleeve options are available if you would like arm coverage.

The collection runs from AU 4 to AU 30 across Tania Olsen, Adrianna Papell, Trellis Lane and Dressology. Not every style is cut in the full range, so filter by your size before comparing shapes and sleeve lengths.

Selected styles are part of Try Before You Buy, so you can order a try-on dress. Deep tones particularly benefit from this, because burgundy looks different in daylight than it does under the warm lighting of a reception.
