As a mother, choosing your own ensemble for the wedding can be intimidating.  You might find yourself dropping to the very end of your âto do❠list.  Luckily, The White Dress by the shore only needs an hour and a half to make you look and feel as beautiful as you deserve.

To make the process simple for you, here is what we reccomend~

Youâll set your appointment, so that we may give you our undivided attention in the comfort of our private mother of the occasion studio.

Youâll meet  one of our highly trained stylists, who will be your personal expert in fit and construction.

Youâll explore multiple collections, hand-picked by owner Beth Chapman, at varying price points, so we can accommodate your taste and your budget. And then, with your figure flattered in a celebration of your personal styleâ¦youâll dazzle.

All of our dresses are made to order, so weâll need a minimum of five months for proper delivery and alterations.

It is important to us that our mothers of the occasion feel as special as the bride when shopping for their ensembles. It is for this reason that we are by appointment, so that we may provide mothers of the bride and groom the special service upon which we have built our reputation.  Learn more about the collections that we carry below, then call 860.669.4596 to view our Mother of the Occasion Collection.
