What kind of bridesmaid are you?

Are you the mother of the groom and unsure what to wear on that special day? Are you the mother of the bride and want to look her best without overshadowing her? Have you been asked to be a godmother at a religious wedding and don't know if you should wear a mantilla?

Being a wedding godmother involves much more than having a place of honor at the ceremony: it means accompanying, celebrating, and leaving a lasting impression. That's why choosing the right dress is also an essential part of the experience.

At VOGANA, we design for real women who experience these days with excitement. That's why we've prepared this guide with different types of wedding godmothers —because there's no single way to be one—and we'll help you choose the style that best suits you and your role.

1. The classic godmother

Confident, elegant, and traditional. She is usually the groom's mother or a godmother with a very important role in the ceremony. She prefers understated colors, long or midi-length dresses , and follows protocol naturally: dresses with sleeves, modest necklines, and even the option of wearing a mantilla at religious weddings.

2. The elegant and modern godmother

Being the mother of the bride often involves finding the perfect balance between elegance and personal style. This godmother looks for feminine silhouettes, flattering colors, and designs with personality, but always within a framework of good taste.
