What kind of bridesmaid are you?

Are you the mother of the groom and don't know what to wear for this special day? Are you the mother of the bride and want to be the best without overshadowing her? Have you been asked to be the matron of honor at a religious wedding and don't know if you should wear a mantilla?

Being a bridesmaid involves much more than having a privileged spot at the ceremony: it means being a part of the ceremony, celebrating, and leaving a lasting impression. That's why choosing the right dress is also part of the occasion.

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

1. The classic godmother

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

Recommended dresses for classic godmothers

• Fabrizia Marino Dress : its closed neck, long sleeves and deep color make this style a hit for classic godmothers.

• Carolina Bordeaux Dress : impeccable structure, with prominent shoulders that add character without being too strident.

2. The elegant and modern godmother

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

• Maica Green Dress : A timeless bottle green shade and a flattering silhouette with sleeves and a closed neckline. Ideal for daytime or evening ceremonies.

• Brown Diana Dress : with a crossover neckline and figure-defining belt. Classic with a modern twist.

3. The godmother with light and color

Some bridesmaids feel comfortable embracing light and color: mothers of the groom or the bride who want to look radiant, elegant, and optimistic. For them, corals, pinks, earth tones, or powdery greens are great allies.

Recommended dresses with color for godmothers

• Rita Fresa Dress : feminine, with structured sleeves and a color that is very flattering on light or tanned skin.

4. The sober and sophisticated godmother

This type of bridesmaid values ​​the purity of the cut, the drape of the fabric, and the elegance of the subtle. She doesn't need embellishments to stand out: her style speaks for itself. Ideal for intimate weddings, civil weddings, or celebrations where authenticity is valued over protocol.

5. The godmother with the most personality

And finally, there's the godmother who doesn't follow the rules, but always gets it right. She can be the mother of the groom , the mother of the bride , or the godmother of the heart. She combines formal with casual, elegant with comfortable. She likes to look beautiful, but above all, to feel authentic.

• Ona Polka Dot Dress : with an elegant polka dot print, balloon sleeves and a crossover neckline, it is ideal for bridesmaids looking for personality without sacrificing sophistication.

• Vivi Corales Dress : It makes another appearance here because its versatile design fits multiple styles. A resounding "yes."

One last recommendation: follow your own style.

There's no one-size-fits-all look for a bridesmaid. There are classic women, modern women, discreet women, daring women... and everyone can find their place at a wedding by being themselves.
The important thing isn't to follow a strict protocol or wear a mantilla just out of habit. The important thing is to feel comfortable, confident, and radiant .
