Not going to lie, this Mother’s Day will probably be a strange one given the weirdness of the world right now, but that doesn’t mean that moms deserve their day any less. Staying home and social distancing certainly might [and hopefully will] keep us from our annual Mother’s Day brunches or mani – pedi appointments with our favorite ladies, but someone (actually quite a few people) famous once said “Mother and daughter never truly part, maybe in distance, but never in heart” – and the sentiment is incredibly true these days.
Of course, every daughter (and son) brings unrelenting joy to her mother on Mother’s Day and all the days before and after, but a bride giving her mama official MOB (Mother of the Bride) status is quite a special gift. That’s why an occasion like Mother’s Day is perfect for a bride to lean into her fiancée-ship and pick an on-theme present that says ‘thank you for everything, mom, now let’s go get me married!’ Not to mention, we haven’t met a mother who hasn’t wanted to jump into her new role with all the [wedding] bells and whistles that come with it.
So, even if you’ll be missing time with mom this time around – don’t worry, we all are! – you can send her a cute present … maybe even paired with a doorstep breakfast drop-off or just-add-champagne makings for mimosas, because liquor store deliveries make 😊 during lockdown! Our Style Me Pretty Collection of gifts is a great place to go for sentimental, sweet, and stage-setting somethings for the woman who raised you (and the one who raised your soulmate). Shop all the looks exclusively on site now!
Oh! And before we talk goodies, a couple things to keep in mind:
Check out these handpicked Style Me Pretty gifts, along with a little inspo for the wording in your Mother’s Day card … P.S. several of our simple hand painted Thank Yous would work beautifully for your heartfelt holiday messages, you’ll just need to buy in bulk (that’s kind of adorable if you ask us, though, sending mom thank you notes that are JUST for her for every occasion that’s fitting 😉)
Pink Sleep Mask.
“Mom, welcome to MOB-hood! Use what’s left in quarantine to get your beauty rest, because once we can get back into wedding planning mode, I can’t promise that you won’t be getting 3AM paranoia calls!”
Floral Makeup Bag.
“You are a natural beauty, mom – you don’t need ANY help! But on my wedding day, I want you to feel like the smoke show I’ve always known you are. Get ready for a fun glam sesh, but in the meantime, I’ve already filled it up with some of my faves! Enjoy MWAH!”
Blush Taper Candles.
“Hold onto these, mom. I know we couldn’t celebrate Mother’s Day together this year, but once this craziness is all over, I’ve already planned a brunch at your house for all my bridesmaids and their moms! I know you love hosting, and these blush tapers will look amaze on your tables. How pretty, right?!!”
Ceramic Tealight Holder.
“They say a bride has this glow about her… well, they haven’t even seen the glow on my mama!! Seriously, you light up a room, mom, and I can’t wait to have you by my side – for my wedding day – and the rest of our lives. Light some candles, put on your slippers, and watch the rest of Little Fires Everywhere. You deserve it!
… Oh, and once you’re done using them for candles, you can always take out the tea light and use it for a jewelry dish. Look at me being all inventive, I learned from the best 😘!”
She obviously knows she lucked out with you as a daughter, but make sure she knows you know you have the best MOB on the planet! Shop the Style Me Pretty Collection exclusively on site now and give your mom a Mother’s Day she’ll always remember, even if you can’t be together.
