My daughter is getting married the Saturday before Easter Sunday at 2 pm in the Catholic Church. She is already married to the same man for 7 yrs and they are reconfirming their vows in the church. She has chosen a simple yet elegant wedding dress in ivory - long see-through sleeves, low (but not a deep scooped) neckline, light beading and sequins around the neckline, small fabric covered buttons down the back and a train. The train is part of the dress - not separate. Later that evening their 2 children will be baptized in the Catholic faith and she and her husband will be confirmed. Her accent color is a cross between burgundy and raspberry. I have shopped for a dress and found a couple of really nice ones but they all seem too formal and I'm afraid I will outshine my daughter. I've read a lot of other posts and I understand how I'm to coordinate with the attendants and MOG but my concern is that I will be fancier than my daughter as her dress is so simple. Can you help?

Since your daughter is already married, her event is not a wedding and we would not follow wedding etiquette. Your daughter is having a vow renewal or convalidation and neither of these services are typically formal. There is no mother of the bride since there is no bride. Your daughter is a wife, not a bride. There should be no wedding attendants since, again, this is not a wedding. I'm afraid we could not offer advice for this event, other than you should probably wear a dress that you might typically wear to an anniversary party or a church event like easter Sunday.

What should mother wear to vow renewal?
