She Went Viral For Her Gorgeous Mother Of The Bride Gown, But Some Believe Her Dress Was Too Over The Top For Her Daughter’s Wedding
When a young woman gets married, sometimes she worries about her female wedding guests outshining her with their beautiful formal dresses. But what about the mother of the bride looking better than her daughter?
One mom recently went viral online after pictures of her looking absolutely stunning in her floral gown at her daughter’s wedding sparked a debate. While her gown was gorgeous and she looked amazing, some people thought her look was over the top.
In early June, the photography brand ‘Captured by Chloe,’ (@capturedbychloeco) posted a TikTok video of Louisiana mom Lori DeWitt walking down the aisle and wandering around her 26-year-old daughter Amanda’s wedding in New Orleans.
Lori was wearing a breathtaking green and floral gown with a plunging neckline and bow in the back.
She had purchased it in a store called Flora on Madison, which she and Amanda visited on a recent trip to New York City.
Amanda looked amazing in her bridal gown as well, wearing a sweet and simple off-shoulder trumpet-style gown. She looked like a princess.
Many mothers are known for wearing rather conservative and low-key dresses to their children’s weddings, but Lori looked like royalty and was dressed to the nines alongside her daughter.
While most users on TikTok and Instagram commented on the video of Lori admiring her dress and praising her for wearing something visually exciting, there was some backlash.
A few users felt that Lori’s dress was a bit too extravagant to the point where she was taking attention away from the bride. One commenter suggested Lori’s dress was “too low-cut,” and another felt it was “a bit over the top.”

While Lori’s dress sparked a bit of unexpected controversy, the more negative comments were drowned out by supportive ones.
“A mom showing up as her best version of herself [in] such an amazing gown,” commented a TikTok user.
“All moms should be their most beautiful on their daughter’s wedding day.”
Since the video of her mom’s dress went viral, Amanda has spoken to several news publications to explain how much she loved her mom’s dress and how she didn’t feel outshined at all.
In fact, Amanda said she felt the dress was perfect and that she wanted her mom to feel just as special and as beautiful as her on her wedding day. Adorably, she wanted all of her family members to shine.
So, if you’re on social media and you see videos of a family having an amazing time at a wedding and see the mother-of-the-bride wearing something that’s not super traditional, maybe keep any negative thoughts to yourself.
And moms – keep doing you and looking as fabulous as you want.
Congratulations, Amanda, on your beautiful wedding!
