Heartfelt ways to honor the most important woman in your life this Mother’s Day — and on your big day.
As you plan one of the most meaningful days of your life, it’s natural to think about the people who helped shape you — especially your mom. Whether she raised you, guided you, or simply showed up with love in her heart every step of the way, your wedding is just as emotional and significant for her as it is for you.
At Weddings by Stardust, we believe your wedding should reflect not just your love story, but the relationships that helped bring you here. So, in honor of Mother’s Day, here are a few thoughtful ways to ensure your mom feels included, appreciated, and celebrated throughout the wedding experience.
🌸 1. Involve Her in the Planning
Even if you’re working with a planner (hi, that’s us! 👋), there are still plenty of ways to bring Mom into the planning process. Invite her to vendor meetings, dress fittings, or cake tastings — especially for decisions where you value her opinion or want to share the experience.
Pro tip: Let her help with something meaningful, like choosing a family recipe for the dessert table or selecting a special reading for the ceremony.
💐 2. Make a Moment Together on the Wedding Day
Plan a quiet moment just for the two of you before the ceremony — a first look, a handwritten letter exchange, or even a champagne toast. Amid all the hustle, carving out time to say “thank you” and share a hug or happy tears will mean more to her than you know.
💞 3. Give Her a Role in the Ceremony
Whether it’s walking you down the aisle, lighting a unity candle, or offering a blessing, giving your mom a role in the ceremony is a powerful way to show she’s more than just a guest — she’s central to your story.
✨ 4. Include Her in the Styling
Make sure your mom feels confident and beautiful with a dress that makes her shine. Not sure where to start? Our sister salon, Stardust Celebrations, is currently offering a Mother’s Day special — 10% off all special occasion gowns up to $500 through Mother’s Day! Let her enjoy the spotlight she so deserves.
📸 5. Capture the Connection
Talk to your photographer about getting special portraits with your mom — candid and posed. Whether it’s zipping your dress, adjusting your veil, or dancing together at the reception, these are the photos you’ll treasure forever.
💖 6. Say It Out Loud
A heartfelt speech or personal mention in your vows can go a long way. Even a short acknowledgment of what she means to you — during the rehearsal dinner, reception, or even just in a card — will leave a lasting impression.
A Final Thought
Weddings are about love in all its forms — and that includes the lifelong love between a mother and child. As planners, we’ve seen firsthand how much it means to a mom to feel seen and included on such an important day.
So this Mother’s Day, as you celebrate her, consider how your wedding can be a tribute to the woman who’s been by your side since the beginning.
