Mother’s Gown Recommendations — Moms Could Look Stunning at the Wedding Too!
For first-time officiating moms, choosing the perfect gown is challenging. Here are 5 common FAQs for a better-chosen stunning mother’s gown look!
Q1: What color is better?
A1: Choose joyful colors, coordinate with the venue, and match the bride’s attire. In addition, consider your body type also important. Opt for lotus pink, beige, champagne, silver-gray, orange, burgundy, navy, and more.
Start with safe, light colors for a gentle, elegant monochromatic look. Also, a floor-length skirt and small sleeves elongate and enhance, ideal for most moms.
Q2: Are there any recommendations for more fitted dresses?
A2: Opt for slimming dark colors, structured fits, V-necks, or A-line skirts. Darker or patterned gowns pair well with elaborate jewelry.
Such as Luxurious fabrics, like glossy materials or lace, are ideal for slightly extravagant styling. Besides, match accessories for a more elegant look, suitable for moms with a fuller figure, exuding an elegant and majestic aura.
Q3: Are there styles that are suitable for shaping legs?
A3: Opt for a mermaid tail design for streamlined leg shaping. For example, choose a fashionable one-piece dress in champagne gold, light tones, or pink.
Not only select styles with sheer fabrics and straps for an elegant appearance but also pair accessories like bags and shoes in silver-white or beige.
Q4: If you don’t want to wear something too revealing, are there conservative styles?
A4: Yes!
1. Long-Sleeve Styles: Long sleeves convey a conservative feel and are ideal for indoor events. Additionally, various cuts, from fitted to loose, cater to your preferences.
2. Add a Shawl or Coat: For bare shoulders or sleeveless dresses, consider shawls, coats, or sheer fabrics to provide shoulder coverage. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures comfort in varying temperatures.
3. High Neckline Styles: High-neckline dresses, available in various lengths from gowns to short styles, offer neck and chest coverage. Moreover, this style is versatile and can be accessorized to suit different occasions and personal tastes.
Q5: How to coordinate the dress with the wedding style?
A5: Usually, it is categorized into Chinese style, Western style, and Banquet style (daytime/evening).
Chinese Ceremony: Opt for a Cheongsam with joyful colors to match. Additionally, traditional Chinese motifs can enhance the cultural theme.
Western Wedding: For outdoor venues, choose a dress for easy movement. Moreover, use lightweight fabrics and youthful colors for a relaxed atmosphere. For evening ceremonies, consider elegant and classic gown options.
Banquet: Often held at noon or in the evening in banquet halls. To showcase grandeur, the main officiant can wear a more elaborate style. Furthermore, coordinate with the venue’s color scheme for a harmonious look.

Had visited a couple shops before but upon seeing the quality and unique style of the dresses at Cang ai, knew this was the shop of our choice. The team was awesome all throughout and everything went smoothly. Thank you Xiaoting, photographer SK and makeup artist Ana - every piece of the service was of great quality that made for the wedding event that wished for! :)
Superb service from this store. It’s a MUST to look for Manager, Ann and you will be extremely satisfied for your big day. She is very helpful and patience. Has good recommendation for the gown and suit. Very pleased with her service
Since Dec 2023, attended their wedding booth at marina bay sands.
We sign up for their pre wedding shoot for Kaoshiung at Jun 2024.
Sherry and May attended to us and due to some circumstances we purchase an indoor prewedding shoot in SG and additional for AD wedding gown + suit & etc.
As we visited to their store too frequently their service is good + friendly and even we had some sudden change in the AD date they are still understanding.
TW Cang Ai staff also caring and nice in their service. Have a pleasant day with them during the shoot as the photographer will guide us in how to pose to get a good effect.
Afterall, all the photo cames out very beautifully due to the weather as well.
Latest update: Bryan and I were very pleased with the service and quality of the Singapore and Taiwan team to allow our pre wedding shoot to be efficient and memorable one! The Taiwan team were caring and efficient in terms of planning the photoshoot locations in order for us to capture the best scenery. They were friendly and helpful, guided both of us (who doesn’t know how to pose) and I shall let the pictures speak for itself ♥️ The Singapore team were following up with us closely such as checking in with us how was our photoshoot the very day we finished and reminded us on our photoshoot dates when we arrived Taipei. Up next, looking forward to our actual day where we will be wearing their beautiful gowns and suits 😊

The overall experience of signing their package were smooth. Ann and Ting were friendly, understanding and approachable when we have many queries about the package details. They made this decision making so much easier and effortlessly. Looking forward for our upcoming photoshoot and trying on their lovely gowns (which I love a few of them on my first visit at their studio) ☺️

I am thankful to Cecilia and her team to help us with the wedding preparation. They were efficient in their services in making sure every important segment of the wedding preparation was done and planned properly. They were always warm and welcoming each time and the process was not rushed through. They constantly check on us to make sure everything is okay and prompt in their replies whenever we are unsure of certain things. They have a wide selection of gowns and suits so you would not worry about the lack of varieties here. It was a great pleasure to work together with Cecelia and her reliable team 😊
Our pre-wedding photo shoot with Cang Ai Wedding was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we walked into the studio until finish our photoshoot, our coordinator Xiaoting felt more like a friend than a service provider. She was genuinely interested in helping us to choose styles that reflected our personalities.
When we arrived in Taiwan, Kaohsiong branch to prepare for the shoot, we were greeted by a team whose professionalism was only matched by their warmth and enthusiasm. The selection of gown was overwhelming due to the amount of options they had. However, the team made plenty of suggestions based on what we had in mind and allow us to decide on the outfit for the photoshoot.
During the actual photoshoot day. Despite the daunting heat, they ensured every shot was perfect, often going above and beyond to capture our moments in the most beautiful light. The team help us with the posing and keep reminding us to keep smiling for the camera!
The photos we received are absolutely breathtaking. Each one captures a unique moment between us, showcasing the stunning backdrops of Taiwan, Kenting. The lighting, angles, and composition were all expertly handled.
We are deeply grateful to Xiaoting and the entire Cang Ai team in Taiwan for making our pre-wedding shoot an unforgettable experience.
PS: The photo was not edited.
We had an enjoyable experience from the start till the end taking our wedding photo shoot with CangAi wedding.
林经理 (she’s already back in Taipei) and Ann were fantastic hosts who assisted us from start to finish including planning for our shoot at Taiwan and covering for all the logistics. Everything went smoothly as we only have to travel to Taiwan and just show up at their Taiwan outlet on the scheduled date for gown fitting (first day) and the shoot itself (second day).
I would say that the packages from CangAi are reasonably priced and the service is 100% top notch from the team. Kudos to Ann for all the kind and patient follow up with us (although we took a long time to get back to her etc).
No regrets here in leaving our rare memories in the good hands of CangAi Wedding.
The team at Cangai has been nothing short of warm, friendly, and welcoming since day one. We’re so grateful for Xiaoting (our SG coordinator) and the team at Taipei for patiently answering our answers and requests, assisting in the trying of gowns and suits, making us look good for the shoot, and producing such lovely photos. Extra kudos to our photographer, make-up artist and assistant for braving the cold rain and wind on 陽明山 with us!
