Mother’s Day is just around the corner, offering the perfect occasion for Mother’s Day wedding ideas! What’s a better tribute than spotlighting those tear-jerking, giggle-inducing moments between moms and their kids on one of the biggest days of their lives? After all, weddings aren’t just about uniting two people; they’re pivotal moments that celebrate the entire family coming together.
In partnership with Modern Bride’s BFF, known for their candid photos and ability to capture the essence of your own wedding in video form, we’re thrilled to bring you more ideas where you can honor your mom on your wedding day.
Heartfelt Ways to Honor Mom at Your Wedding
1. Incorporate Her Favorite or Birth Flower into Your Bouquet:
Every bride carefully selects the floral arrangements for her special day, so why not include your mom’s favorite flower or her birth month flower into your wedding? It’s a beautiful way to make her feel a part of every step of her daughter’s wedding. We also love the idea of incorporating flowers to cherish the bride and groom’s grandmothers—after all, they’re mothers as well!
2. Heartfelt Notes:
We’re all familiar with the sweet tradition of exchanging letters with your soon-to-be spouse on the big day. But why not extend this touching gesture to your mother? Express your gratitude and love, acknowledging the important role she has had in your life and how she has helped make your wedding day wonderful.
3. Mother/Daughter Dance:
While father/daughter dances are a staple at weddings, consider adding a mother/daughter dance. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the bond you have with your mother, while also giving her a moment in the spotlight (she can show off the dream dress she’s wearing!). Choose a song that means something special to the both of you and just have fun—we reckon ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ is a song you’d both be excited to dance to!
4. Mom First Look:
First looks are becoming all the rage between brides and grooms, but why not capture ALL of the first look reactions you can, especially your mothers! Capturing her reaction—whether it’s a smile that lights up the room or tears of joy—will immortalize the special moment between you two. For a real tear-jerker, check out Modern Bride’s BFF’s video of a mother-of-the-bride first look. This is a perfect example of how important wedding content creators are—they capture more than just pictures, they capture the excitement and raw emotions.

5. Public Acknowledgment:
During your reception, why not make a point to publicly honor your mom? A toast to her, reflecting on the cherished memories and lessons she’s imparted, can be incredibly moving for her and your guests. It not only makes her feel valued, but also lets your guests share in some of the fun dynamics of your relationship.
Throughout your wedding planning, remember the invaluable role your mother has played. With Modern Bride’s BFF capturing every candid moment, incorporating these meaningful gestures—whether it’s through a heartfelt note, a special dance, or weaving her favorite flowers into your bouquet—you can show your mother how important she is in your life. Celebrate your mom, celebrate love, show your guest list how much she means to you, and let Modern Bride’s BFF help make this wedding day as unforgettable for her as she is to you.
