Mother of the Bride Dresses in Scranton, PA
Dressed for Her Daughter's Day, Not Overshadowed
Shopping for a mother-of-the-bride dress is its own particular challenge. It has to be formal enough for the photographs, comfortable enough for a long day, appropriate to the season and the venue, and it has to sit alongside the bridal party's colors without competing with them. That is a lot to ask of one dress, and it is very hard to judge from a website.
Elizabeth's Boutique has helped Northeastern Pennsylvania families through that decision since 1994. We carry mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses in sizes 000 to 28, in lengths from tea to floor, with the sleeve and neckline coverage most mothers actually want rather than the strapless styles that dominate online catalogs.
Come In With the Wedding Party
The easiest way to get this right is to shop where the rest of the party is being dressed. We carry bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses under the same roof, so you can hold your dress against the actual bridesmaid color rather than guessing from a screenshot. If the bride has already chosen her gown with us, we have the details on file.
Alterations are handled in house by our own seamstresses, which matters more here than anywhere — a mother-of-the-bride dress usually needs the fit adjusted rather than the length alone. Free layaway is available if the wedding is far enough out that you would rather pay it down over time.

Questions Mothers Ask Us
Where can I find mother of the bride dresses near Scranton?
Elizabeth's Boutique is at 724 Cedar Avenue in Scranton, PA, with free parking in back. We're a short drive from Clarks Summit, Dunmore, Dickson City and Old Forge, and about half an hour from Wilkes-Barre and Kingston.
What color should the mother of the bride wear?
There's no rule beyond avoiding white and, traditionally, checking with the bride before committing to a shade very close to the bridesmaids. Bring the bridesmaid color with you — a swatch or a clear photo is enough — and we'll pull complementary options rather than guessing.
Do you carry sleeves and longer lengths?
Yes. Our mother-of-the-bride selection runs to sleeved bodices, three-quarter sleeves, jackets and wraps, and lengths from tea to full floor, in sizes 000 to 28. If coverage is what you're after, say so when you arrive and we'll pull accordingly.
