Maggie thought she still looked pretty hot for a 54-year-old woman and wanted to make her daughter proud that she had kept herself in such great shape. So, the petite Mother of the bride was thrilled when she found a body hugging, low-cut dress from the Juniors’ Prom Department to show off her favorite assets.

When Judy flipped through her stack of bridal magazines she noticed that champagne seemed to be a popular Mother of the Bride color that year, so she thought, “Easy… I look good in champagne. That’s what I’ll wear!” At the sunny August wedding, Judy received many compliments and felt she had made the perfect choice…until the photographs came back. With the glaring sun shining down on her, the fair-skinned blonde looked totally washed out. Not enough make-up and the reflection of the pale champagne dress on her face made her look like she wasn’t even there!
