Well, fear not because we found a not-so-hidden treasure trove: Macy’s mother-of-the-bride section. The store’s collection of picks is wide-ranging (with plus-size and petite options, too!), affordable (most pieces are under $200!) and stylish—in fact, we hand-picked 15 of our favorite dresses that will look gorgeous night-of and in photographs in years to come.
