Mom’s The Bride premieres May 7, 2026, exclusively on Hallmark+, with Hallmark favorite Erin Cahill hosting a brand-new six-episode limited docuseries just in time for Mother’s Day. The series follows adult daughters helping their mothers plan their dream weddings, flipping the traditional mother-of-the-bride role in a celebration of the mother-daughter bond that Hallmark+ is calling one of its most heartfelt original series of the year.
What Is Mom’s The Bride?
Mom’s The Bride is a six-episode unscripted limited series currently in production for Hallmark+. Each episode follows an adult woman as she plans her mother’s dream wedding with help from Cahill and Hallmark. The series covers the full journey from initial planning through cake tastings, dress fittings, and the wedding day itself. Hallmark describes the concept: every ceremony is a love letter from a daughter to her mother.
The show was first revealed exclusively by People magazine in February 2026, when Hallmark confirmed Cahill had been tapped to host. At the time, the show was listed under the working title Mom’s the Bride, and the May 2026 premiere window was confirmed. Cahill announced the specific May 7 premiere date on social media this week.

“Getting to host this show and to help bring these dream weddings to life is an honor and a joy,” Cahill said in a statement. “Every moment is infused with the warmth and heart audiences expect from Hallmark, and I can’t wait for viewers to share in these truly unforgettable stories.”
Cahill is best known to Hallmark fans through a long run of original movies, including A Timeless Christmas, Christmas on Cherry Lane, Christmas at the Catnip Cafe, and Hearts in the Game. Beyond Hallmark, she is recognized for her role as Jen Scotts in Power Rangers Time Force and as Ted Mosby’s sister, Heather, in How I Met Your Mother. She is 46 and a native of Virginia.
