Color choices for mob

Sara, on June 7, 2019 at 11:10 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Hey! It's ok for MOB to wear red, right? My mom is blonde with blue eyes, light skin. She has always looked fantastic in burgundy. She picked a few dresses that are dark red, burgundy, cranberry colors. There's nothing that says she shouldn't wear red, right? I'm surprised at some etiquette ideas as we move forward. Sometimes people are like " red is scandalous" but it's not candy apple red... just getting a quick opinion. Thanks!

    I think the reason why some people may say that about red is because there's usuallyyyy a general consensus that people shouldn't be in something ridiculously bright at weddings because it's sort of distracting. and candy apple red as you referred to for instance, can be a very very distracting and bright color. but with that being said, it's also up to you and her for whatever she wants to wear. i told guests not to wear pink and white because of course, the bride wears white and my bridal party is in pink and i just didn't want anyone being potentially mixed up as my bridal party and just because i wanted them to stand out. i would also choose colors that you wouldn't be wearing. for instance in my culture, it is very common to do an outfit change into a red traditional dress for reception so if i was doing that then i would have told guests not to wear red too.

    but for yours, it sounds like the colors she is deciding on sound lovely!

    My aunt just asked me last night if she could wear red to my wedding! I had no idea but she read something about it being bad to wear red to the wedding. I told her to wear it!

    I see nothing wrong with your mom wearing red! People always find something to complain about, unfortunately!

    Yeah, I've never heard anything about no red for weddings. I've heard that is the MOB/MOG wears black it is because she doesn't approve of the marriage. However, I've also known MOBs/MOGs to wear black because it is a formal wedding lol. So, if your mom wants wear red, let her!

    I say that it’s your day and you can do whatever you want. Don’t worry about what others think.....of your mom likes it and feels comfortable and you like it then let her wear it. 😊
