NOPE! You're right, looks almost white in the pictures. If she likes the cut, find another color. Or a darker shade. But nope, too close to white.

I'm with you. It looks like a wedding dress. I would think she was trying to upstage me..

It looks very silvery blue to me

If she wears something too white looking she's the one who will look bad

I don't think there is any expectation that the moms match the wedding colors. That's for the bridal party.

I think that looks too white, it's cut too much like a wedding dress, and frankly I wouldn't want my mother or mother in law in sexy cut top for my wedding. I'd tell her no.
My mother and mother in law are wearing similar colors within the pallette of the wedding, they'll likely pick something more grandmothers or modest and casual because they're both approaching 60.

Hard pass on that one - way too white and way too bridal looking.

So your colors are blush, rose gold & burgundy and she wants to wear something light blue? Like ... ok lol. She could at least match somewhat for the pictures. Can she get the dress in a different color? Sorry if I'm mean lol

I’m confused by this discussion... First, that dress is gray/light blue, not white. Second, are you insecure about your look so you think your FMIL might upstage you? Because that would be silly. You are the bride & that will be more than obvious to everyone. You will look absolutely beautiful on your big day & there is no reason to concern yourself with what other people are wearing.

Looks too white and also like a wedding dress

Looks white and is way too sexy in my opinion for a mother of the bride or future MIL.

I guess I’m in the minority because I don’t see anything wrong with it and it looks light gray or silver to me.

I see a cute lacey semi-final dress in an icey-blue color; not white. The style is close to what I would wear to a dance in high school, and it certainly wouldn't look bridal there! My concern would be more with the cut and style IF it is similar to your wedding dress silhouette.

No one is going to confuse your FMIL for the bride because she’s wearing a light blue dress. Like...what? Lol

I dont see an issue with this dress personally. It's not that close to white imo.

I would go see it in person. Online you can never tell the color. If you're concerned it will look to close to white check it out, it probably is much darker in the store!

It doesn't look anywhere close to white to me, I think it's fine. I don't think mothers need to worry about matching the wedding colors, personally.

It doesn’t look almost white to me but it does look similar to a wedding dress. Is your wedding really formal? I would be upset if someone wore that dress to my wedding as well. Is there anyone that you can talk to her and let her know how you feel?

The bride should be the only one in a white dress. This color is too similar to white. I’d never wear a color like this to someone else’s wedding. Everyone will know you’re the bride but she shouldn’t wear it, not proper wedding etiquette in my opinion. If she does wear it she makes herself look bad. I’ve been to weddings where girls wear close to white and all the other guests blab about who she is and why would she do that.

Shame on those of you who are saying it is too sexy. Let the woman wear a dress that makes her feel beautiful. This may be one of the only times she gets to wear something that makes her feel beautiful or sexy. No one will mistake her for the bride, and you thinking they will just makes you all sound insecure.

View Quoted Comment Exactly!! There is WAYYYY too much concern over a dress that in NO WAY looks like a weddi g dress

I love grey, but I wouldn't choose it. However, if she feels pretty in it, is it worth starting out your marriage with hard feelings over being worried that someone will mistake mom for the bride? You can try teasing her that people will think she's the bride, ask if it comes in a different color, and then say "whatever you feel pretty in you should wear". Then you've planted the seed but also told her that she is more important than what she is wearing. Just my 2 cents. You have a long road ahead and a good relationship with her will make life easier for you and your husband.
