Help with parent attire!

Hi everyone!

So my wedding colors are primarily burgundy and gold, with hints of orange, green, etc. Total fall vibes! My flowers will be sunflowers.
My bridesmaids will be in burgundy, with the groomsmen and my fiancé in dark grey suits — with burgundy bow ties/ties. (See pics below)
Help with parent attire! 1

I’m just struggling with what colors to suggest the moms to wear. I am totally letting them choose what color and dress they want — but they asked for me to suggest colors.
I think my mom wants to wear navy, so what would be good for my dad to wear? I’m horrible with coordinating men’s attire 😂
Then what would be good suggestion colors for my fiancé’s mom to wear? And based on that, what would be a good succession for my fiancé’s dad then?

Thank you all ❤️

Navy would look nice with those colours - complimenting but not matching. Could your dad wear a blue suit? And for your MIL, what about a different shade of green (if she can wear green, not everyone can!) and a lighter grey suit for your FIL?

If your mom wants to wear navy I would suggest the dads to wear navy or gray suits. Black and navy will clash. Good luck!!!!

We had the groom, groomsmen, and dads all in black tuxes, and then the groom had one color bowtie, groomsmen had a different one, and dads had a third color. You could suggest the dads wear a light grey suit and then get a bowtie that coordinates with the moms' colors/ wedding colors. Also keep in mind that if your dad is walking you down the aisle that you may want him to match the wedding colors too (super easy with the colors you picked.
As for the moms, if your mom wants to wear navy, that'll go great with your colors without looking like she's trying to pass as a bridesmaid. I think a shade of green or burnt orange would look nice if your MIL is on board with any of those colors.

It's a tough one, but I'd say for them to pick one of the colours of your theme to wear.

Our colour theme is navy, pink and some purple. My bridesmaids are wearing navy so my mother was looking for a navy or purple (she doesn't do pink 😂) dress to wear. She found a really nice navy lace dress (lace is another part of our theme), for only $40 to.
My dad lives in Australia so it's hard to dicuss things with him (only form of communication is email and even then there's issues 😔). I'll probably get him to wear a Navy tie, he's bad at fashion and coordinating.
My partners not really close with his mother so she'll probably wear whatever she wants (don't really care as long as it's not white, ivory or cream). He was closest to his father but unfortunately he passed away in 2016 (cancer strikes again 😔).
It honestly doesn't matter too much on what colours the parents wear as long as it's not wedding dress colours (unless you want them to). If you want them to match your wedding party then give them the option picking one of your colour schemes.
