Matching MOB and MIL Dresses

I don't think it has to match. She should wear whatever she feels best in! My girls are wearing shades of plum, red, and eggplant. My mom is wearing navy, and the MOG is wearing a burgundy color.

Nope! She should wear whatever she wants!

No it doesn't have to match but it could compliment each other. My girls wore black with red accents. My mom wore taupe and MIL wore plum. It wasn't our colors but they went with fall and meshed with all the other colors. Just let her pick a dress she feels comfortable in, so many colors will look good with silver and lilac.

No, they shouldn't match. She should wear whatever she will feel great in.

We are having the BM's in navy with fuscia flowers, any one have idea on what color for the mothers? They keep asking and I just brain fart when I think abotu it.

Ha! @Kathryn -I feel the same way! Glad I'm not the only one clueless! lol

When my FSIL got married in September, the bridesmaids wore red and the Mom's and Step Mom all wore navy. It wasn't planned that way, but two of them loved navy dresses and the third had been considering a navy dress, so it worked out.

When FH and I get married in the spring, the bridesmaids will be in navy, my Mom will be wearing pink, and not sure yet for my FMIL.

They don't have to match. My mom and FMIL actually both chose a navy blue dress, which is also the color of the bridesmaid dresses and the color my sister who declined being a bridesmaid will be wearing. I wish they didn't all match but I don't want to change the bridesmaid color, and I am not going to tell these other very important women that they can't wear the dress they love.

Id let them pick whatever. But they keep asking what color. Maybe burgondy>?

My girls are wearing red and we decided that the mothers would wear silver or grey which is our other color. Or black if they dont like the other two options. That way we all match in pictures.

My bridesmaids wore gold and my Mother royal blue. Our colors where black, gold, and white/ivory. My Mother is a blonde, with blue eyes, so she picked the color that would look good on her. I think if she had worn black, next to my Dad, who wore a black tuxedo, she would have blended-in, in photos.

They kept asking me as well at first. I just told them the type of flowers I will have for them so they would know. That seemed to satisfy them, so they wouldn't clash with a bright blue flower. It took telling them a few times that they could wear whatever they wanted.

I shopped with both my mom and MIL, but ultimately let them get whatever dress they wanted. They didn't match the bridal party, my girls where in plum and the guys in black on black tuxes. Our wedding colors where black and white with a splash of plum here and there. I loved there dresses in the end I think itll look awesome no matter what.

No, I think tradition says that the MOB gets to pick if she wants to wear the wedding colors or not. My mom opted to wear a different color. I am not sure about what color my MIL will do yet. I say let them wear whatever they feel the most comfortable in.

I told my mom to try to get something within the main color scheme because she didn't want to feel out of place but it definitely doesn't have to match the bridesmaids or anything. Whatever they are comfortable in.

I asked my mom and FMIL to wear what they wanted except in a navy blue. My mom is in a taupe dress and my FMIL in a cranberry. I think they'll all look lovely in pictures!

I think as long as it doesn't clash it's fine, and even then I'm not sure it's an issue since the BMs and family don't really take pictures together (I think...). My mom is wearing champagne and my stepmom is wearing navy. The BMs are wearing bright turquoise.

MOB and MOG are supposed to wear whatever they want. This is a very special day for them, and they should be permitted to shop for a dress in any color they want. I'm not sure when this idea sprouted wings, but really, the moms are under no obligation to color code.
