Hola,

So I'm trying to decide what color dress to put our moms in. My fiance' and all my girls will be in emerald green and the guys in all black so I was thinking about putting them in gold (our wedding colors are shown in picture #1) Initially I wanted them in copper (which is apart of the color scheme) and NOT GOLD but it's been a struggle finding copper colored dresses. We'll have a lot of copper accents throughout the reception...will it look weird putting them in gold? Is there another color we can try? Is champagne too close to ivory? Helppppp lol!

•Do moms have to be in the same fabric as the brides dress? (My dress is Satin)
•Do our moms need to match styles?
•Does both our moms wear the same color?
•What are your color schemes for your bridal party?

Thanks ladies!
P.S. There are so many little components to a wedding 😂😂 but y'all know lol!

Michelle, I love the sample images you found, especially the one with the MOB and GMOB in gold. So pretty!

I'm only having one bridesmaid - my MOH will be in dusty rose - and my FH is likely going with two groomsmen in navy. We were thinking about having our moms in corresponding colors (my mom in something in the pink, champagne, mauve family and his mom in navy), but its more important to us that our moms are comfortable and can find affordable dresses they like, so that's more of a wish than a requirement. The only reason we were thinking this is because our wedding parties are super small, so having our parents following a similar color scheme would add a bit more cohesion to our wedding photos.

Your moms definitely do not need to match but what they wear should ideally compliment each other (so one shouldn't wear orange if the other is wearing purple). If you want them to have similar looks in the copper/gold family, I'd treat it more like the mismatched bridesmaids trend so each mom can bring in her own style. I think your whole color scheme sounds super pretty!

I have no idea what my mom is wearing. I help my FMIL bc she sent me pictures and asked which one I liked. But if she didn’t then I wouldn’t know either. I think the bridal party is the only ones you need to worry about and possibly your dad. My dad is wearing the same tux and colors as my FH my son is wearing the same tux but his tie will match our daughters dresses.

I say a nude color or taupe. Gold will clash so hard in your pictures. My mom, grandma, his mom and grandma are all in the color scheme OR match the color scheme. They are all walking down the isle and in our wedding photos we want them to all blend and not stick out like sore thumbs. As long as they are asking, let them match. If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
