mob & mog attire

They should wear whatever color they feel comfortable in. They aren't in the wedding party and don't need to coordinate with them.

I would just see what they'd want to wear. but if they asked you for suggestions, then maybe a nice silver or light grey

Are you using any accent colors? Like gold? I would think a muted gold would look nice. I actually really like olive so that might be nice on them as well.


My mom wore a black dress and my MIL wore black and gold. They looked stunning, but I also didn’t limit them to specific colors they had to wear. I just wanted them to pick dresses that they felt amazing in and loved. My mom picked her dress first )which I love and went with my moody/edgy color and theme) and my MIL coordinated with her. They figured it out together.

Whatever they want vf to wear.

Seems like you have an earthy palette! You can do a lighter or darker shade of what the bridesmaids are wearing or groomsmen so lighter/darker shade of green tan or rose gold, or you can do normal gold, or to broaden it up if you don't want to restrict them you can give them a range of 'earthy' shades to pick from (you can even type 'earthy wedding colors' in pinterest for examples lol)

I gave mine different shades of 'neutrals' to choose from. (My bridesmaids will be in rust/copper, MOH in champagne, and groomsmen in a tux) and so I told my mom and my future MIL that they could do any shade of warm neutrals lol so (bronze, brown, taupe, champagne, tan, cream, etc.)

View Quoted Comment This is helpful! I wasn’t sure how this worked either. I’m guessing as long as it’s not a super clashing color to the wedding colors right? I have both his sisters as bridesmaids so I know we will have some family photos so I wouldn’t want to colors to be like red with our sage green bridesmaids dresses.

My mom hasn’t completely confirmed her color yet, but because I’m having a fall wedding with darker colors she’s trying to pick a color that will complement it. We are doing a burgundy wedding with blush accents, so she was thinking of doing dark gray or navy. If you’re doing the earthy tones, I’d ask her to stick with that. My FH’s mother wore a brown dress to one of her daughter’s weddings and it looked beautiful, the bride had chosen a blush pink as her main color and did earthy accent tones.

I would let them wear whatever they want to wear. Moms don't need to match with anyone so let them pick whatever they are comfortable in.

I feel torn about this too. My mom asked me which dress color I liked better. I gave her my opinion but reassured her both were beautiful and that I wanted her to choose the color she liked best. Only to find out later she chose the color I liked but she liked the other one better. Now I feel horrible.

I wouldn’t care what the wore- as it’s not up to the couple to dictate. I’ve asked my FMIL what she’s wearing and her response was something she finds in her closet. Ugh. But if she wants to look crappy that on her not us. Pictures last for a long time.

My fiance and I are giving everyone free range to wear whatever they feel comfortable with, especially the moms! Our dress code states: "Dress to your comfort, casual to cocktail! Ties discouraged, tropical colors encouraged!" If you are having a more strict dress code maybe give them a few different color options to work with! Best of luck

Our wedding is 9/26. I'm not sure what my future MIL is going to wear, but my mom has it narrowed down to either a navy blue or a mulberry/cranberry color. She's asked my opinion because she doesn't want to look too similar to our bridal party. It wouldn't surprise me, if both mom end up wearing navy. I'd say whatever color they prefer as long as it doesn't really clash or match your bridal party exactly.
