Mob/mog Dress Colors

Erin, on August 8, 2020 at 9:03 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 11
Hi everyone! Trying to give my mom and future MIL suggestions on what colors to wear for the wedding. Bridesmaids dresses will be a light/sky blue so I’m not sure what would coordinate well with that. Also, did you try to have the MOB and MOG coordinate or compliment each other?

    I helped my mom pick a dress, but we didn’t worry about coordinating with my MOHs. She did grab one champagne colored dress that I questioned because my dress is champagne, otherwise I just helped her find something that she looked good in and was comfortable in. My FH’s parents are deceased, but I wouldn’t over think it trying to coordinate. My mom had a hard enough time finding a dress she liked that wasn’t black (were getting married at sunrise and both thought that would look a little out of place), additional requirements would have made it a bigger nightmare.

    Do you have any accent colors like silver or gold in your wedding?

    I was the MOB and agree that I might have the moms go shopping and see what they find. The good news is that pale blue is kind of a neutral, so almost anything will "go" with it (or at least won't clash...). If they are specifically asking for some direction, based on what seemed very prevalent when I was shopping, they'll likely find a fair number of options in navy, silver/gray, champagne, black, and maroon/burgundy -- all of which would look good with pale blue. For sentimental reasons I really wanted to wear a pale pink gown, and eventually found one. It didn't matter to me at all, but the MOG was convinced that 1) I needed to "pick first," and then 2) she needed to coordinate her dress with my selection. She ended up choosing a beautiful dark raspberry colored dress -- so, yes, our dresses looked good together in the relatively few photos we were both in and we didn't clash with the wedding colors (hunter green BM dresses and champagne and pale pink accent colors). I'd try to give them as much latitude as possible, since it's hard to predict what they'll find that they like. If you can, perhaps shop with them -- my daughter and I had so much fun shopping for my dress (as well as hers!). Good luck! Smiley heart

    I would suggest a gray or silver dresses. Yes as mog the mob and I coordinated. We actually wear same color as moh & bridesmaid. Very small wedding but stunning. The four ladies plus bride actually looked great in matching colors.

    They coordinate but they don't have to match anyone.

    Girl this has been the bane of my existence since we started planning.
    Our main colors are navy and sunflower yellow. The decorations and flowers will all be fall colors.
    My mom and dad were great. “Whatever you want me to wear” So my dad has filled out everything for his suit rental and mom has bought this beautiful burgundy dress that I helped her find on Lulu’s.
    My FFIL has been on top of it and his suit rental all taken care of. When I ask my FH about his mom and asking her to wear burgundy, the response is always, “If she even shows up.” I got tired of hearing it so I stopped asking.
    I’d like them to coordinate but at this stage, as long as his mom shows up with minimal drama and not in yoga pants, I’m good.

    What are the colors of your wedding ? My mom & MIL will wear which ever color my bridesmaids aren’t wearing. I’m thinking my bridesmaids will wear silver / gray if so mom & MIL will wear light blue if my bridesmaids wear light blue mom & MIL will wear gray

    We didn’t coordinate our mothers outfits. It’s completely up to them. I did help pick my mom’s outfit. She’s actually going to wear a champagne colored chiffon flows pant suit.

    My bridesmaids dresses are solid navy blue. I suggested both moms get something in navy but with details. Honestly, with COVID, anything goes, in my opinion. We’ve had to postpone once already & our wedding is 2 weeks from today. (Super excited!) At this point, I don’t care what they wear. Lol! Best wishes to you!

    We left the choice up to them. Our wedding colors are dusty blue, blush, and mixed metallics. My mom ended up choosing a dusty mauve dress with kind of a vintage vibe to it and my FMIL chose a dress that is blue with a floral pattern. I don't think they need to match each other or the bridal party, but it's really your personal preference. I helped both of them look for dresses and gave my input but left the final decision up to them
