Hi there!! Any suggestions on the colors for my parents to wear to my wedding? Our bridesmaids are wearing sage, and the groomsmen are wearing navy.

Thank you for your insight!

I'd just let them wear whatever they want! If they want some guidance (my parents did), then just have them stay within the same color family, but not necessarily the exact shades.

Grey either light or dark with be lovely, I'm also loving the idea of mom wearing a hunter green dress it would look awesome with the sage bridesmaid dresses.

I would just tell them what your bridal party is wearing and let them pick their own look. Most parents will want to coordinate, but since they are not technically a part of your bridal party they don't have to. My mom, step mom and MIL all wanted to know what everyone else was wearing, color wise, and coordinated, but I left them in charge of that. (Both mom and step mom ended up wearing an identical shade of navy blue by accident! Step mom wore eggplant)
I wouldn't stress too much about what the parents wear

Try these colors for mom. Also, my dad is wearing the same suit as the groomsmen but his vest is a different color and will have a bowtie which matches my moms dress.
