Mother of Bride/groom

What are your wedding colors?

Generally you let them decide the color and style of dress that they would like to wear. Whatever they feel beautiful and comfortable in.
Congratulations ❤👰💍🥰

Both mothers are fair skinned. My mom is doing navy, and his mom is TBD. I think beige/sparkly neutral is kind of standard for moms a lot.

I let our moms pick whatever they wanted so they would be comfortable. They don't really need to match your bridal party as they won't really be in photos with them. Since they are asking, I would probably tell them like neutral colors like silver or gray or I would tell them colors that compliment your wedding colors.

I didn't care as long as it wasn't white, navy (totally clashes my colors) or matching my bridesmaids. Well my mom decided she wasn't going to listen and got a navy dress. Honestly it pissed me off a lot (she has been trying to make this her 2nd wedding and navy was one of her colors), but my mom loved it and I was tired of fighting with her on wedding stuff so I let her win that battle lmao. My MIL hasn't bought anything yet though.

My mother is wearing almost the same color as my bridesmaids, which marine blue (it's like navy but you can tell it's blue) The MOG hasn't made up her mind but might go for an emerald green. My grandma (nana) also hasn't decided, she raised us as well as my mom so just as important. My nana is my Dads mom. I was kinda mad that my mom would match the girls but oh well. She lives in N.C and i'm in NY so wasn't on top of it as i liked so she went with it and told me later, lol. For mom tho perrywinkle blue, lavender, dusty pink, mauve, dark gold sequins.... those are all pretty

So our wedding is a fall wedding. Main colors are navy and sunflower yellow.
I want my mom and his mom in burgundy. My mom is already purchased a dress in burgundy that I suggested for her. His mom, on the other hand, is super flaky and unreliable. Anytime she calls him, it all drama. So when I asked him if we could get his mom to wear burgundy, he responded “if she even shows up.” I’m a little concerned about what she will wear to the wedding but since she doesn’t answer anyone’s phone calls or texts, I’m washing my hands of it.

I let my mother pick the color she wanted to wear based off our wedding colors and then once she decided I just told my MOL the color.

Our colors are like a dusty rose/mauve. my mom got a mauve dress and MOG got burgundy.

My MIL has passed away unfortunately, but for my mom I wanted her to compliment the wedding colors but not match the bridal party. Our colors are champagne and sparkle gold with a touch of wine. My MOH and bridesmaids are wearing wine. So my mom will be wearing champagne.

I just said their dresses couldn't be white, grey, dark blue, or green so they wouldn't be to close to my dress, the groom's tux or anyone in the bridal party's outfit. My mom ended up with a goldish dress and his is wearing a plum colored one. If you're trying to assign colors, think about your wedding colors, choose two that aren't what your bridesmaids are wearing, and tell each mother to choose a dress in a shade that's similar to but either lighter or darker than that color.
