Mother of groom attire

I would suggest the two colors but also let her know that whatever she likes, you're happy with! We personally didn't choose anything specific for our MOTG/MOTB. As long as they're comfortable, I trust their ability to dress appropriately.

My mom and his mom actually went shopping together, they wanted to co-ordinate it ended up being a really fun day. I didn't care what color or length their dresses are just wanted them to feel special and beautiful. My sister-in-law had lots of rules and very strong opinions on what the mothers wore at her wedding and it caused a lot of stress for both moms. In some ways it soured the wedding experience for both moms so I was very conscious of not doing that I think the most important thing is that everyone is happy and comfortable, happy planning!

I would tell her she can wear any other except whatever color you the bride is wearing. She doesn't have to match the bridal party or the wedding colors.

I mean that's nice but don't forget it's your day to me I could care less so I asked if my mother in law and fiance now it's silver and gold odd choice but if they're happy as am i

So for both my mother and my MIL I gave them only one direction - please don't wearing the color I'm wearing, or the colors my bridal party is wearing. When my brother got married his MIL wore the exact same color dress as the MOH (and hers was nicer) and it was odd. Very, very odd.

I let both my mom and my MIL chose from there and they kind of consulted each other and both went with jewel tones (my mom in a deep navy blue and my MIL in a deep purple) which I think are going to look gorgeous on them, in our photos, and work really well with the colors my bridal party is in (deep jewel green (think hunter/juniper) and deep burgundy). I'm in black so I asked them not to be in that for the wedding.

My mom is making her gown (and mine) but my MIL ended up finding one she really loved at Azazie - and bonus, you can have the styles shipped to you to try on for $10 a dress. My MIL did this a couple of times before she landed on one she loved, and we had fabric samples sent so she could see the exact color. This helped her pick the style and the sizing that she needed as well, which was great for her.

I think champagne gold would look really lovely with your color choices and if she wants direction I would suggest something along the lines of what I did - that it was up to them just not the same as the wedding party. She'll probably end up with a tone that works in conjunction like mine did.

My only requests were that they didn't wear any color resembling white or anything overtly showy (like a ballgown covered in sequins with a Princess Diana train). I showed both of them our colors, what my bridesmaids are wearing, what my fiancé is wearing, and what the groomsmen are wearing, so they can figure out what colors they like and how much they want to match/ coordinate.

I think as long as you lay whatever ground rules you'd like her to respect, it would be fine if she wore whatever color.

Everyone has given you some good insight already. I just wanted to share what I’ve done as an option for you too.
Our colors are burgundy and navy with silver accents. Bridesmaids in burgundy, groomsmen in navy. Mother of bride and mother of groom have free reign of picking something in the silver/gray/pewter family to help tie it all together and help them stand out.

I would ask them to do light or dark variations of your colors, or they could stay in the same color group…just not the same hue that matches the wedding. That way they tie into your photos together, and it doesn’t look like they’re part of the wedding party. An example would be the lighter variation of dusty rose is blush or smoke being darker than general gray.

I asked my mom and the mother of the groom to wear a dress in my color scheme, mostly because they will definitely be in the pictures and I want my colors to show in those pictures. However, oy is tradition for mother of the bride to get to pick the color before the mother of the groom does. If you were to decide to go the same route with the moms wearing your wedding colors, since you only have two predominant colors, you can let your mom pick one and have your fml to wear the other color

A typical go to color for moms are navy blue. That is what my FMIL is doing and I think my mother as well.
