Mother of the bride and groom dress color

As of right now, my MatronOH will be in sapphire, my MaidOH will be in emerald. The next BM in sapphire, the last BM in emerald. I'm letting Mister choose the groomsmen attire, I think. We haven't really talked about that yet. Being that sapphire (royal blue) is his favorite color, and emerald (kelly green) is mine, we thought it would be cute if his mom wore his color, and my mom wore mine. We haven't talked about it with them yet, for obvious reasons, but if they're not interested in that, then they can pretty much wear whatever they want.

My girls wore purple, guys in grey. My parents wore navy.

So I wanted the colors to mesh well.. But I let the moms choose whatever they wanted.

Our colors are: royal blue, silver, purple, white/ivory, and an icy/light blue. (Think a wintery feel).

My BMs are in royal blue, as well the GM (black tuxes with royal blue (patterned) ties).. My mom chose a shade of one of my accent colors (purple). FMIL chose teal (not sure where that choice came from or the shade of teal (how dark or light) but okay). FSMIL -- I am thinking she will most likely be in black, but I have no idea what she will end up in.

Our wedding colors are teal, grey and orange. Moh in grey, bms in teal holding orange and white flowers, gms in grey suits. My mom looks lovely in fall colors so I think she is going to wear a burnt orange/rust color and I think my fmil is going to wear either a purply plum or navy. I have no idea what fsmil will wear. I'm not sure if I should talk about it with her or not.

You can't really tell grown women like your mothers what to wear. You can ask that they avoid your wedding colors, black, white, or red, but that's about it.

I agree with you 2d bride, although both my mom and fmil have asked me if I would be alright if they wore those colors. Tbh, they can wear whatever they feel like but I thought it was sweet they wanted my opinion. I only mention talking to fsmil because I don't want her to feel weird if my mom and his mom are dressed in such a way and she's not. The dynamic there is sometimes strained and I try to be sensitive to it. She's not his mom but she is a parental unit.

Bridesmaids in eggplant, men in black, his mom in black, my mom in ice blue. I didn't tell them what to wear and everything looked fine. As long as they don't wear bold prints they should be okay. In my parent's wedding photos, the ladies (2 mothers and 2 grandmothers) wore something in the blue family, while the bridesmaids wore dark pink.

I don't think it's really fair to tell the moms what color to wear, they're grown woman and they are not part of the bridal party. I assume my mom will wear black because that's what she always wears. Actually FMIL is also often wearing black so I wouldn't be surprised if she does too and I honestly don't care! As long as they are there and feel happy and comfortable they can wear whatever they like. That being said I was at a wedding where the MOB wore a champagne colored dress, it was waaaaay too close to white! White is off limits for everybody except the bride! And maybe flower girls.

My girls are wearing cobalt and the guys are probably wearing navy blue tuxes. My mom told me early on that if I didn't choose navy for the BMs that she wanted to wear navy. I told her I'm cool with that. FHs mother passed 6 months before we met. He grew up with his mother and his nana, so he is very close to his nana. Not sure what his nana will wear, but she already told me it probably won't be cobalt or navy. I leaving the choice to her and wouldn't care if she did wear navy or other shade of blue.

I never said I was forcing them to wear any specific color. They asked and I really didn't have an idea of any color

Ah ok that's cool, you would be surprised what some people post here sometimes! My apologies for assuming the worst. Black and navy are great on everybody but especially moms for some reason imho.

You don't decide on a color for the moms. They choose their own colors.

@botty oh no problem! yeah that's what I told my mom, to wear something in the dark color family, she likes wearing black anyways ha!

I told *everyone*-- bridesmaids, moms-- *everyone* "Wear whatever you want". I did NOT want to make my friends pay $100 for dresses they'd never wear again! Plus, who wants to figure out what looks good on a tall, slim blond, a short, plump blond, a medium brunette. But really, when it comes to the moms, they're not part of the bridal party, nor part of the decorations-- they should wear whatever they feel is comfortable and attractive.

My girls are wearing black, the flower girls will be in navy and my mom wants to wear red. My colors are navy ivory and black.

Let them pick what they want. As someone who is probably as old as some of your moms, most of us can figure out what to wear, and probably most moms have a hint about what everyone else in the BP is wearing. But they don't have to match or blend.

The Bridal Party wore lavendars.

My parents and my Husbands father asked what i wanted to them to wear. So i told them Dark purple. It worked well.

Both of our Moms asked me what colors to wear also, I told them it was up to them, but they both insisted on me picking.

For my mom she is doing a sort of Mauve/blushy color and my FMIL will wear a shade of green.

My girls are in Teal, Turquoise and a very light blue. FMIL is going to wait to pick her dress until the girls dresses come in to make sure that it won't clash.

We're going to pick tuxes/suites today, right now we're deciding between Gray and Navy Blue.

I like all of the ideas! My colors will be mint, peach, with gray suits. So I'm sure the moms will find something beautiful !!

The guys are wearing blue suits,brown shoes. The ladies melon dresses, silver shoes. Our colors are melon (between a blush and peach) and blue with accents silver, white, with lots of greenery. My FMIL asked me what I would like her to wear. I just sent her photos of the wedding parties suits and dresses and our color palette and asked her to choose whatever she would like. She picked a very pretty grey and silver dress with a jacket. I found it online and sent a screen shot of it to my FH's step mom with a short and sweet message so she would know what color his mom was wearing. I haven't seen his step mom's dress yet.
