Mother of the Bride Color

Lindsay, on October 28, 2020 at 5:05 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17
Need some help! My main wedding attire colors are plum and navy. My girls will be wearing plum dresses and the men will be wearing navy suits and plum accents. What colors would compliment these for a mother of the bride dress? I don’t want her to match the exact colors but don’t know what direction to go either.

    I think silver, gray, champagne, lavender or dusty rose (something lighter but complimentary to the plum) would all look beautiful (and based on my shopping, would be fairly easy to find). Congrats!

    Totally agree with PP- that works for both the MOB & MOG. You want to make sure those colors will compliment them.

    I think champagne color might look good with that combination, partly beaded or sequined? 🤔

    My colors are navy blue and gold. My mom chose this dress in burgundy. She's the mom so any color would suit her❤

    Silver? Go on Pinterest and look at color palettes that are complementary

    I would let her pick whatever she loves. Her outfit doesn't need to match or compliment your bridal party as she will be in very few or no pictures with them.

    I would do a light pink or a champagne or a cream color maybe.. I would add in a third color to lighten things up a bit..

    Oh I will be. 🙂 We are using white, light wood, and galvanized steel to help break things up for tables/decorations. For the men just the tie and vest will be purple. The shirt will be white. 🙂

    The mothers are not wedding party, they are family guests. They should wear any colors they like and feel good it, with no consideration of what the wedding party is wearing.
    Let them know how formal the affair will be, and that is all, for family and guests. Standard basic manners.

    Our colors were similar and both moms wore champagne.

    My mom has been asking me my preference and while I don’t have one she wants to make sure I’m happy so I am trying to get some ideas to give her. The more I tell her I don’t care the worse it gets. It’s a fun dynamic that would take forever to explain. lol

    While I understand she isn’t part of the wedding party she is still a part of the day. She has been asking me my preference and while I don’t have one she wants to make sure I’m happy so I am trying to get some ideas to give her. The more I tell her I don’t care the worse she gets about wanting ideas from me. It’s a fun dynamic for sure.
