Mother of the groom dress

alisha, on May 5, 2019 at 4:47 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

What do you guys think about my mother in law wearing this dress? I can’t decide if it’s too much white.

    I don’t think it looks white at all. I think it’s perfect for a mother of the groom dress.

    It’s lovely. Unless you’re doing a blush dress with a white/ivory overlay, I think it’s fine for her dress.

    I’d just let her wear whatever she likes. It’s not like you’re worried someone will confuse your FMIL for a bride lol. I’m still not clear why brides feel there is a need to control what other people wear to their wedding 🤔

    Can you post a pic of your dress? I think you're ok because she won't look like the bride. Smiley smile

    She actually asked my opinion because she was shopping with me when I tried on all the dresses with the same look. I don’t really mind what anyone wears to the wedding

    Oh I’d just tell her to wear what she likes & feels good in. If her dress is same style as your wedding dress, that might be little strange. Even though still nobody will confuse bride & FMIL lol. But I definitely don't think color is a concern.

    My mom tried on a dress that was almost identical to my wedding dress when she went shopping without me. She will be getting told what to wear.

    Almost identical? Oh wow... Does she know what your dress looks like? Maybe she wanted two of you to match lol 😆

    She went shopping with me. So she did. She swore they looked nothing alike... til I showed her the photo of my dress. I may have had a meltdown. But her shopping by herself privileges have been revoked. 😆

    Oh my goodness, that’s too much 😆
    I guess I never thought about that situation, because my mom or my FMIL would never even consider wearing anything remotely similar to my dress. And I say that without them even knowing how my dress looks like, because we just have completely opposite styles lol. Like, if you thought about 3 styles that couldn’t be any more different, that would be 3 of us 😂

    It doesn't look white at all. Maybe because it isn't white. I don't see the problem.

    I don’t think it is at all too white. However, since you said it is similar to your dress, could you attach a photo of your dress?
