Well I think she needs a color that compliments it, Tell her that her OWN color that compliments your girls wil make her stand out as a SPECIAL person in your life!
I don't think it's a big deal for her to be wearing the same color, but if she's having a hard time finding something she may need to think about changing it up.
My mom wore the same color as my bridal party. She walked me down the aisle so.I wan5ed her to match. I dont think its a big deal as long as she isn wearing white!
My girls are wearing black.. so it wouldn't be that weird if my mom wore black, since I'm sure many guests will be wearing black. I want her to accent our colors (black, grey, and green) so that in family photos where we're holding flowers and whatnot, everything looks nice.. but without being too matchy machy
It is very traditional for a mother to wear the same color family as the wedding party though I have mostly seen it done in a slight different shade of that color. But as long as she finds a dress that doesn't match your BMs then I wouldn't worry about it.
3 of my bridesmaids are wearing blue and 3 are wearing a grayish color. and since there are blue black and silver/grayish in our colors my fmil is wearing blue my step mom is wearing gray and my fh's dads girlfriend is wearing black.
I actually had my mom wear the opposite color of the bridal party because i thought it was going to be too much fuschia. It your preference. My mom complained and first then when she saw all us together she liked the idea she stood out.
I would have been fine with either of the mothers wearing the same color as my bridesmaids. If they didn't do the same color I just wanted them to compliment the girls I told them no pastels, more bold fall colors. They both ended up with black with sparkle details and I'm fine with they, the MOG was worried that wearing black would make it look like she was unhappy with the wedding...but I think black looks great and is flattering for both of them.
I don't see a problem with her wearing the same color, but I would say it has to be a diff dress. Most weddings I have been to the mob wore the wedding colors just on a mob style dress.
