What color should the mother of bride/groom wear?

Mallory, on January 25, 2020 at 7:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17
Our colors are steel blue, marine, wine and blush.. the bridesmaids dresses are steel blue and marine, the ties that the groomsmen wear will be wine and our flowers are blush and wine.. and I have no idea what colors my mother and my future mother in law should wear.. what do you think?

    The mothers don’t have to match the bridal colors. They should wear whatever color they feel comfortable in. If they are asking you and you want them to coordinate maybe a nice champagne color or even a navy would be pretty. They could also do burgundy.

    I think the burgundy color would be really nice or maybe even a silver or gold would match really well also and they would stand out a little bit from the bridesmaids colors. Smiley smile

    Thanks.. that’s what I’d like to tell them they just keep asking me what color they should wear and they think they should both match that’s why I asked on here for others opinions. I don’t care what color they should wear they just want to go with the color scheme of the wedding but they don’t want to match the bridesmaids exactly

    I’d let them wear whatever color they want. As parents of the bride and groom, they don’t need to match the bridal party or wedding colors.

    My MIL and mom were adamant about having an assignes color for their outfits. I chose silver for them. Our wedding colors are 5 shades of blues and silver.

    We decided that the "tie everything together color" would be silver. So as a sign of respect, the mothers will be all silver. The groom is wearing a medium grey suit. Groomsmen are in navy blue. Bridesmaids are bright blue and baby blue. All men wearing matching baby blue ties. Mens shoes are black. Womens shoes are silver. Tablecloths are royal blue, silver runners, baby blue napkins. I got a little crazy with overthinking the color scheme but im so in love with it now and can't wait to see it all come together!!

    Not white and not blue like the bridesmaids. Everything else is really fair game! Although one in blush and one in grey is always a good combo.

    Thank you! It’s so hard because they’re always asking me what color they should wear and I’m like whatever color you want!

    My mom was the same way. Finally we just went out shopping and she fell in love with the third dress she put on.

    I think a navy blue would be a good match or grey would be nice, that’s what my mother in law is wearing and grey pretty much goes with anything I’d say. And they don’t always have to match your colors but if you want them to just have them match or do something that’s neutral
