Which dress looks better?

Jordan, on May 26, 2019 at 9:52 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22
The mother of the groom is looking at both dresses and can't really decide which looks better. Also another question, would this dress be a lil too heavy for a morning/early afternoon wedding? Hope you guys can help

    Navy is more typical as far as color goes but I love both! Is the MOB wearing a color that would coordinate at all with either choice? That could help make the decision but my mom and my husband's mom didn't coordinate colors and it still looked fine!

    We are a same sex couple, so there's no MOB per se. And it could end up that she's the only mother that will be attending.

    I think the blue compliments her skin better. Very pretty dress!

    The red is stunning on her! And I think the dress should work fine for your wedding time Smiley smile

    Both are beautiful but I’m partial to the burgundy on her. ❤️

    Does she think it’s too heavy for a day wedding? I didn’t see where you’re getting married but if it’s summer where the heat or humidity is over 90, then maybe too heavy. But let her decide.

    Both colors look really nice on her, is there other bridal party? What colors are they wearing?

    Oh I'm sorry for the assumption! I think she looks stunning in both, though. I wish you both the best and hope that planning goes well! ❤

    Since it's clearly the same dress they both look wonderful but I think I like the navy color with her skin tone best. And personally I feel like the moms should wear whatever they're most comfortable in. No matter the time of day for the wedding. Honestly it'll (hopefully) be the only time she gets to wear a dress like that to her son's wedding.

    The wedding is 4/25/2020 so it should be nice weather. Hopefully at least.

    The "bridal party" will be all guys most probably so it wouldn't affect the MOG dress, I don't think

    Reason I asked is because my BMs are wearing burgundy, and my seamstress made a comment about how the moms would want to avoid wearing green (Christmas colors), or a color that would potentially clash in photos.

    I had initially told the moms to wear wear any color they felt comfortable in, and was super thankful when the seamstress pointed that out! I think the navy or burgundy Wilma look great with pretty much any color they would wear (I’m picturing like Navy, burgundy, tan, gray,???)! She looks awesome in both colors though!

    She looks good in most of the dresses she's tried on, and thus a lil hard for us to decide which to go with 😄

    Hey! We are 4/25/2020 too! Yay for wedding date twins 💍❤️ I personally think they are both beautiful but when I scrolled and saw the blue I was like oh yeah that one for sure! It makes her look beautiful in the dress and not just her in a beautiful dress if that makes sense.

    I think the top (burgundy?) dress looks better

    This is so difficult, Jordan Smiley xd

    Both colors look fab on her!

    What is the style/theme of your wedding? Does one of the colors fit this more than the other?

    Let's say you're wedding style was rustic, I would personally pick the burgundy!

    Both grooms will be wearing navy/Cobalt blue (we haven't tried suits yet). But other than that, it will be light colors like pastel pink, salmon, and maybe a touch of gold

    Do you think the navy option would go with the navy/cobalt blue you have in your mind for the suits? The MOG by no means has to match or coordinate with the grooms, however, if you are both wearing shades of blue, the burgundy might look nice alongside it and in photos? Especially with the other colors, you will have.

    Here are your colors navy, gold, and pink. I think the burgundy looks nice in this mix!
