Mothers aren’t the stars of the show on wedding day, but they should dress for the role of best supporting actress. The ultimate rule is of course that what the bride says goes: If she approves, you’re fine. It is also technically the Mother of the Bride who should choose her outfit first, with the Mother of the Groom deferring her choice. In my opinion, it looks a little silly to have the mothers match the exact wedding colors, or both wear the same shade of color (see picture!), but either of those is better than clashing, and there can be some exceptions. If navy, black, or a dark brown is one of the colors, then it can work for the mother(s). Periwinkle blue or red, not so much. Also, avoid white or ivory, unless it’s lace trim or maybe an accent. Some of my favorite mother’s gowns are from Collection 20 by Watters and Watters. They have lovely fabrics and very classic, elegant styles. Also, it’s perfectly acceptable to wear an appropriate bridesmaids dress- no one needs to know! If anyone else has advice/ideas, feel free to comment!
