Outfit guides · Mothers and grandmothers of the couple
Mother of the bride and groom
The mothers of the couple are part of the wedding party, so their outfits are usually chosen to go with the bridesmaids and the overall colors, while looking a little different from them.
Shades that sit well beside a wedding party
- Navy
- Dusty Rose
- Champagne
- Lavender
- Silver
- Plum
What to wear
- Match the formality of the wedding: a gown for black tie, a dress or an elegant suit for daytime and semi-formal weddings.
- Sleeves, a jacket or a wrap are practical for ceremonies and air-conditioned rooms.
- Comfortable shoes matter: mothers are on their feet greeting guests all day.
Choosing a color
- A deeper or softer shade of the wedding colors looks planned without copying the bridesmaids.
- The two mothers don’t need to match, but it’s kind to agree that their colors go together.
- Avoid white, ivory and the bridesmaids’ exact color.
What to shop for
- Mother-of-the-bride dresses and gowns
- Jackets, boleros and wraps
- Low and block-heel shoes
- Jewelry
- Clutches
