Q: My mom and I have started to think about mother-of-the-bride dresses for her. We know basically the style we’re looking for but are getting a little caught up with MOB dress colors. For some reason we both assumed that we should be looking for blue mother-of-the-bride dresses. But really, what are the best mother-of-the-bride dress colors?
A: Great question! Simply put, mother-of-the-bride/groom dress colors are entirely up to you. You can really go in any direction for MOB dresses with the exception of white. As you go seeking advice on how to color-coordinate your mom and bridesmaid dresses, the real question you may want to ask yourselves is how matchy you’d like your mom to be with the rest of your bridal party. Your mom could wear a dress in exactly the same color, but there are lots of other options and our best piece of advice is to do what makes you both feel comfortable. The easiest route to take is to either go for a color that’s slightly darker or lighter than your bridesmaids, or to choose a complementary color. So for example if your bridesmaids will be in cobalt blue, then your mom might want to wear navy. She could also get away with a soft green or even pink. To keep the look super classic, she could also shop neutral dresses for MOBs. Now that you have a sense as to how to approach your mom’s dress color, it’s time to get shopping.
