No, the mother of the bride does not have to wear a blue dress. The mother of the bride can wear any color dress she likes best, provided it's not white to upstage the bride.

Is it proper for the mother of the bride to wear a red dress when the brides dress has a lot of red in it doesn't that take away from the bride?
No woman going to the wedding should wear the exact color of the bride. In the case of this bride wearing a wedding dress with a lot of red in it then it is fine if the mother wears a more solid color of dress or it will take away from the bride. The bride is the focal point and thus, the wedding party and female guests should not dress in the colors of the bride.This is up to you, the bride. Oftentimes, the bride will want the mother of the bride to wear a dress that is complementary to the colors of the wedding. In this case, the secondary color of your wedding dress is red. So, it is appropriate for the MOB to wear a solid red dress or a dress that has red tones in it alongside another color or colors. This really does not take away from the bride's dress or the bride herself.

Have long chiffon dress. Color and style appropriate. Wondering about muted print. Cannot find information about wearing dress with print. Is it OK for the mother of the bride to wear this dress?
Yes, it is fine for the mother of the bride to wear a long chiffon dress in a muted color. Take your daughter's wedding dress and put it up against your dress. If the dress looks too muted and is white in color then you should not wear it because the bride should always be the focal point in the wedding; but if the dress looks fine and the muted print will show up when the photographer takes pictures then it's fine to wear.

Can the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride wear the same color?
* The mother of the bride and the mother of the groom do not wear the same outfit. Mothers will wear dresses and they may be different in fashion and color as long as the color of the dress stays within the guidelines of the colors the bride has chosen for her wedding: Example: If the bride's Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids have long or short dresses in a midnight blue then the mothers could wear soft shell pinks; soft blues, etc. The bride or grooms mothers should never wear white or off white. One mother may want to wear a short dress while the other mother may prefer a longer dress. If you can and your Maid of Honor or Bridesmaids are in long dresses see if you can't get your mother and future mother-in-law to wear a long dress as well as it looks better in wedding pictures, but if one refuses it's not worth a possible argument. You can take your Maid of Honor with you and take both mothers to a wedding shop and have a say in what you would like as far as style, but go easy on the moms and realize they may have a good reason for choosing a certain dress to match their body type. If it is a matter of money for one or both of the mothers then rent the dresses.
