the mother of the bride should wear red because it color coordinates well.
If the bride is wearing pink you should wear a different color as the bride is suppose to be the center of attention.
The mother of the groom should ask the bride's mother what color she will be wearing. Or ask the bride what colors will be used for her bridemaids. There are only two colors she shouldn't wear - white or black. White, because only the bride should wear white. Black because it means mourning and women shouldn't be wearing black for a happy ocaision. Most mother wear blue. Although in these modern times of looser protocols, the mother of the bride and groom can choose to wear black if the color theme of the wedding is black/white. Ivory, cream, off white could then be considered the "white" colors to wear without necessarily wearing white.
White or the color dress of the bride
maybe pink.... i mean, it looks good with red and white, and obviously the mother wouldn't be wearing white haha. hope this helps :)
Never. The only person in ivory should be the bride. It is inappropriate for a person at a wedding, mother or not, to wear the same color as 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.
If the bridesmaids dresses are colours like regency, violet or blue I would say a Teal dress. Teal compliments silver extremely well.
pale blue
The mother of the bride should not wear white but perhaps a cream color or a nude color. Navy blue is also very nice but nothing with loud patterns or big bows.
The mother of the bride is definitely defying tradition by wearing black but this is the 21st century and there are lots of black/white theme weddings. The mother of the groom could wear the traditional beige or champagne to coordinate with the mother's choice of color. I am not sure what "candy apple" means. Is that green? If so, then she could choose a color more in line with the bridesmaids' dresses and wear lime, jade, hunter green or sage. If it candy apple is red, then the MOG could choose red, burgundy, wine, cinnamon.
The mother of the bride must wear a bright coloured dress or suit to show happiness and is also a sign of good luck for a happy marriage
