Rule number one of dressing as the mother of the bride or groom is never to wear the same colour as the bride. This means no white or similar (if it’s a traditional wedding) or any other colour that the bride chooses to wear unless you’ve been given permission from the bride or groom.
Generally, it's a good idea to wait until the bridal party have decided on a colour theme, then, you can choose to complement it or contrast it.
Navy is the most popular dress colour worldwide for mothers of happy couples, but lighter hues like lavender, plum, peach, coral, pewter, lemon or eggplant are always in style.
-
There are no hard and fast rules regarding the length of the mother of the bride outfits.
The length can depend on a number of factors, such as the style of the wedding, the time of day, and the personal preferences of the mother of the bride.
However, it is generally recommended that the mother of the bride's dress should be at least knee-length or longer, especially for more formal or traditional weddings.
Floor-length dresses can also be a popular choice for formal weddings, while tea-length dresses can be a good option for less formal weddings. Ultimately, the most important thing is for the mother of the bride to feel comfortable and confident in her choice of dress.
