“Mother of the Bride Fashion: Choosing the Perfect Color Dress for Your Daughter’s Big Day”

Our Opinion


Greetings, fellow parents of the bride-to-be! As the staff here at The Parent Game, we understand the stress and excitement that comes with planning a wedding. And one of the biggest questions that often arises is: what color dress should the mother of the bride wear?

Well, fear not, dear readers, for we are here to offer some guidance on this crucial fashion decision. It’s important for the mother of the bride to look and feel her best on the big day, so choosing the right color dress is essential.

First and foremost, it’s important to consider the overall color scheme of the wedding. This will help ensure that the mother of the bride’s dress complements the rest of the wedding party’s attire. If the wedding has a specific color palette, it’s a good idea to choose a dress that fits within that scheme.

Another consideration is the season in which the wedding is taking place. For example, pastel colors are a popular choice for spring weddings, while rich jewel tones are perfect for fall and winter weddings. It’s also important to consider the venue and the time of day that the wedding is taking place, as these factors can influence the appropriate color choice.

Of course, there are some timeless rules to keep in mind. Traditionally, the mother of the bride should avoid wearing white or any shade that could overshadow the bride. Instead, opt for colors that are elegant and sophisticated, such as navy, burgundy, or emerald green.

Ultimately, the most important thing is for the mother of the bride to feel comfortable and confident in her dress choice. After all, this is a special day for her too, and she deserves to shine just as brightly as the happy couple.

So, dear parents of the bride, we hope this guide has helped shed some light on what color dress the mother of the bride should wear. Remember, when in doubt, stick to classic, elegant colors that will make you feel like the fabulous parent that you are. Happy shopping, and here’s to a beautiful wedding day for all!
