What are the most popular colors for mother of the bride dresses?
When searching for the perfect mother of the bride dress for your daughter’s wedding, there are a few different routes you can go. One classic option is to choose a neutral hued dress such as taupe, gray, or beige. These colors are elegant and classy, but aren’t too close to white where you’ll take away from the bride.
The other route you can choose is to wear a color that complements the bridesmaid dresses or groom’s tuxes. For example, if the wedding party is wearing navy blue, you could opt for a light blue dress. This way, you’ll match the theme without looking like you're a part of the bridal party. Before you begin your search, make sure you discuss with your daughter what color she prefers.
Your kids may ask you to go in a different direction altogether! That’s totally fine, of course. Just be sure to check in with the couple before you shop so you can make sure the dress you fall in love with fits their vision.
