Yes, she can! You should consult with the bride to make sure she approves of the idea, but formal pantsuits and jumpsuits make contemporary alternatives to classic Mother of the Bride dresses.

What color outfit should she wear?
The MOB doesn't need to match the bridesmaids - after all, you have a unique title, so your outfit should stand out, too. You can have your own style while still coordinating with the wedding party by wearing a pantsuit in colors and materials that complement the bridesmaid dresses. Use our color coordinator to pick the hues that work best with the wedding color palette.Can the mother of the bride wear white? How about black?
Generally, the bride should be the only woman wearing white at a wedding, but there are many other color options for the mothers of the bride and groom to wear. If the bride's style is non-traditional, she may not mind her mother wearing white. It's best to ask for her input since it's her day.
Black is an acceptable color for the MOB to wear, just think about how it will look with the rest of the wedding party and color palette. If the bridesmaids are wearing pastel colors, black could look harsh or out of place. If the color scheme includes darker tones, black could be very complementary. Again, your best bet is to talk to the bride so you're both happy!
