Can a mother of the bride wear periwinkle when the girls are wearing red?

Yes, that color is fine, and the outfit sounds beautiful as you describe it!

Can a mother of the bride wear periwinkle when the girls are wearing red?
Wear what flatters you and makes you feel good. My mom and MIL kept asking me during the planning process what I wanted them to wear. While I was pretty anal about most of the wedding details, I honestly did not care. Plus I didn't think it was my place to tell them what to wear. I know it was a big day for both of them and I wanted them to be comfortable and happy.
Reply:Of course you can may I add the periwinkle sounds really beautiful. ( I love Blue)


At one of my daughters weddings I wore pink bridesmaid blue and mother in-law cream daughter gown was ivory oh yeah I was horrified


In the end everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to so I guess it was all OK anyway








Im sure you will look beautiful and very proud
Reply:I just don't see those colors looking good together in photos.


Have the dress store know the dresses are in the red range group. They should help you pick something that will at least go well in the photos.


Why not a pinkish/beige?
Reply:Sounds like just the right thing to me...





My mum has been stressing about what to wear for my wedding in april as everything she'd seen and liked was black... she was worried about people thinking it was too much like funeral attire.





I told my mum to wear whatever she liked and was comfortable in. no matter what colour, style etc





Your daughter will be proud of whatever you wear, how much it cost is irrelavent.
Reply:I was going to say red until I saw her saying you can where whatever color you like, so if so... periwinkle should be fine... especially if it's in a dress that you like.
Reply:Periwinkle sounds really nice. Or you could wear pink if you are into that colour, and it would go as it is a lighter shade of red.


But don't wear something that stands out, the other guy who said that is totally wrong. MOB is meant to blend in, not stand out, she is not a bride nor a bridesmaid. If MOB tries to stand out too much it will look like she is trying to get attention from the bride and bridesmaids and this won't go down well with both the bride and other guests and believe me, people do notice if the MOB is trying to upstage the bride.


But what you said sounds very nice and tasteful. You are good to respect your daughter's wishes. Good luck shopping!
Reply:If you want to see what it will look like, I actually have a photo that I can send you of a family wedding. The girls dresses were wine and one of the grandmothers wore periwinkle. I have a photo of a bridesmaid and the grandmother next to each other.
Reply:That dress sounds nice. I think it would be fine.
Reply:You like the periwinkle dress. You find it flattering, and it is in the right price range.





Buy it already, before it is gone. It will be fine.
Reply:yes you can wear that...you don't have to match or contrast with the bridesmaids at all...your outfit sounds lovely - go for it!!
Reply:I think periwinkle is a beautiful color, but think about this: the pictures will be red, white and blue (very patriotic!).
Reply:Whatever color you like except white. Enjoy!
Reply:The Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom should wear the same FORMALITY (ultra-formal, formal, semi-formal or casual) as the other members of the wedding party.





The Mothers of the Bride and Groom should have their own look which means they are not a bridesmaid and should not dress like a bridesmaid. Your dress or gown should be outstanding with matching shoes, handbag, and jewelry. And don't forget to get your hair done and nails done for the wedding.





Try to avoid wearing PASTEL colors, the color of your dress should POP out. Why? Because pastel colors tend to fade into the background, and you'll be very disapponted when you see the photographs several weeks after the wedding.

Reply:I don't see why not...especially if it's okay with your daughter! Since it's in the blue color family...and red always goes with blue...I don't see the problem with it!! Congratulations!
