Dress color choice for Father of the Groom's fiance'?
End of Dec. wedding in Miami. I'm the MOB, my ankle-length 2piece outfit is a solid true dark Navy blue. Short 3/4 sleeve jacket style top with some embroidered type trimming and a flowy skirt in crepe back satin with navy shoes. Here's the thing...the FOG's fiance' (newly engaged) is also wearing a navy 2 piece skirt/top, but her top has Silver in it (silver shoes). She knew I was wearing Navy, but this is an outfit she really loves and wants to wear. (Not sure yet of the exact style/length). My dress is being made for me by a seamstress, so I know it's not going to be the same as hers, plus, chances are the navy's won't be exact. A little history, the fiance' has already agreed to return 1 outfit as it was nearly the same dress of the bride's grandma, same designer, same exact color Lapis/blue. She was very nice about it, so I hate to ask her to look for something else again. Does it really matter if she's wearing Navy too?My daughter (bride) is fine with it, and I'm OK with it. Bridesmaids are wearing a kinda bright/deep pink, MOG is wearing dark teal. As far as I know, fiance' will be seated with the FOG for the ceremony. Your opinion and/or advice would be appreciated.

Dear Jessab,
She really should have dressed as one of the guests unless being treated as one of the mothers, which isn't common at this point. She should be seated with her fiance though.
She shouldn't dress in the same color as you. But, if both you and your daughter are fine with her choice, then it is fine. Your daughter is the boss here.
