MOG Dress Color for Formal Wedding

Hi - Formal wedding coming up. Bride in white. MOB, who is walking her down aisle, probably champagne color (maybe more taupe). Attendants in black. What color dress for MOG? I'm lost! Thanks for any help/advice.

Dear Colorless,

You will need to know exactly the formality of the dress and the color as you are expected to coordinate with her.

Those colors are neutral, so you have just about all colors to choose from. Champagne has silver and lavender in it. So, you could pull from those colors.

Just stay away from red, anything too bright, and anything too revealing.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid to go with color because in photos I don't want to stand out, if all others are in white and black and Mother in champagne (maybe taupe/beige). It is a long formal gown. Thanks again.

Very good thinking. If you choose to go with a lavender, it could be a subtle shade.
