     Mother of Bride  

My daughter is getting married in November. Her bridesmaids will be wearing red. What would be an appropriate color for me to wear? And what color would you suggest for Grooms Mother?

The mothers should wear something that compliments the color scheme of the wedding.

I would recommend an elegant red/burgundy gown or 2 pc suit.
Just make sure you don't wear anything too flashy or anything that isolates you from the bridal party.
Depending on your taste, I've seen many beautiful gowns & suits for the mother of the bride (as well as groom) via web.

Good luck!

That's a great recommendation Liz.

Since the wedding is in November you can also do wear tones that compliment red. I suggest a beautiful champagne, silver or gold dress for the mother of the bride and groom.

It also depends on the time of the affair on how formal your dress should be too.

I totally agree with Liz an Lori and think that a jewel tone fall would complement the bridal colors also. The mother of the groom would wait until your selection is made and then coordinate with you.
