My wedding is June 21st and the colors are yellow and ivory. Both of my dresses are ivory and I am having a hard time finding dresses for the mothers. The bridesmaids are wearing a soft yellow dress with an ivory sash. My grandmother and the groom's mother complain that yellow clashes with their skin color so they want to wear another color and I have only been able to find my mother an ivory dress. My grandmother LOVES the idea of being able to wear ivory but is it right. Should they wear the same color as the bride. I have had mixed answers. I'm ok with it as long as it is proper etiquette.

Dear Lavesa,
They really shouldn't wear the same color as the bridesmaids. So, they don't have to worry about wearing it. They could wear any color that blends, except red or anything really bright.
They could wear ivory if the attire couldn't and wouldn't be viewed as anything a bride would wear. But, there are so many other colors to choose besides ivory. Just about everything blends with your soft yellow.
