     Right Length and Color of MOB Dress  

My daughter is getting married in a downtown Cathedral, 7:30 p.m. She is wearing a long satin dress with beading embellishment on the bodice, hem, and train and a cathedral length veil. Bridesmaids are wearing tea-length, tiffany blue with ivory sash. I chose a long bronze, two-piece with a ruched tailored bodice, 3/4 length sleeves, mermaid or fish-tail skirt. Am I wearing the right color and length? Sales consultant assured me that it would be appropriate but after reading some of the forum responses, I'm concerned.

Thanks.

Bronze is a neutral enough color not to clash with tiffany blue with ivory sashes; however champagne or similar lighter color would do better. Make sure to coordinate with the Mother of the Groom, since your dresses should be the same formality. Enjoy the wedding!

The formality seems right to me. And, really the mother of the groom should be coordinating with you. Hopefully she knows this. If not, perhaps you could approach her.
