     Will this color work for the MOB dress  

I am getting married in April 2006 and it is an evening ceremony. My colors right now are black, ivory & wine (deep burgandy). I have changed my wedding colors 3 times already. My mother wanted to wear a champagne color dress. Is this ok? I am wearing an ivory colored wedding gown and my groom a black tux. My maid of honor and my bridesmaid are wearing wine color dresses but in 2 different styles. The best man & groomsmen will have on black tuxedos with wine colored vests and ties. I was thinking my mother would wear a mauve colored dress. She doesn't like the idea. She first wanted to wear ivory but I thought that would draw the attention away from me if she had on the same color, so she opted for champagne. I know my mother in law will wear black. That's all she ever wears. Are there too any variations of color going on here? I am so stressed out right now. I just want to enjoy the idea of marrying my sweetie, not what color dress my mother wears. Please helpFrown

Hi 2nervous,

I think that champagne will go very nicely with your wedding colors. In fact, champagne would be one of the colors I would suggest if you had asked for color suggestions. I agree that if your mother wears ivory, it will detract from your dress.

Black is also a perfect choice for the mother of the groom given the current choices.

Dear 2nervous,

With the wedding party wearing a rich wine color, I would suggest your mother to wear the champagne color. Champagne will compliment the wedding party without clashing or overpowering the bridal party. All of these colors will photograph well together! Good luck and have fun!
