Color Ideas for Mom
While the mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and special guests always have the option to match the bridal party or wear a similar shade, we created this handy guide to make further color-coordination effortless.
for Parties in Pinks, Reds & Corals
Try greys and neutrals such as charcoal, champagne, blush, or a metallic.
When the palette is light and airy, Mom can strike a sophisticated balance in deeper, earthier shades. With brightly colored bridesmaid dresses, a shimmering metallic dress is a brilliant choice.
Pick a different fabric from the bridesmaids to subtly stand out.
For Parties in Greens & Blues
Try blues, greens, purples, and neutrals such as navy, emerald, plum, or silver.
These versatile—and universally flattering—palettes make it easy for mothers of the bride and groom to harmonize. With pale green and blue hues, we love silvery shades for Mom, while jewel tones pair well with other rich colors.
Touch base with other moms and mother figures so your dress colors don’t clash.
For Parties in Purples
Try purples, greys, and neutrals such as plum, graphite, black, or navy.
Mom can feel comfortable indulging in this rich and regal palette. The beautiful thing about a purple bridal party: A variety of shades look good together.
Consider what you’ll be most comfortable wearing for a full day of celebrating!
For Parties in Yellows & Oranges
Try mid-tone browns, neutrals, and metallics such as taupe, champagne, or gold.
These palettes can feel either tropical or autumnal. Either way, Mom can carry the warmth of the hues through to her look. Try lighter shades for warm temperatures and darker tones for cool weather.
A simple silhouette covered in sequins works for almost any dress code.
Parties in Neutrals
When the bridal party is dressed in neutral tones, anything goes for Mom—you can even try a print!
