color dress does mother groom wear image
ThorGod of
The mother of groom asked my opinion on
what color her dress should be for my wedding and I answered anything but black. Much to my surprise she is wearing black. I'm embarrassed because this signals mourning and disapproval of me. How do I handle this because I am so upset. Should I let her know or act like it doesn't bother me? Will she look like the rude one in this situation or will it negatively reflect on me?
Answer
It's strange that she chose black after you said anything but black. Maybe she misunderstood...? I'd have your fiance ask her-- in a offhanded way "hey, how come you chose black? As I recall we were shooting for anything BUT black".
Still, regarding your idea that black is some kind of slight, nothing could be farther from the truth. Black is a very popular color in weddings now. My son was married this summer and the wedding party wore black with pink accents. It was stunning. The MOB and I both chose black dresses to go with our husband's black tuxes. I know several other MOBs and MOGs from this past year who chose black dresses. It's not a slight, it's not "mourning". Black is formal, it's complimentary, it's classy. I'm guessing his mom chose it because it looks good and she feels good in it. What difference does it make anyway? The wedding is about you and your groom. Please don't start your marriage off with a silly feud about a color that, in the long-run doesn't matter at all. My MIL wore a Hawaiian flowered moo-moo to our wedding. Who cares? We had an amazing time. The marriage is what's important, not the wedding.

Im getting married in 4 months my mother and my mother in law don't get along my bridesmaids dresses are apple red a dark red. the flower girls dresses pink what should my mother n the grooms mother wear? Him n I are wearing white.
Answer
My daughter is also going with apple red and we are wearing black(MOB) and burgundy (MOG). It is an evening wedding or I would not feel comfortable in black. Grandmother is wearing a deep plum color. If I had to choice another outfit I would have went with burgundy too since I look washed out in pink. Hope that helps!
