dress color mother of the groom image

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.

What would be good colors for the Mother of the Bride and Groom to wear?

My bridesmaid are going to be wearing black dresses and carry white flowers. SO that is pretty much the theme for my wedding I guess. But my mother wasn't very sure on what color she should wear she doesn't want to wear black or white for the obvious reasons so what color would look good on them for this day? Also MOG is having the same issue she doesn't want to clash with the bridesmaid dresses in the pictures so what color should each wear and should their dress colors be similar?
Answer
Silver or pale pastel colors such as light blue,pink or pale yellow would look absolutely beautiful.Something floral would also be nice just stay away from colors that are too outrageous such as big chunks of red,bright yellow,orange.
Or she could wear something very sophisticated and feminine such as a pale pink dress with a off white strappy heels or pumps and a small red clutch bag. she will be able to carry this look both in the evening and day time as pink feminine enough to ear during the day whereas the simple splash of red adds confidence and vitality to the ensemble.
Or perhaps a silk dark blue dress with a cream pumps/heels with silver accessories add to the contrast theme within your wedding.
I wish you the best of luck with your wedding and hope my answer helped.
