My wedding colors are canary yellow and ivory. I am trying to figure out what colors would look good for my mom and future mother in law. They wanted to wear champagne but I just read on a website that mothers should avoid wearing white, ivory, or champagne which are in the same color family. And my dress is ivory so they can't wear that anyway. Please give advice. My wedding is April 18.

avoid RED , and lt colors they should wear dark or go opposite of wht and yellow.

How should groom's mother dress for outdoor December wedding?

I read the answers given already and they are helpful. However, the wedding is being held outside on wood decking and grass. No heels. It is being held at sunset. The mother of bride is wearing gray and black. I don't like to be cold. I don't want to be dealing with a wrap. I cannot find a simple crop pant suit in silk, and when I do it's in black or grey. I am 5"2 and small framed. Any other suggestions?

Answer
I woulnd't wear a pants suit - Ug. Too matronly and not attractive. I don't think anyone wears anything like that anymore. Does it have to be that dressy - i.e., silk? Can you think about wearing a camel colored cashmere or angora sweater dress with some dressy boots? That would be gorgeous and so chic. I would bet you're not old enough to pull off a pants suit anyway :) With the right jewelry, it could look smashing!
