Re: Wedding MOB Question

I would ask my daughter first.

The bride's wishes are the most important, imo.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Yes I did and so did MOG. It was a Christmas themed Wedding in December.

Please check with the bride.

My brother got married. The bride's Mother's best friend owned a bridal shop. So of course my Mom went to her bridal shop to buy her dress. The best friend of the MOB helped Mom pick out her dress.

It was an afternoon wedding on the patio of an estate over looking the Hudson River.

When the Bride and her Mom saw the dress that my Mom bought, they were VERY displeased. They did not like it. It was a pale yellow lace dress. They told Mom pick something out "more appropriate".

Didn't sit well with Mom. She really liked the dress that she bought and she thought it was appropriate. So back to the bridal shop she went. She bought a pale pink lace dress and it met the approval of the bride and her Mom.

Please check with the bride. You don't want her to be upset.

I have worn black to weddings as a guest. But to me, unless it is an all black and white wedding, it doesn't say happy and joyful to me either.

Not sure why the bride isn't consulted, its her day not ours. I asked my daughter what she preferred and showed her once I picked to make sure it was fine with her.

MY mother wore a black dress with a splash of a mint green, IIRC. I didn't think it was a good sign lol Maybe it's appropriate now for some. My parents were not a fan of us getting married. They liked him, they didn't like him for my husband.

I think it depends on the venue and month. At a late summer beach wedding I attended the MOB. wore a very heavy looking black dress and it was really out of place. Everyone else was dressed in beachy colors and lighter clothes.

Usually the mothers will coordinate colors with the rest of the wedding party.
