Hello!
My wedding theme colors are various shades of purple with small accents of gold. We were planning on having the groom and BM/GM wear charcoal. The BM/MOH will wear dark purple. Flower Girl will be wearing white/lilac.
My mom is having trouble coming up with a color to wear for MOB. She likes the idea of black and gold, but I'm not sure that will go, as all of the dresses she's shown me have more black than gold in them. She is telling me all of the MOB dresses are navy (wont go for sure), brown, gold/black, smoke, silver or champagne. All of the champagne colors look too close to my wedding dress color and silver will clash with the gold accents.
What colors do you think would go best? Both MOB and FMIL are against wearing light colors since they are both fair skinned. I feel like there is only 1 color option that will truly work (smoke), but then what color does FMIL wear?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am baffled at this point and I don't want my wedding to look too "Halloweeny" with the purple/black/gold in August, but I'm not sure that will really be an issue with just one dress. My mom just wants to look and feel her best alone and standing with the wedding party.
Also, I understand my FMIL can wear whatever color she wants, but my mom is pretty set on the "traditional" she picks first, then FMIL so they don't "wear the same color". My FMIL has no idea and asked me for suggestions (at first she thought she had to match the BM). Both of them are asking me for color help, and honestly, I am running out of ideas!
Thank you!
