Mother of the Bride Dress Color

My daughter's wedding dress is full length white strapless, the girsl are wearing cocktail length green clover(from David's Bridal).  The boys are wearing a khaki colored suit.  What color should the mother of the bride wear?  It was suggested by a bridal boutique that I wear Peony Pink with my coloring to compliment the wedding party.  Is that ok?  Green, Pink and white are flower colors and wedding theme.

  • Anything that complements the colors of the wedding would be fine. And you can never go wrong with mauves or neutral colors. Good luck
  • Pink would be beautiful, as would a champagne or other neutral.

  • If pink goes well with your coloring, that would be very nice, as it also compliments the wedding colors.  A neutral would also be nice.

  • I think you should wear something that makes you look and feel fantastic!  You don't need to match the BP. 
  • You don't need to match - if you find something you love - go for it, it's nice to coordiate - but lots of colors can coordinate - don't have to be the same as the BP - I think I would stay in the same tones - don't want jewel tones, if everything else is pastels necessarily,-

  • I think the pink sounds nice, especially if it s a wedding color.  A beige or taupe may be nice too if you want to be a little more subtle.  I would ask your daughter what she thinks, she may want something more neutral.  I have the same wedding colors and my FMIL wants to wear pink, I told her itd be pretty, I want everyone to wear whatever they want.  But I have known brides who like to control every detail, and sometimes like parents to wear more neutral color, so they don't stand out to much in photos.  I'd pick a couple options you like, then ask your daughter what she thinks would be best.
  • my wedding colors are pink/green/ivory, pink would look wonderful :)
