Is a black dress ok for a MOB?? Wedding is July 7th, and she's thinking on the longer side; either tea-length or full length.

Thanks!!

    Anything she likes and feels good in is fine. Color of  BM dresses, color of the wedding--none of that matters. She is not in the WP and doesn't have to match (none of the parents do). As long as the formality of her dress matches the formality of your wedding (she probably wouldn't want an evening gown in a casual backyard affair for instance) and she likes it, that's all that matters. Black is totally fine.

    Black is just fine, as long as she's comfortable with it. If it's an evening wedding or inside, it's probably perfect, but if it's outside, make sure she'll be comfortable and not overheat. Black is very classy.

    I almost wore black to my daughter's wedding, but at the last minute found a deep navy dress. Mom should wear a color she likes most and feels great wearing.  Personally, unless the formality of your wedding dictates it, I always feel more comfortable in a shorter dress.

    When shopping for my son's wedding (also July 7 ;-D  ), I saw a lot of dresses in pretty shades of deep khaki, taupe, and champagne that feel summery yet lovely.

    The MOB and MOG may pick any color, except white/ivory,  and length that they like, as long as the dress matches the formality of the wedding.

    We are having this same discussion in my family. My daughter (the bride to be) and I think black is classy and suitable for the mothers to wear to an evening wedding. My mother (grandmother of the bride) thinks it's inappropriate for anyone to wear black to a wedding.

    Your comments made my mom feel so much better!! I was actually thinking that black might not be appropriate for a wedding, but you are all right - whatever she feels comfortable in is what she should pick. Black is absolutely classy - as is navy, another color she is contemplating.

    I too have seen beautiful dresses in khaki-like colors. These are perfect for the summer months too.

    Thank you all for your quick responses! I'll let you know what she decides!

    xoxo
