Choosing a mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom dress is about finding a look that feels elegant, timeless, and beautifully coordinated with the wedding party. While moms don't need to perfectly match the bridesmaids, selecting complementary colors helps create a cohesive look in photos and throughout the celebration.
Here are a few favorite pairings:
Sage Green Bridesmaids → Champagne, taupe, soft gold, silver, or dusty blue
Dusty Blue Bridesmaids → Gold, emerald, soft pink, navy, or blush
Champagne or Neutral Bridesmaids → Navy, emerald, plum, or rose gold
Yellow Bridesmaids → Blue, lilac, green, pink, or gold
Blush Pink Bridesmaids → Mauve, champagne, silver, sage green, or soft gray
Chocolate or Espresso Brown Bridesmaids → Champagne, gold, bronze, dusty blue, sage green, or deep plum
Navy Bridesmaids → Silver, slate blue, blush, or metallic gold
Terracotta Bridesmaids → Bronze, champagne, mocha, or deep olive
Black or Gray Bridesmaids → Emerald, sapphire, silver, gold, or wine
The most flattering mother-of-the-occasion dresses complement the wedding palette without blending in completely. Rich neutrals, soft metallics, and sophisticated jewel tones are always beautiful choices.
