What is you Mother wearing????

No idea, she can wear what she likes! im not about to dictate to her what she can and cant wear, id get a slap round the ears if i did!

Shes knwos the colour scheme and what dad will be wearing, and i dont mind if she wears the same as the Bms , as long as shes comfortable thats the most important!

I know some people like all members of the bridal party to fit in with the colour scheme but I really don't care what anyone wears, as long as they are happy. I am going shopping with my mum for her outfit (she asked me too) but I certainly wouldn't say 'you can wear these colours, but not those colours.' My mum's dress sense can be quite unusual but I personally think she looks great in her own style. I'm kind of expecting something multi-coloured...

We have a red and Navy colour scheme so I have asked her not to wear Lime Green or Cerise as I feel it will clash, saying that if she loved something which was that colour, I wouldn't stop her, i'd just prefer if she didn't...

As she said, if she clashes in the photo's we can just have them all in Black and white.

Mums wearing a coffee coloured dress - it cost more than my wedding dress!

I have told mine the colour scheme, but she can wear what she likes really as long as it not too revealing ?

My bridesmaids will be in sage green and I have accents of dusky pink aswell as me in ivory.

My Mum bought her outfit the month after we got engaged, think she was after an excuse to go shopping - And chose this:

My mom is wearing a white/grey/black dress (flowery) with a turqoise bolero jacket and fascinator to match. Sticking along the teal/turqoise theme i suppose, but i looks lovely together. Not sure what OH's mom is wearing, lets hope its not the same colour.?

My mum has got four different outfits that she will change into as the day goes on, she doesnt do things by half! I didnt tell her she had to match my colour scheme but by chance she does!! I dont think it really matters if your mum is in the wedding colours or not!

I hadn't really thought about clashing with the BMs, but I'm not going to limit her choices of outfit on this basis - I just want her to feel that she looks amazing on the day!

Its too early to have looked for her outfits yet, but if I know her as well as I think I do I reckon she'll go for either a teal green or fuscia pink. And if I stick to my current colour scheme of navy & light blues, it should tie in nicely!

My mum is wearing a long dress and jacket, the jacket is the same colour as the wedding theme and bridesmaids.

I told her she could wear whatever she wanted provided it wasn't ivory or clashed with the bridesmaids.

Bridebrat - love your mums dress! I will just be happy if my mum turns up in a nice frock with no pony hair or smell!!!

My ma has designed her dress with the help of a seamstress. She's gone for a Grace Kelly inspired knee length dress with a 3/4 length sleeved jacket. It's aubergine and grey. I asked her to wear something she'd feel comfortable in. She's going to team it with some fab shoes, a statement hat and jewellery .

She has great taste and I'm sure she'll look beautiful.

My mum has chosen a black dress with lime green accents and a lime bolero. I've only seen the catalogue but it looks very nice, and she said she was very happy with it when it arrived.

Slightly unrelated, but why do "mother of the bride" collections all seem to use models who clearly aren't old enough to have a daughter old enough to be getting married?! I don't think I've seen a mother of the bride collection with a model over 35! (And that's being generous!) Example

My mother has visited shops so far & nothing has jumped out at her - Im takinga day off in a couple of weeks to go round them again & they should have all their new collections by then...

Im dreading it - she's gonna be harder than me to get dressed - I only went to 4 shops (albeit 2 twice) and had my dress ordered within 45 min - didnt even try anything else on in the shop that day!

She quite likes the Ian Stuart stuff - so her outfit will probably cost more than my dress! LOL

But as for colour she isnt wearing the same. as bridesmaids....

Ahh, she looks fab Tricks!

I don't mind what my ma wears. She has already told me that nearer the time she'll have a chat with my MIL to find out what colour she would like to wear and go from there, so that they don't end up in the same colour. I thought that was really sweet of her.

My two daughters both got married two years ago and neither of themn dictated in any way what i ought to be wearing. As a ccourtesy I showed them my outfits beforehand and they liked them, but I would have been a bit miffed if they had started telling me what i should and shouldn't be wearing: happily they trust me. And one of the photos is now on my togs website as an example of a "stunning outfit", so it can't have been all bad.

My colour scheme is mainly purple so I suggested to my Mum she wear a nice teal/turquoise and my MIL2B Red, but MIL2B is not keen and is picking something else. My mum has picked this dress though (and I love it):

I dread to think what my mum will wear! She's not known for her fabulous dress sense, in fact she often goes out of her way to make people feel embarrassed to be seen with her.

I'll have to take her shopping, we'll get me and my mum, my sister & niece, OH's mum and sister and we'll have a girly day at Bluewater...

I think my MIL2B is wearing a purple-ish dress, and my mam is wearing black pants with a purple feather print top and white boucle jacket

I'm not sure what colour my Mum will wear but I know she wants knee length dress and a matching jacket. We are going to take a day off to go shopping together once the "summer collections" are out, just somewhere like Trafford Centre or similar. Mum's will defo be a high street number. She doesn't have much spare cash and I don't want her spending a fortune on an outfit she will prob never wear again!

MIL on the other hand!!!......she wore a £800 outfit for OH's brothers wedding and says she "has" to do the same for our wedding or it will be favouritism....WTF?! I've told her to wear what she wants/is comfy in.

MIL has asked a few times what my Mum is wearing, I think she wants to make sure their colours don't "clash" but I also think is being competitive....eg...why does she need to know how much my Mum is spending on her outfit?! Grrrr!!

My mum told me one day (not long after we set the date) that she'd got her outfit! I was really shocked as she hadnt even talked about even looking for an outfit! AND I hadnt even thought about going shopping for my dress at that point either!

My mums not the best with clothes but she chose this:

She's got the dress in the pic with the matching shoes and handbag (also in pic) and the same colour green jacket to go with it. She's also got the matching fascinator (but not the one in the pic).

She also has a 'reserve' outfit in case she doesnt lose enough weight to fit in the dress, which is a top and skirt set the colours of the scarf in the pic, so the jacket, shoes, bag and fascinator all go with it.

I was relieved to say the least when she showed me her outfit! Phew!

I forgot to add, my step mom has chosen her outfit:

Which I think is stunning, she is wearing Red/Coral shoes with it which she also has and was worried about the "red shoes, no knickers" comment of the olden times being aimed at her, especially as she is the "tained woman" with 70% of the guests for "stealling" my dad from my mom.... Could be interesting......

That dress is really lovely and very elegant.

Not sure what my mam will be wearing and will not be dictating any colours or styles. She has asked that I go shopping with her because she would like my "approval". If she's happy with the outfit, no doubt I will be happy. x

Oh Kayl I love that dress, do you know where it's from?

My mum is wearing a traditional Vietnamese dress for the day then changing into a grey evening dress of some kind. My OH's mum is wearing an Indian sari, she's not that fussed about clothes so don't think she'll think about colours etc which I don't really mind about anyway.

My Mum is wearing a black and white dress and black silk jacket. She was worried it would be too much black for May, but I've told her not to worry.

My mum fell in love with this 'John Charles' outfit and although my colour scheme is purple and ivory I wouldnt have dreamt of telling her what to wear and she looks absoloutly fab in it!!

This is it on the (very young!!) model

And on Mummy Fluffy (taken on phone and in the winter hence the boots lol) Very proud of her!!

And the very talented Sherrie made this beautiful wrist corsage for her

Great post, I've got more inspiration...lol..

My mum is wearing the same colour as the BM's, infact MIL to OH sister also have the colour in their dresses. I didnt tell them they had to but I do like the fact that they want the colours to look as though they all go.

This is what my mum is wearing. It has a leopard print which is great as I always wear it and OH says I am bet lynch! So thought it was only right that leopard print was represented at the wedding. What no one knows is that mu hen dress is a similar pattern (although pink instead of raspberry) so for those on the hen they will realise on the day that I have tied in with my mum. This wasnt planned but is kinda nice in an overly fluffy kinda way.

She got it from Monsoon, I think it was half price at £50, which is a complete bargain!!
