Tips To Find The Perfect Mother Of Groom Dress
We all know that the bride must never be trumped with a wedding party member’s attire! In traditional wedding etiquette with regard to dress, the mother of the groom defers to the mother of the bride, relative to styles, cuts and colors. For example, if the bride’s Mom chooses a nice pale blue wool suit in a classic cut, you’ll want to choose a mother of groom dress in a similar style, without looking like a duplicate. In other words, maybe a peach linen suit might work well.
Similarly, if the mother of the bride opts for a long formal dress, coordinate your choice from selections of long dresses of approximately the same formality.
If the bridesmaids are wearing different pastel shades of the same cut of dress, try to avoid matching your dress to these colors. In such situations a deeper shade may be your best bet.
Traditional wedding etiquette generally frowns on wedding party members wearing anything white, cream or beige. Again, these colors might compete with the bride. Unless the bride indicates she welcomes any of these colors, avoid them!
