Our Favorite Gold and Neutral Dresses for the Mother of the Bride
Here are a few favorite gold and neutral mother-of-the-bride gowns and dresses, with a direct link to the shop where the dress can be purchased. If you're still looking for more ideas, check out our ShopMy picks with more neutral dresses, including some designer styles.
Sequin Flutter Sleeve Gown
This pretty beaded style brings the sparkle. We get a lot of requests for short-sleeve dresses and unique styles with plenty of sparkle. This dress by Mac Duggal does just that!
Stretch Satin Off-the-Shoulder Golden Gown
This Off-the-shoulder stretch Satin Gown by Teri Jon cuts a classic and sleek figure.
Champagne Sequin Gown with Short Sleeves
If you want any kind of beading or sequins, we love the dresses from Adrianna Papell. They now have a Legacy Collection, which includes classic sequin dresses that we've been in love with and have been featuring for years. They simply do not go out of style! If you're looking for a gown you'll feel great in and never tire of looking at the pictures, this one might be it! This is the Scoop Back Sequin Gown in Champagne.
Short Neutral Mother of the Bride Dress with Sleeves
There's no rule that says the Mothers in a wedding have to wear a long gown unless perhaps it's a black tie or a very formal wedding. For small weddings, daytime weddings, or warm weather weddings a below-the-knee, tea length or other short dress can be a great idea. We think this neutral lace and beaded cocktail dress by Mac Duggal is a wonderful example. See more of our picks for Short Neutral Mother of the Bride Dresses.
Designer Metallic Shimmer Gown
We have recently become completely smitten with dresses by this brand - Sachin+ Babi. They offer the kind of tasteful high-quality gowns that are the gold standard of what a mother of the bride could wish for a gown to be. This brand effortlessly combines silhouettes that will never go out of style with rich colors and subtle, modern details.
More Neutral Mother of the Bride Outfit Ideas
If you are looking for other colors that can also be considered "neutral," we also love dresses in navy blue, silver or gray, black, and even shades of blush that can be considered neutral tones. If none of these gowns were a fit, you may want to see more mother-of-the-bride dresses organized by color for ideas.
