Grey Lace Sheath Dress for a Wedding Guest or Mother of the Bride

Dress: Illusion Yoke Sheath Dress by Tadashi Shoji in Ash Grey | Earrings: ‘Zena’ Drop Earrings by Kendra Scott from Nordstrom  | Bracelet: Double Row Imitation Pearl and Crystal Bracelet by Nadri from Nordstrom | Perfume: Gucci Bamboo Eau de Parfum Spray | Clutch: Alhambra Clutch in Hematite from Nordstrom|  Pumps:  Ossie d’Orsay Pump by Imagine Vince Camuto from Nordstrom | Lipstick: ‘Vice’ Lipstick in Alpha by Urban Decay

Gray Short Length Lace Dress for the Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom

Silver or gray is a classic color for instant elegance, making it a favorite for Mothers-of-the-Bride, and and as long as the grey isn’t too pale, well-heeled wedding guests. This gray lace sheath dress is a tailored style with exquisite lace detail that accents the clean and flattering silhouette of this dress – it’s a classic look!

To let the detail in the lace stand out, I’ve chosen understated accessories in similar neutral metallic tones –  with a pearl bracelet and mother of pearl earrings, along with subtle metallic details in the clutch and pumps.

Dark Gray Lace Cocktail Dress for a Wedding Guest

While this look was primarily created for a mother of the bride seeking a polished cocktail length dress, this dress could just as easily be worn by wedding guest for a more-than appropriate wedding look.  When looking at gray dresses for a wedding guest, just be sure to stick to the dark grey or beige “smoked oyster” color , and avoid anything too light or ivory. (See more gray dress pick here, if you like!)

My own fall wedding guest dress hunt has has me eyeing a lace cocktail dress like this, and as far as I can tell on my screen, these deep ash gray tones are a lovely tone for fall! I may try this dress myself for a wedding I’m attending in late September.

If you’re seeking more mother of the bride dresses in this length and in a neutral grey shade like this, I’ve selected a few more below, and I’m working behind the scenes on restocking some of our shop by color options!
