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!
