Mother of the Bride Dresses by Color

Sequined and Metallic

Sequined and metallic MOB dresses can be especially perfect for evening, or black tie weddings, however, it's fine to wear one of these sparkling dresses any time. It's a great way to wear one of the wedding's theme colors in a glitzy way!

Silver and Grey 

Silver and grey are wonderfully cool and neutral colors that can go with almost any wedding party color scheme. From gunmetal gray to ice-blue silver gowns these shades of dresses are some of our favorites! They look great in summer, spring, and winter weddings. See all our picks for Silver and Gray Mother of the Bride Dresses.

Gold and Neutral 

If a warmer gold or neutral is the color you're after, this shade too will blend in with so many other wedding party attire colors. Choose gold sequins for heavy-hitting glamour, or a subtle taupe or champagne. Any way you go, the result is sure to be timeless!

Red and Burgundy

Red and burgundy tones are perfect for fall weddings, and winter weddings, especially over the holidays. The raspberry and magenta colors in this range can work for spring and summer weddings too!

Pink and Blush

Pink or blush are ideal colors for mothers in a wedding. Shades of pink, rose, mauve or even coral are particularly wonderful for warm weather seasons like spring and summer and for cheerful daytime weddings. Truly we think pink and blush is a classic color choice for a wedding of any season, and blends with so many wedding party attire colors quite easily.

Coral and Peach

We love coral and peach for beachy destination weddings, boho desert weddings, spring and summer weddings, early fall, or just in for weddings in general! If bright corals are muted peaches are your color, you might like these gowns!

Yellow

Under the general color of yellow, a dress can be anything from a deep marigold or mustard to and pale butter yellow. As such we love this color for spring and summer weddings, and early fall events as well! A yellow dress or suit can be a lovely look for daytime, while gold and deep yellow bring more glamour for the evening.

Green

Green is a beautiful dress color no matter what the season. A pale or mint green can be an absolutely beautiful shade for spring and summer weddings, while deeper emerald and hunter green colors can be a beautiful choice for a fall or winter wedding.

Light Blue 

We think light blue is one of the most classic colors out there for mother-of-the-bride dresses. From a seafoam blue-green, to a pale dusty blue, to pale blue that edges on silver, you can't go wrong with a light blue dress or gown!

Dark Blue and Navy

Navy blue is a seasonless classic color for weddings. This color can look beautiful next to lighter colors in a spring wedding, appear nautical and summery, or add some depth to the harvest and jewel tone colors we see in fall. Here are some gorgeous navy blue gowns and dresses for you to consider.

Purple

Purple is often an underlooked shade when it comes to dresses, but we love it. Imagine how pretty a lavender gown would look as a spring or summer mother-of-the-bride dress. For fall and winter turn to the deeper aubergine, plum, dark mauves, and berry ranges for a great look.

Black 

We think black is not totally off-limits for a mother-of-the-bride dress -- you just know how to pick them! When choosing a gown, just aim away from somber by adding sparkle, a lace overlay, or other embellishments An elegant black gown is a staple for black tie weddings in the fall and winter. To keep it light, try florals or prints against a black background. Even with these rules black is best for evening and cooler months. If a dark color is a must for you but it's a daytime or summer season wedding, we suggest navy or a charcoal gray.

Floral

Floral mother-of-the-bride dresses are amazing because the right pattern can bring together several of the colors in the wedding color scheme. In addition, the visual interest that a floral pattern creates makes for stand-out style!
