After colour advice for mums outfits? getting married next year our colours...

We didn't stipulate what colours the mums could wear, they have to feel comfortable too, they chose their own outfits x

Agree with above, don’t think it’s hugely important for them to match. My colour scheme was Hunter green and navy and the mums wore pink and purple x

Letting my mum, step mum and MIL to be chose their own. Don’t think they need to match the bridesmaids x

That’s the one thing you can’t control what guests wear colour scheme wise. They arnt bridesmaids or matron of honour so they don’t have to match

If you want them to blend, how about a real dark purple, like aubergine? It can be as dark as black but has that blue element. Gray or silver/gold could compliment.

They could wear a flower or ribbon that has that colour tied in with it

I'm the same as you, I have a thing about colour, always have and really want the mums to tie in to the colour scheme!!! We are going for a spring brights colour scheme so have given them a colour pallette and told them I would like them to wear one of those colours. If its important to you just tell them I say 🤣🤣

Let them wear what they want you want them to be comfortable le on the day as well. It's a big day for them, don't make them feel pressured into wearing something they wouldn't normally.

Let her wear blue!!

My mum wore a mustard colour so she clashed with everyone, try not to worry about what other people wear, my father-in-law 's comment about my mum's outfit was "I wanted a car in that colour" it is a lovely memory that has lasted almost 30 years 😁

You cannot make the guests parent or not dress to your colour scheme

I let mine choose but they chose complimentary colours. Our colours were blue, burgundy and rose gold. My mum wore silver (she was giving me away), my stepmum wore navy, and my husbands honorary mum (his real mum isn’t with us) wore dusky pink x

We had ivory and Cadbury purple too! I let MIL choose her own, she wore a light green and it didn’t clash. Everyone tied in from the flowers we gave them to wear. I wish my mum could have been there, she passed away a few years before the wedding. Honestly, just to have had her there, she could have worn a bin bag for all I care!
If you really want them to match though, ask them to include purple in their outfit.

I had the same colour scheme, my mum wore navy and his mum wore a pale silver both looked great with the colour scheme 🙂 x

I’d say if they don’t want to wear Cadbury purple they could go for another shade of purple or a navy, those would be fine! As part of the wedding party who are going to be in the most photos I don’t think you’re being unreasonable wanting them to match - just don’t be too prescriptive because it might be hard for them to find anything in one set colour.

We hinted to guests we’d rather they wear black, dark colours or metallics - most people did this or wore pastels, nothing bright.... except for my father in laws new girlfriend who turned up in bright fuchsia.... needless to say I did not ask for her to be in many photos!! 🙄

A bluey purple like lavender for 1 and dark purple for the other?

My first wedding the bridesmaids wore royal blue. My mum wore purple and MIL wore a peachy/pink colour, Second wedding bridesmaid wore a scarlet red dress and mum wore a navy and purple outfit. Maybe I'm too laid back but I couldn't have cared less what colour of outfits guests wore and would never have dictated on a scheme.

my sisters bridesmaids colour was purple and my mum wore sky blue and looked amazing!
