My girls are in short dresses.
My mom bought a long dress, FMIL hasn't bought anything yet. And my mom and grandmother both bought two dresses! One for the ceremony and one for the reception. In fact, my grandmother is wearing a short dress to the reception and I don't think I've ever seen her in a short dress!
I don't think it'll matter much, to be honest. I'm more worried about my FMIL buying something really bright! She likes fuscia and aqua a lot lot.
do most brides dress their mothers? i can't imagine trying to pick out a dress for my mother, much less a dress for my FMIL. Do they have to match the bridesmaids?
I don't think that brides dress the mothers, per se, but I think typically there are just some general guidelines. I could be wrong. Some common rules/whatever are for them to not wear the same dress, not wear the bridesmaids' dress, not wear the same color as the bridesmaids, not wear white, and perhaps even not wear the same color. I think I covered all the bases.
My MOH is in a long dress, my mom is in a short dress and my FMIL is in a long dress...and I don't mind a bit ;) both the MOB and MOG dresses have jackets are are cute but very age appropriate as well. I wanted them to feel comforable. They *did* make sure the colors complimented though as well as the styles
I don't think it's silly if your FMIL wears a short dress.. june in GA is gonna be hot! :)
My mom is wearing a short dress most likely, and FMIL probably will just so she can dance. She is serious about dancing apparently! The BMs will be wearing short dresses too!
True.dat. I guess she'll be the only one not sweating her nose off, since we're all long. :p
My BMs are wearing long dresses, so im hoping my mom and my fmil will wear short dresses. i dont want them to match the wedding party, but i dont really care if they do. My only rule for their clothing was "No white, off-white, ivory, eggshell, champagne, or any other shade of those colors." :)
yeah i think its totally fine if your mom is in a long dress and FMIL is in a short dress. no worries!! whatever is comfortable for her :)
My BM's are wearing tea length dresses. My FI mom is wearing a dress to her knees and my mom is wearing dress pants and a dressy/fancy top. It really depends on body types and what people are comfortable wearing.
My bridesmaids and both Moms are wearing short dresses.
Both of them are driving me crazy, though. FI's Mom wants to wear flat sandals and a navy blue dress with long sleeves? Our colors are all pastel. My Mom cannot decide and is emailing me a different dress every day. GRR.
My BMs and my mom will be wearing a short dress. My FMIL will be wearing a long dress. I think it will look fine.
My bridesmaids are wearing short dresses and the moms are both wearing long dresses. I had no idea if there were any sort of rules/guidelines for this...I just knew both moms wanted long dresses.
As for colors, my bridesmaids are wearing bright pink/watermelon and my mom is wearing a clover green. I think that complements nicely. His mom is wearing salmon. I have no idea how that fits in, but who cares ;op
My bridesmaids are in long dresses, but my mom is very petite and wanted to wear a short dress. I wanted her to be comfortable so I don't really care what she wears. The other two moms (my stepmom and FMIL) will be wearing long dresses because that's what they're comfortable in.
I picked short dresses for the BMs because it's too hot in August for long dresses. I'm not even wearing a long dress. I told my mom and FMIL they can wear whatever they want and they decided to pick out short dresses for the same reason.
My mom is wearing a teal knee lenght dress that id really beautiful. I don't know about my mother in law yet. I think the most important thing is that they wear something that flows with the wedding. I went to a wedding where the MOB was wearing a bright pink short dress and the MOG a long lacy brown dress!!!
I don't have to worry about this one, luckily. Winter wedding = ALL long dresses!
bridesmaids in long dresses, mothers in pants *gasp* ! Both of our moms are "plus size" and they both said that they would prefer to wear pants. Honestly, there aren't many options for plus sized MOB/MOG unless they are these overly flowy/ snuggie like dresses... neither the FMIL or Mama wanted to wear that stuff and I don't blame them! They will rock some pants at the wedding:]
We're having a pretty casual and rustic outdoor wedding so everyone is wearing a short dress and everyone is picking out their own. The bridesmaids are going to wear whatever they want within a certain color family (probably somewhere between dark fuschia and plum) and the mothers can wear whatever they want within the color palette.
My mom wants to wear this:

I'm just curious as to how everybody else is dressing the mothers as compared to each other and to the bridesmaids! This is a length question rather than a color question, but feel free to share how you're handling that as well!
The bridesmaids will be wearing long dresses, my mother will be wearing a long dress, but Mr. Scissors' mother's dress isn't decided yet. I just don't know if it would look silly or strange with one short dress. :p
