I think it's fine that they'll both be in black and white! They're definitely different enough that it shouldn't really be an issue. 
Maybe you could make the mother flowers DIFFERENT colors to highlight the uniqueness of both moms?

I think it's perfectly fine. I'm sure they'll get some funny comments about you forcing them to wear uniforms or something like that, but if they will both look lovely, that's what counts!
What a great idea! Maybe I could do different shades of yellow flowers for them. I think when I tell FMIL I will make sure to sound excited that my Mom found a outfit in the same colors, so she won't feel like she is stepping on my Moms toes.
I think it's great that they are coordinating! I like it. My Fi's mom wanted to buy her dress after my mom's, too. They both got super bright dresses. My mom's is red and my FI's mom's is "lapis" which is like a royal blue with some purple in there. My BM"S are in champagnes, haha, so they'll all stand out!

I think they'll both look marvelous! As they're drastically different styles I don't see any issue at all. I love the idea of doing flowers that are unique to each of them - maybe even going so far as to vary the arrangement type - perhaps a corsage for your mom and a wristlet for his.
i think it is not only perfectly fine - but great. they will look ab fab!
my FMIL asked for a pic of my mom's dress, and i sent it to her letting her know that i can't guarantee that my mom won't change her mind before the wedding, but this is what she is has for now. trust me, my mom will probably buy two more dresses before i get married (and it is coming up this june).
but - my mom and FMIL have two totally different shapes and styles. even if they wore the same dress it would look totally different on them.

Yeah they def look great in their own way...very different even though both black and white. Both ladies will look great. BTW...the FMIL's dress is beautiful...very nice! I like them both.
I love your FMIL's dress! She also sounds like she will be really supportive! I'm sure your MIL will be fine as long as she knows that you are not upset with her, and that she gave your mom every opportunity to prevent this situation (which won't look bad at all, since the dresses are very different as the above posters noted)

I need some advice on how to handle this.
My FMIL has been very nice throughout this wedding planning process. She does whatever her mother of the groom book has asked her to do. So, she asked me thousands of times what my Mom was going to wear for the wedding, so she would do as ettiquette suggests and buy her dress after my Mom.
Well, my Mom doesn't care about ettiquette. This "wedding ettiquette" stuff was not taught in my family, and they really could care less. My Mom has sent me five or six different outfits. We went shopping and she bought something but then decided she hated it.
So I told my FMIL do not wait on my Mom she changes her mind constantly and she should just find something she loves. I emailed her a few ideas and a picture of one of the dresses my Mom was leaning towards.
Now, my FMIL bought a fantastic dress. The funny thing it, is a dress my Mom tried on and I wanted her to get but she didn't like it!!!
So I told my Mom what FMIL bought so she would know, and it turns out my Mom ordered her outfit without letting me know. So they both bought black and white dresses, ugh!!!!
My FMIL thougth My Mom was getting a yellow dress, so she bought a black and white dress. My Mom went with a white suit jacket and long black skirt. When I told my Mom I could tell she was a bit annoyed that they have similiar outfits. I haven't told my FMIL yet about my Mom's outfit, because I really like what she bought and I know she will look great. I just know that she will worry about upstaging my Mom.
What would you do?
Here is the dress my FMIL bought: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3015620/0~2376776~2374327~2374331~6014150?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6014150&P=3
Here is the style outfit my Mom bought (imagine long black skirt):

I think they both will look nice, is it ok that they are both in black/white outfits? I'll give them both yellow corsages. I just wish I could get one of you ladies to sub in for me one day and tell my FMIL about this
