M y future daughter in Law called to tell me she finally found her dress! ivory with gold threads and beads the flower girl dress is ivory with gold embroidery on the skirt she want bluish turquoise for her bridesmaids. What color do I wear? I am at a loss here it it will not be a long dress more tea length,

What color do you look best in? That is what I would do. But find out what the other MIL will be wearing. My mom and my youngest sister's MIL wore the same dress to their kid's wedding! My mom looked fabulous and the other lady was just so-so. That might have something to do with her attitude, too. But my mom got hers in Alabama and the MIL got hers in Oregon. How weird is that?

I have no idea. I just wanted to say congratulations!!

so exciting congrats

I lean towards the same as the bridesmaids will be so have to lean the other way I have no idea what looks best on me!! Maybe I can hide under a table!!

I have Sons and DIL and DIL have Mothers, I was told (joke) that the MIL should wear beige.

WOO HOO Congrats ! When is the big day ?

As for what color to wear - ask what color her mother is wearing and if they want you to stick to colors of the wedding ? When my son got married their colors were Orange and yellow - her mom wore cream and I wore a light green .... and the kids were happy with our choices :thumbup:

I agree...ask the bride. Barring that, select a neutral color that won't overshadow either the bride or the mother of the bride... :) You don't want to match the bridemaids...

I may go with a pale blue the wedding is the end of may in Ohio. Her mom has no idea either we even looked when we were together! I will look with her again in 2 weeks. Maybe we can find something!

I heard that too! LOl Show up Shut up and wear beige but she calls me for advice all the time so that is not so easy. I am afraid the beautiful beige dress I already have is to close in color to her ivory gown so do not want to go there!!
