That sounds like fun. I promised the bride I wouldn't wear black, and it was
something I regretted as most of my nicer stuff is black. Except for a pretty
dress I picked up cheap - it's white. Also out. I showed my son one outfit and
he thought it was too matronly (nevermind guess that I am
Lace perhaps, but Not Beige. Leaning toward a 30s formal inspired dress.

I thought that was the comment for the mother of the groom - show up, shut up,
and wear beige. I'm a rapidly greying blonde with pale skin, and in beige I'd
be almost invisible. Which perhaps is the point.Susan

Who follows these antiquated guidelines? And the insults they portray?! The
Dream may be the bride's but the occasion is also with expectations of
celebration for the mother's who get to be Themselves. Harmony and affinity for
the occasion seems to me to allow whatever one chooses. For daughter
Actually, a dear friend of mine's mother-in-law chose a beige dress for another
of her children's weddings. And beige was just about the least flattering color
I could imagine for the dear lady. She may have been of a generation where she
took such advice seriously.

My daughter has requested that all of her wedding party, including the mothers
of the bride and groom, wear black. The mothers will also be wearing tiaras.

Hard to decide which is worse--black or beige. I like COLOR!!! Never could see
the appeal of black. But the tiaras are cool.

The mother of the bride wears beige and keeps quiet. But I would think another
color would be more fun.

Was at a 20s/30s wedding in June past...The 'other women' of the wedding party
all wore shades of beige silk and lace...including mothers and grandmother.
The BMs had different styles (kneeish) Quite a lovely affair.
