Please help my mom choose her mother of the bride dress! She is confused between the pink and champagne dresses. They both have to be altered but we don’t know which looks better overall. Any input would be appreciated!!
the champagne one is much more flattering, but i do want to caution you that it may photograph very very pale! if i saw a MOB In this color while scrolling through Facebook (and without context), I would assume she’s trying to compete with the bride

How do you feel about Mother of the Bride/Groom dress colors that are champagne in color?
I'm very relaxed about these things and if my mum was happy, I'd be happy.
That said, if you're uncomfortable with her wearing champagne, then that is a good enough reason to keep on looking for something that will be better suited for both of you.

Mother of the bride doens't need to match. I've attended a lot of weddings and never has the MOB matched the bridesmaids. The rule of thumb is typically the MOB is the second best dressed woman at the wedding, but really she should wear a color she likes that compliments the bridesmaids dresses. The dusty blue color looks really good on her, or if she doesn't feel confident in them, look for something else.

My mother-in-law is currently dress shopping for my and my fiancés wedding and she mentioned that one of her options is a champagne dress.
I always thought it was a no-no to wear white, ivory, off-white, and champagne to a wedding because you don’t want to draw attention away from the bride. I feel like that is something everyone knows, but maybe not? My MIL has never said or done anything to make me feel like she doesn’t like me, so maybe she doesn’t know?
Now, my dress is ivory (off-white), so I REALLY don’t want someone in another off-white colour (like champagne). I’m not sure if I should talk to her or ask my fiancé to.
Am I being unreasonable by not wanting my MIL to wear champagne to my and my fiancé’s wedding?
