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?
I’m currently struggling helping my mom select a MOB dress. She tried one on that she likes—but it’s champagne and seems really light, almost ivory. Her dress is in no way “bridal” in fit but I’m not sure if I’m sold on color.
I believe, unless it’s explicitly stated by the bride, it is isn’t proper to wear white, nude or ivory to a wedding as it detracts from the bride.
As a guest and as a bride— would you take a second look at the MOB wearing champagne?
Edit: Here is an example of the color of the dress compared to white fabric: https://imgur.com/gallery/H2sfILo
Is it shorter than full length? Is it matronly in other styling aspects? Is it marketed as a MOB dress? I doubt a dress marketed as MOB would be so light as to dissuade people from buying it for risk of looking white. Plus there is a decent chance the website photos make the dress look paler than it will in person/actually on your mom.
Maybe I'm more laid back as a bride than others, but if i were you, and the dress in no way looks bridal and is otherwise appropriate for the season/venue/formality of the event, I would be perfectly fine with it. As a guest I wouldn't notice, and if I did, I'd assume the bride gave the greenlight unless I could visibly see some tension between bride and mom.
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.
