Black MOB Dress?
Hi Everyone!
I went with my mom today to shop for a dress and she really liked a black dress. I like it as well but she doesn't know if it's appropriate to wear black as the mother of the bride. I told her I would rather have her in a black dress that she loves than a colored dress she doesn't. Do you guys think black is okay for a MOB?

If you are ok with it then go for it. I like black and anything goes now anyway!

Re: Black MOB Dress?
i think she should wear whatever she wants to-- Black is an elegant color--- i told my mom the same-- and she ultimately chose black and eggplant

Re: Black MOB Dress?
Is it an evening wedding?
My mom wore black and I was furious because I asked her specifically not to wear black, but if you and she agree that it than I say go for it. It's for you to decide.

Re: Black MOB Dress?
I say if she feels comfortable in it and you don't mnd her wearing black then wear it away and wear it well!

Re: Black MOB Dress?
FMIL is planning on wearing black.
I just want everyone to be comfortable and have a good time.
I think as long as you are ok with it - go for it!

Re: Black MOB Dress?
If you're okay with it, then it's fine.
My mom likes black as well, but figured since our wedding is in December, most of our guests will be in black and she wanted to stand out.
good luck!

Re: Black MOB Dress?
As long as she doesn't tell people she wants to wear black because "she's losing her little girl" - like FMIL  - I don't see an issue.
