Is ivory a good color for "mother-of-the-bride" dresses?

Answer by  Pineapple7 (260)

Ivory isn't the best choice for a mother-of-the-bride dress because it's a shade too close to white and the bride should be the center of attention, not you.

The mother-of-the-bride certainly deserves her own recognition and "shining moment" during the wedding but it's important to remember the coordination of the wedding attire is the choice of the bride. Therefore, the mother should coordinate her attire to appropriately blend with the bride's chosen color scheme so as not to upstage the bride.

The color of the mother of the bride dress is generally best left up to the bride. Ivory is good because it allows you to be formal without standing out.
