A great rule of thumb for finding best color is to consult the bride for inspiration and direction, as it relates to the wedding theme and colors. Some couples may ask their parents to coordinate with the wedding party, so make sure you check with the couple before you start shopping.

Colors a Mother of the Groom Should NOT Wear
It’s best to avoid wearing white or any color that resembles the bride's wedding outfit.
You may also want to steer clear of blush, beige, or other light neutral tones that may appear lighter on camera.
Skip black or white, unless the bride and groom have requested it.
And do not match the bridal party colors unless requested to do so.

Should the mother of the bride and mother of the groom wear different colors?
Generally yes.

Open communication is key to nailing the color selection.
If the mother of the bride is matching the bridesmaids' color palette, the bride and groom might request the mother of the groom to also match.
But if no one has asked the mother of the groom to match the bridal party, it's best to choose a different color, but not one that clashes.
Wearing variations of the same color that coordinate with the rest of the wedding party is a great way to complement the color scheme without being too matchy-matchy.
The moms can also differentiate their looks with jewelry, shoes, as well as their hair and makeup.

When should I start shopping for my mother of the groom outfit?
To be on the safe side, we suggest that you start shopping for your dress six months before the wedding. This ensures that everyone has plenty of stress-free time to have alterations made if necessary.

As you’re shopping, keep in mind the wedding venue, color palette, and dress code. Mid-length to floor-length gowns in dark or jewel tones are almost always appropriate for formal weddings held in the fall or winter, while shorter dresses in bright or pastel colors work well for a more casual wedding. Wrap silhouettes are flattering on nearly any and all body types, along with a tasteful V-shaped neckline to help elongate the silhouette.
