MOB Dresses in Jewel Tones

From traditional bright green green lace mother of the bride dresses to va-va voom sapphire blue sheaths, we’ve circular up some of well known dresses for the MOB and MOG. The best thing about jewel tones? There is one out there for everybody. And particularly for women with greyish hair, jewel tones make your entire face light up. Let’s start with amethyst. This elegant and noble color goes with a wide variety of color palettes (not that you have to match the marriage ceremony, but you also don’t want to clash). It’s also an excellent option for ladies who aren’t 100% comfortable with color.

If you would normally purchase a Floor Length Chiffon Princess Mother Of The Bride Dress, but don’t want to wear black to your child’s wedding, amethyst is the perfect color for you. Black shades are just as complementary as black provided you stick to one color. Ruby and garnet gowns are terrific sources of the more color-confident woman. Remember that red is really eye-catching, and you don’t want to be accused of trying to take attention away from the bride. Dark rubies and garnets are red’s sophisticated and conservative uncle. Fantastic for an event in which you want to look your best, but not put on a show. Sapphire is such a luminous shade of blue, which is why I love the gown above. The fabric’s sheen provides dress a total sparkle, and the lace-topped bodice and back of the shirt is perfect for a girl who wants to be more covered up. Ever since I saw this dress I keep thinking how terrific Diane Keaton would try it!

 When wearing sapphire as the mother of the bride or lick, balance out the purity with the silhouette. For example, this deeper sapphire (above) complements this slightly sexy sheath (you rock it, mama), whereas this more vibrant shade (below) keeps a basic silhouette from being overly matronly. There is a reason that bright green green was the color of the year in 2013. It’s freaking gorgeous (and looks especially amazing on include those with hazel eyes and/or red hair). When wearing such a strong shade, you don’t need to decorate a ton–keep it simple and refined. As with any dress, play up what you love and disguise what you don’t. Have amazing arms, but not gets interested your abs? Go for a sleeveless dress with an interesting neckline, and an empire middle (above, right). Long and lean? Add shape to your figure with a middle detail, but present your height in a sheath silhouette (below).
