Teacher27 - While I'm sure the ivory dress you wore to her first wedding would still be appropriate in style, she may not want you wearing the same outfit. You should ask about her feelings on the subject, and there may be a way the dress can be easily accessorized or altered -- adding a wrap or adjusting the hem, for example -- that could make it seem very different without costing much for the changes.

My daughter is getting married for the second time. I wore a beautiful ivory colored dress to the first wedding which I spent a lot of money on. Would it be ok to wear it to her second wedding?

Hi Robin,

I would suggest visiting the David's Bridal website and using their 'Dress my Wedding' tool. You can choose a virtual model with your hair color and skin tone, and try on various dress colors next to a virtual bridesmaid in a watermelon gown to see what might blend well. Other shades of green, such as a mint or a lime green may work well with your hair and eyes and still complement the wedding color. Medium shades of blue may also work. Good luck!

My daughter is getting married in August of 09. The color for the wedding is watermelon. My hair color is an ash blond and I have green eyes. My oldest daughter was married last year and I wore a sage green gown. I don't want to wear the same color. Could you help me?

Cameo - While the mothers' attire should coordinate, there is no reason they can't wear dissimilar outfits such as one wearing a skirt and the other wearing slacks. Be sure the colors are similar to one another or in the same color family that coordintes with the bridesmaid colors and there won't be any problem.

Marion - A sundress or summer dress style with a hint of navy in it would be lovely and would coordinate well with the bridal colors. Be sure the dress is not too long, otherwise it may be uncomfortable on the beach.

I am having trouble with helping the mothers find coordinating dresses! The bridesmaid colors are yellow with white sash, and the groomsmen, traditional tux with yellow ties and silver vests. What can they both wear that will complement the wedding party as well as eachother? Also, I think the MOB wants a dress and MOG wants to wear pants or a long dress/skirt. Will this look out of place if they "both" dont wear pants or skirt? Thank you!!

Sheila - Your dress should coordinate with the mother of the groom's dress, but they don't necessarily need to be the same length. Choose a dress you're comfortable with and that is stylish for you, and enjoy yourself.

I am shopping for a MOB dress for myself, I had intended on going with a long dress that goes along with my daughter's wedding. The MOG has decided that she would like a dress that is something she can wear more than once, I understand. My dilemna is, should our dresses be the same length? Does that mean I should change my length since she is wanting to wear a short dress?
