3 Best Spring Colors for Mother of the Bride Gowns

So, if you’re out shopping for a mother-of-the-bride dress or a mother-of-the-groom gown for a spring wedding, here are three of the best colors for them to wear in a spring wedding. While these colors are predicted to be a hit for spring weddings, it’s still always necessary to go for the colors the mother of the bride or groom look and feel their best in.

Pink Mother of the Bride Dresses

As much as the Barbie movie phenomenon has pushed pink into the spotlight more than before, the color never goes out of place at a spring wedding. Even more so for mothers of the bride and groom during the wedding. Pink and its different intensities in tones are always on trend for a wedding, and definitely a color that mothers of the bride could wear on their daughter’s special day. Because we’re talking about a spring wedding, bold shades of pink from fuchsia to pastel pink or even a watercolor print in pink on sheer, light fabrics.

But wearing pink also goes beyond wearing it in the spring. Brighter and bolder pinks are on trend for a summer affair, while more muted and jewel-toned pinks are chic in the fall and winter. When you are a summer, fall or winter color season go for the respective pinks of your palette even for a spring wedding.

Accessories in contrasting colors or simple gold and silver jewelry can add oomph to the look. After all, some iconic fashion looks are known to be pink ones, and for mothers of the bride and groom, it’s a way to make a statement at the wedding.

Yellow for Mothers Dresses

In line with pink, shades of yellow are also great for spring wedding attire. Although the color can be a bit tricky to pull off, the key to wearing yellow to a spring wedding is wearing specific shades of it. Mothers of the bride or mothers of the groom can go for a softer tone like butter yellow – one of the colors predicted to be a trend in spring. Or they could also go for something a little more muted, like mustard, if the true yellow seems overwhelming.

Another trick to pulling off yellow at a spring wedding? Pairing it with neutral accessories. Is a yellow gown too bold for you? You can tone it down with browns, creams, and black for the clutch or shoes. Amp up the color by wearing gold or bronze jewelry or pair with silver jewelry as a contrasting accessory. In terms of contrast, amethyst or purple accessories can give an added punch of color.

Orange Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom Dress

Trending for spring are certain shades of orange, especially in spring weddings. Orange is a fun, zesty tone that’s always a mainstay for this bright season. Much like yellow, the way to pull off orange is to experiment with its various shades. Pair it with neutrals to make it more wearable if orange falls not into your personal color season palette.

One such shade that’s on trend for spring is clementine orange, as seen on the recent fashion week runways. Like the previous two colors, brighter and bolder shades of orange can be on trend for summer weddings, and more muted and rustier shades are chic for the colder seasons. Jewelry or accessories in neutral or contrasting colors, such as blues or sapphires, can amp up the look or make it more wearable.
