Hello!
Today we are talking about clothes for the mother of the groom who plays a role as the real protagonist during the wedding, that is to say, accompanying her son to the altar!

According to the rules of the etiquette, it is a good practice for the mother-in-law to purchase the dress only after the mother of the bride has given her some information about her dress, so that she can harmonize the styles and adapt the lengths, but always without copying the look of the bride. For a very formal wedding, the dress code requires the choice of a long or tea dress.
It is good practice to discuss models among the direct interested parties or simply with the bride, to avoid wearing the same color or to prevent one of them from adopting a more casual or more elegant look than the other.
It is then up to the bride to communicate any requests about the vision of her day: if she prefers a color dictated by the theme of the wedding or if she prefers a particular type of dress.

What not to do
Always following the etiquette, the mother-in-law must never challenge the bride on color and elegance: this means that all shades of white, ivory and champagne are abolished, but also red, black (which recalls mourning) and overly bright colors, generally unsuitable after a certain age.
What is recommended
Pastel shades such as powder pink, peach pink, pale pink, lavender, celestial, sage green or mint green are preferable. If these tones turn out to be too queen Elizabeth you can opt for blue, grey, silver or burgundy.
