Mrs. M asked:
My mom and my fiance mom wants to know what color they should get for their dress. I have no idea so i’m turning to yahoo answers!
My wedding is June 15, 2008. its an outside ceremony. Our colors are dark red (cranberry) and dark blue (navy blue).
Any links to dresses also that you would suggest? My mom wants sleeveless and my future mother in law doesnt really like dresses but is willing to wear one. My mom is plus size-size 18 and his mom is TALL, 5′11 and probaly a size 10.
Any Suggestions?

Thanks everyone for all your help! I’m getting so much more for our wedding then I would be alone!
I do know that our wedding colors are dark for june but we have decided those would be our colors regardless of the season.
I told her to wear a pant suit and she said “your mom is wearing a dress and I think it would be better if i wore a dress” but i told her it would really be fine.
have your mother wear the cranberry color dress, and your mother in law wear a navy dress. I am sure that the navy dress can be something simple and comfortable. I think that the cranberry dress would be more available in a size 18 than a navy dress. Congratulations on your wedding.
Congrats! Just make sure their dresses does not outshine you since you want the focus on you and your future husband. My auntie wore a bright pink dress to her daughter’s wedding and I thought it was quite tasteless as she made herself look more of a bridesmaid than a mum. How about a lemony colour! Good luck.
in all honesty, cranberry and navy are kind of dark colors for a June wedding – why not have your mom and mother in law in complimentary shades lighter than the bridesmaids – like maybe lighter blue or baby blue or lighter shade of cranberry
The bride’s mom should choose first, and can pick anything but white. Then the groom’s mom should pick. I wouldn’t have anything coordinating because you don’t want them to look like bridesmaids. There are tons of tasteful outfits for mothers. Let them decide and trust their judgement. People will be looking at you not them so no worries.
By convention, no-one should wear white (or even cream). They should wear what feels comfortable to them (it will be a looooong, but beautiful day for everyone!). As someone who also really is not a dress gal (workplace=suits), I can sympathise with future mother-in-law- so why not allow her to wear a pant suit where the jacket is longer? Colours are lovely, and they should be able to fit in with your colour scheme (even pastel versions??). It IS your day, but it is also a day for celebration of family, and will be something that you remember forever (well remember ours, 26 years ago!). So it is worth spending time making sure everyone is happy with format (dresses vs suits) and colours. Congratulations, and have a lovely day!!
David’s Bridal is my favorite….I used them for my entire wedding.
This is a tea length dress in cranberry avaible sizes 2-26 both cranberry and navy. They also have a floor length one depending on the formality and personal preference.
This is available in about 30 colors sizes 2-30
If they would prefer add a wrap to match the color of the dress or add a cranberry wrap with a navy dress.
