The mother is planning on wearing a black and white printed bolero jacket with black pants and camisole. It looks quite stunning but are the colors appropriate?

My friend's daughter is getting married next month and the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom are wearing black. It's going to be a stunning wedding.

Ok, I'm assuming your the mother...
A. I would normally say its an insult to wear black to a wedding... but I've read a few posts lately and some of the brides are even wearing black...
B. Keeping attention drawn to yourself (mother) is a complete NO-No... the whole point of the wedding is the ONE time in a girls life that she is the cinderella for the day. Haven't you ever noticed that bridesmaid growns are made ummm, pasty colored with alot of fabric around the top... I just assumed it was a given we didn't want peolple looking more at them then the bride...
C. In keeping with that note, I am just wondering if the contrast of your outfit against the wife-to-be would bring more eyes towards you than her? Especially if you look "stunning" in it.
As a Bride, I have no need for that much attention.. If it was my wedding I'd tell ya, go for it! You know the wife to be more than I do, and when I was young I may would have felt different. If she is shy and introverted you may not want to-then just find something pastel or pasty...

pass with the third gown. that is sounds relaxing and flirty. What do you mean by utilizing attractive? as long as you're actually not putting out of it, then that is super. attractive could nicely be stylish if executed top. i could have long gone with the gold, yet because of the fact that's the marriage colours i could stay away. As for the colour black; i've got worn black to the final 4 weddings i've got attended. that is in easy terms a shade. I extremely have never been spoken approximately badly, regarded at negatively or been asked to pass away. extremely, i've got gained the different reaction. I extremely have been complimented approximately how top up jointly I extremely have regarded. If I have been getting married, i could be indignant by utilizing somebody donning black. Black is a flattering shade. additionally, I comprehend that not all and sundry desires to or can take care of to pay for to purchase a sparkling outfit for my wedding ceremony or all and sundry elses. So, if a black gown is what's of their closet, then ok. as long because it desirable in that is type and not too showy, that is okay.

I think it is proper. My parents and my inlaws (including brother and sister in law) wear black outfits to my wedding. We suggested it actually. Our pictures are BEAUTIFUL! We wanted a black and white wedding to begin with... so when we decided to have our destination wedding... we still keep our theme. They loved it... because they didn't have to worry about wearing the wrong color. The whole black should be avoided because it looks sad or grim thing is ridiculous. Some of the most elegant and romantic weddings I've ever seen have been black and white.
But that is just my opinion.

I think it's great to a mexican showdown with Zorro! It's not the color, but wearing pants that is questionable. It sounds more like an outfit one would wear on a cruiseship or newyears or something. Oh well. What can you say?

Black and white are classy and if you are ok with it, great. If you aren't - speak with her about it. People are usually understanding if you're having a themed wedding (i.e. Hawaiian colors) that the black and white don't really fit in.

Sure. I don't really buy into the whole "this is how it should be because this is how it's always been" mentality. If the bridge and groom are okay with it, that's all that matters.
Black is usually acceptable for any formal occasion.

i would prefer my mother-in law not waer black at my wedding - it used to be a VERY clear statement that the mother in law disapproved of the marriage.
But times have changed, the outfit looks good, and it is black AND white.
I suggest you go with it, and not worry. i tell you truly, telling your mother-in-law what to wear at your wedding is not a good thing.
should OTHER people find her attire inappropriate, it is not your problem.

Yes. It sounds very appropriate. I would be more worried if she wanted to wear an orange suit with a lime green feather boa!

Sounds beautiful. My birthmom is wearing an all black dress to my wedding. I don't think there's a problem with it.
