Marriage Fashion Expert and Mother of the Lick Attire

Photography by f8studio Question: I am the caretaker of the lick and I’m unsure of what color to wear. The bride’s mother is wearing black, so am I supposed to also wear black. I have a beautiful suit jacket in Nectarine with black dressy shorts. Which might be appropriate? Marriage Fashion Expert, RoseLynn Micari-Fiumara’s Answer: As the short sleeve mother of the bride dresses it is very important for you to look your absolute best. As a guest of honor you will be filmed and photographed all day and have an amazing moment dancing with your son at the reception. Although I have not seen your nectarine jacket and black shorts, I believe you should be less conservative and more dressy for your son’s wedding. Wear a gown or dress. Find something that still stays true to your personality but is nothing like what you would “normally” wear.

 You don’t have to choose glitz but it must be an outfit that is more special than what you would wear as a regular guest. The caretaker of the bride chose her Taffeta Sheath Column Mother Of The Bride Dress With Jacket first – etiquette dictates that is correct. She chose black. That’s means every color possible is available. I would go with a solid. If she is in black then maybe you want to look at a deep color like navy, burgundy, chocolate or pewter. If a dark color is not your style, then An excellent opportunity a gold, champagne bottle or silver. These tones blend with most color palates and are very stylish in 2010. If you want to be safe, make sure this does not clash with the bridesmaid dresses and that the bride likes the color.

You can also want to consider black as well. It looks great on most people and is always elegant and never out of style. Again check with the bride if that’s okay with her and her mother. Although you don’t have to get the bride’s okay; it is the best and most well intentioned thing to do. It will avoid any potential hurt feelings or “color potential fight. ” If you love the suit – wear it to the wedding rehearsal dinner or marriage shower. I know many mother of the grooms feel like they need to take a back seat to the mother of the bride, but they shouldn’t. You are equally important and should standout! If it weren’t for you, there would be no lick! Congratulations and good luck!
