Colors That The Mother Of The Bride Should Wear At A Hawaiian Garden Wedding

Why Color Matters

The mother of the bride is really limited to choice of color due to her special place at the wedding of her daughter.
For example, the mother of the bride should not wear blue or any shade of blue or colors that are blends of blue. The obvious reason is that blue is considered a color for boys. The mother of the groom can wear blue but not the mother of the bride. People know colors. At a wedding, the mother of the bride can be distinguished from the mother of the groom by the color of the dress or gown that she is wearing. At a Hawaiian garden wedding, the bride's mother can wear many pastel colors that might be accented by the flowers used to create a Hawaiian garden wedding.

Never Wear White

The color white at a wedding is meant to signify that the wearer is being married for the first time. The mother of the bride is obviously already married or widowed. The mother of the bride should never wear white. Aside from the traditional meaning of the color white, some guests might feel that the mother of the bride was competing with her daughter for attention at her wedding. The color white is very disconcerting when worn by other members attending the bride. Actually, the bride's wedding is her special day. The color white is reserved for her at her wedding. The bride's mother wearing white is not appropriate and shows a lack of understanding of the importance of colors at weddings. The Hawaiian garden wedding is a great setting for wearing brightly colored dresses or gowns. The mother of the bride at a Hawaiian garden wedding has a choice of many colors but none of them should be white.

Wearing Pink

The traditional color of the mother of the bride at a wedding is pink. The mother of the bride at a Hawaiian garden wedding can choose from one of the many shades of pink. Gowns or dresses with mixed colors might work if the blend is artistic and does not clash or force attention to the mother of the bride's body shape. As a matter of fact, the color pink as a solid color in a gown or a dress can hide almost any imperfection in the bride's mother's shape. Although pink is thought to be the color of baby girls clothes, at the wedding of one of those baby girls, the mother is given the honor of wearing pink. The pink can be any of the dark pink shades up to but never an actual red. The pink can be light all the way from a peony pink to a pale pink but never an off white which is really a bad choice of color for the mother of the bride. The Hawaiian garden wedding offers many delights and most especially the delight of color as it is enhanced by traditionally Hawaiian symbols like flowers, flowery gowns and dresses and outdoor clothing meant to be chic yet as extravagant as the natural Hawaiian islands and peoples.

The mother of the bride should wear pink or a shade of pink. That honor is significantly hers at the marriage of her daughter. The shade of pink can be chosen to accentuate the natural skin color of the bride's mother. Not all pinks have the same effect on a person's skin. Choosing the right pink takes a little thought and patience but is very important to completing the look of a Hawaiian garden wedding and also accommodating the special place of the mother of the bride.

A Hawaiian garden wedding is a delightful setting full of the colors that has made the island of Hawaii viewed as a paradise on earth. The colors of the mother of the bride should not be affected by the theme of the wedding. The traditional colors for the mother of the bride are pinks, any shade or hue of pink, but definitely pink.
