WHAT SHOULD THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE WEAR TO A WEDDING?

It seems like there's a misconception about what a mother of the bride should look like at their child's wedding. The words 'beige' or 'matronly' usually come to mind. Are we seriously still in the 18th century? The mother of the bride should be more free spirited and wear the dress of their choice; whether it is a body fitting sexy dress or a more conservative look, as long as she's confident and the bride consents. Previously, there was a 'no-white' rule but recently many brides have chosen to have the entire wedding entourage wear white. This rule seems to not hold much water anymore. Remember that communication is key between both the mother of groom and bride to avoid any mishaps or disagreements on what to wear.
