Buying mother of the groom gowns can be a tedious job. You want to be involved in your son's wedding, but want to avoid stepping on anyone's toes. There are a few etiquette rules to follow when picking out your mother of the groom gowns, but communication with the bride and her mother are the key. Ideally you want to pick a color that compliments both the attire of the mother of the bride and the bridesmaids, but avoid matching exactly, unless the bride has requested this. Above all you should avoid anything in the white or ivory color family, as this may insult the bride. You should also avoid black because it is associated with mourning, and red due to its flashiness.
