What to Look For in a Rose Gold Mother of the Bride Outfit
Once considered a trendy color, rose gold has become just as timeless and popular as gold and silver. However, not all rose gold shades are created equal. In fact, rose gold comes in a wide range of shades boasting undertones of light-catching copper or pale pink and light gold, making it a flattering color for every complexion. When it comes to shopping for a mother of the bride dress, particularly in rose gold, make sure to keep in mind the dress code and theme of the wedding, as well as the season. For example, MOBs attending a black-tie wedding in the winter should consider full-length gowns with dazzling embellishments while casual summer weddings call for short or tea-length silhouettes crafted from shimmering rose gold silk or lightweight lace.
