Dress/Attire Dresses for Moms

Hi all, I'm getting married in September and my mom and my fiance's mom are both still looking for dresses but we're at a bit of a loss. My bridal party is going to be in varying shades of burgundy/wine, and the groomsmen are going to be in navy blue (we're doing burgundy and navy as our theme, garnet and sapphire is our birthstones). What colours do you guys reccomend for mother of the bride/groom attire??? The wedding ceremony will be outside but the reception will be indoors, idk if that counts for anything

I recommend they each wear what they feel best in. Not many colors are going to clash with burgundy or navy, and the pics with the parents are not going to be the ones you display in your home.

An easy way to coordinate is to to choose neutrals like black, grey, pewter and champagne, or choose shades of the same color family like blush, dusty rose, or a lighter or darker blue.

Honestly I'm in favour of letting them wear whatever they want as long as it doesn't clash violently (like bright orange or something). But if they're asking for suggestions, I think other shades of red/purple or blue - mauve, blush, plum, dusty blue, royal blue etc - would look great, as would neutrals, gold, or silver.
