What should an overweight MOG wear?
What should an overweight Mother of the Groom wear? My son is having a formal wedding in at a country club. The bridal party is wearing dark teal dresses & my husband is wearing a black tux with a white shirt. I am 5’6” and overweight.
An overweight MOG should wear an outfit in a style and color that flatters her. It is the most important decision she needs to make. A MOG will be on stage at the wedding. Choose a dark color (navy blue) long-style dress or pantsuit (in a dressy fabric) that will give you a slimmer appearance and look good with the dark teal bridal party dresses. Talk to a personal shopper at a department or bridal store to help find the most flattering solution.
My pick would be a beautiful navy blue dress in a dressy fabric with statement earrings, black shoes, and a black clutch. An up-to-date hairstyle and flattering makeup will draw attention upward away from your body and will highlight your face. The country club venue for your son’s wedding sounds fabulous. Avoid lighter color shoes that will draw attention to your feet.

Accessorize Like the French
The French chic know how to transform their look with accessories. They accessorize to change the look of their neutral color, classic, basic style clothing. French women know how to add a trendy accessory every season. They accessorize their basics with one or two other colors. They always buy trendy items that go with what they have in their closet. A good quality bold, splashy color handbag or a trendy detail like a new shade of lipstick will accessorize a basic.
Let’s Talk About Color(s)!
Sometimes a widely announced new color truly does dominate a season, other times colors seem to come out of nowhere. But have you noticed that in general there seems to be quite a bit of coordination between the clothing world, the gift world, and the industrial/interior design world regarding color? Why?
