About

Purple Mother of the Bride Dresses run from soft indigo and dusty indigo through to deeper purple, a family that suits evening receptions, autumn and winter weddings and formal venues where a jewel tone holds its own under low light. Purple stays rich in photographs rather than reading flat, and it sits comfortably alongside most wedding party palettes.

This is a compact group from Tania Olsen, Adrianna Papell and Dressology, in soft jersey with cap sleeves and draped bodices, plus floor length sequin styles and a design with a slit. Sizes run AU 4 to AU 30 and the styles listed are in stock, some made to order. You can order a try-on dress and see the shade at home before you commit.

Purple Mother of the Bride Dresses: your questions answered

Can the mother of the bride wear purple?

Purple is a long standing choice for formal occasions and reads as considered rather than showy. Softer indigo tones suit daytime and garden weddings, while deeper purple holds its richness under evening lighting, which makes it a flexible option across the whole day.

What shades of purple are available?

The range runs from soft indigo and dusty indigo through to deeper purple tones. Because the shade shifts noticeably between soft jersey and sequin fabrics, it is worth comparing two styles side by side before you decide which end of the family suits you.

Which purple styles have sleeves?

Several of the soft jersey styles are cut with cap sleeves or draped bodices that cover the shoulder, which is the usual choice for a church ceremony. The floor length sequin styles lean more formal and are better suited to an evening reception.

What sizes do purple mother of the bride dresses come in?

Purple styles are listed in AU sizes 4 to 30, with the listed styles in stock and some made to order. Jewel tones can read differently under artificial light, so a try-on dress at home is the surest way to check the shade before the wedding.
