Red Mother of the Bride Dresses

Red is entirely acceptable, and it is a strong choice when the wedding palette already includes warm tones. If you would rather not stand out in the group photographs, a deeper wine or maroon gives you the same warmth with less brightness under the camera.

The range covers true red through to wine and maroon tones, in satin and soft jersey. Satin reads brighter and catches more light, while soft jersey holds a deeper, quieter version of the same shade, so the fabric changes the colour as much as the dye does.

Yes, particularly in a mid length or cocktail shape rather than a full length gown. A draped midi in a softer red reads as daytime occasion wear, while the deeper wine tones in floor length suit an evening reception or a winter celebration.

Red styles are listed in AU sizes 4 to 30 and the styles listed are in stock. Reds vary a great deal between screens and real life, so if the exact tone matters for coordinating with the wedding party, order a try-on dress and check it at home.
