One mother's dress is too formal

I think that both dresses look good together and are equal in formality.

I don't think she'll look out of place at all. Both dresses are gorgeous!

I think both dresses look great and I think they both look really formal. What are your girls dresses?

Agreed with the above comments... I don't even think the long one is really that formal. Your moms looks dressier but I think they will compliment each other nicely. Maybe FH's mom doesn't like showing her legs or something, or she feels prettier in a long dress. Let them both be happy, no one will think twice about it either way.

I think it will look fine but it is frustrating when on person agrees to something& does not follow through.

For my mom& MIL, it was agreed that my mom would wear dark green and MIL would wear dark blue.They both agreed.

We went shopping for dresses and they each tried on several dresses until finding the dresses they both wanted. My mom went ahead and bought hers while MIL said she wanted to wait. Okay, as long as you don't wait too long.

Well she did. she kept putting off paying for her dress until they would no longer let her order it. They refused to take any orders for April.

So then at the last minute she had to go to the store and find something at the last minute. She found a black dress. I was upset but I wasn't gonna create drama. My mom was pissed cause she had already bought her dress and MIL had agreed to wear a certain dress and had gone back on that.

It all ended up working out fine but it was annoying that she agreed to do something &went back on it at the last min

Love both, I think they go well together actually.

BTW my mom wore the top one for my sisters wedding and it looked awesome

I think they will look great together. My mom and FMIL will be wearing different length dresses and they will be sifferent colors. My mom's is a magenta tea length silk jacquard, while FMIL will be wearing a floor length navy chiffon. They both love their dresses, so I'm sure they'll look great.

And I think the fabric and cut of your mom's dress is very sophisticated.

Maybe its just the bridezilla in me, but I like things to be cohesive, especially when it comes to the immediate family. Think about the attire of your event. Is is semi-formal? Cute casual? Black Tie? Maybe that will help the moms.
