MOB/MOG dresses/ Black and red wedding

Hi ladies,

I'm stuck on this one. I'm hoping you guys can help. My girls are all wearing black dresses with a red accent. I've talked my mother into a gorgeous red dress. I sort of thought my future mother-in-law should wear red too, but now everyone is telling me the mothers shouldn't wear the same color.
The problem is I don't think there are that many options since my wedding colors are black and red. Truthfully, she can wear whatever color she wants -but she is asking for my advice and pretty much whatever I tell her, she'll get... I'm not sure I like having that power.
I sort of think most other colors (i.e. purple, blue) will clash for pictures. Should I worry about this? Can she wear black/silver/grey even though the girls are wearing black?
Girls who are having red and black weddings - what are your moms/mog's wearing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The one I saw, the MOB wore a grayish I guess you can call it pewter color dress and it went really well with everything.

I say let her wear whatever color she wants. My girls are wearing red dresses, my mother is wearing 'mushroom' color, and FMIL is wearing a celery green color. I'm not concerned about colors clashing.

i kinda wanted the colors to at least flow, and i think they do for the most part
i think pewter or silver would be perfect though!

I think silver or in the grayish family would look really nice plus it would flow with the other colors.

I'm doing a red, black and white wedding too. The BMs are wearing black dresses and will have red flowers.

My mom is wearing a red dress and my FMIL is wearing a black dress!

Thanks ladies!

I appreciate the input

We actually took an impromptu trip today and she ended up with a black one. We were going to do the grey/silver, but the lady suggested it might wash her out... and so, black it was. Looks awesome though. Thanks for all your advice!!
