Honeydew Brides
Dresses for (plus size) mothers of the bride and groom to complement green?

I’m trying to help our mothers find dresses. one is petite and like a size 10-12 and the other is average height and plus sized. The bridesmaid colors are clover and honeydew (like a kelly green and really light green)

Good Luck. All of these would come in the colors you would need.
