Mother Of The Bride

If my bridesmaids are wearing a deep red (not burgandy) what is an appropriate color for the mother of the bride to wear? Also, this is an evening garden wedding (it will be around 80 deg at that time of year).. What type of dress is appropriate? My mother would like to wear something pretty formal and long sleeves but I am thinking it will be a bit much.. But maybe not:)

If she wants to wear long sleeves how about a shear long sleeve like chiffon? That would be gorgeous and very elegant! For colors that go with a deep red, I like silver or champagne.
