Hi, As far as I know, you can use a gown with different color.

 

My honest opinion is that it's in bad taste and disrespectful to the bride for ANYONE to wear white/cream/champagne at the wedding.  Those colors are normally reserved for the bride only to help her stand out from her guests.

If you want to start your relationship with her as you future daughter in law off to a good start, I would suggest you either:

a. Speak with her about it and gage her reaction.  If she doesn't like it, then don't do it.  If she doesn't care, then you are fine.

b. Find a different color to wear.

In my opinion, wearing anything which competes with the bride can be problematic. Champagne as a color would not compete so much as a 'gown'. Be careful and carefully examine your intentions. A colorful sash would clearly distinguish anyone from being even a part of the wedding party, so I say go for it. This is after all a celebration, so celebrate!
