MOH Standing Out

So in my BP I have 3 girls wearing the same dress and one girl wearing a Jr BM dress and another BM in a close but different dress. Long story short is the last BM couldn't get the original dress on time so we picked a different one in the same color. Well my MoH/Sister seemed a little upset about someone elses dress being different. I told her we could do something else to make her stand out as the MoH and was wondering if anyone had suggestions other than a wrap/sash or a different bouquet. Here is her dress: TIA!

    That looks like a David's dress...  Could you maybe exchange it so she can pick something different?  Or maybe the same dress in one of your other colors?  David's doesn't do returns, but they're usually pretty cool about exchanges if the dress is unaltered.

    There's not a whole lot else other than a sash or flowers that people will notice, unless you want to have a giant neon sign that says MOH.  There are only so many elements to an outfit, you know?

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • I agree with PP.  A sash is definitely the first thing that comes to mind or a bigger bouqet.   The only other think I could of is maybe getting hers hemmed so that its tea length or another different length from the other girls.

  • She's going to be standing next to you during the ceremony.  Generally people know that's the MOH.  Is your sister going to be giving you a speech during the reception?

  • go for a sash!
  • My sister is my MOH. She is in the same dress, but has a different necklace, earring and her flowers have a mix of my flowers in them so we will be "together" through the whole ceremony and she stands out a little more by importance in that aspect. :)
  • I think a sash would look really odd with that dress. What about a really great piece of jewelry? I have also seen a lot of hair combs similar to the brooch on the dress, so that could be an option.
  • I've been to weddings with 3 BM's who all wore the same color dress but slightly different styles and it worked well.  If they are completely different maybe a different bouquet also.  People will now shes MOH no matter what, so she's allowed to have a different dress
  • A sash wouldnt go withthat dress

  • I agree that a sash probably wouldn't work with this dress.  I'd suggest a difference in bouquet or jewelry, but gently remind her the focus will be on you anyways.  People know she's the MOH by her standing next to you, her speech, and the title in the program.  It's your day!
