Dilema on bridesmaids dresses...need some advice

Here's my dilema on my bridesmaids dresses....

I have a dress picked out for my MOH (with her help).  Its a one shouldered, knee length, and silver oraganza dress.    The wedding colors are kelly green, silver, and black.  I need to figure out dresses for my 2 BM.  I want their dresses to be knee length and kelly green.  I'm not sure if its best to have their dresses the same fabric or the same style or both as the MOH dress.  I would like to have some cohesiveness among the BM and MOH, but have the MOH stand out somewhat.  Thoughts???

    I'd go with the same fabric. It's tough for one girl to have a say in the style of the dress, but not the other 2. Some body types can't do the one-shoulder thing.

    I would have them be the same fabric and knee length, but otherwise let the two BMs individually pick which style suits them best.

    Same fabric definitely and either the same length or a little shorter

    If she's wearing silver, and they're wearing kelly green, she's already going to stand out tremendously.  I would definitely go same fabric and length.  If the other girls like the same neckline, I would actually do that too.  Since they're already looking so different with such opposite colors (not in a bad way!), I think it would look best to keep the rest of it as similar as possible.
