MOH dress

I love my maid of honor!! But it seems like the only thing she is worried about is what dress she is going to wear! I'm having a simple country chic kind of wedding and she is wanting a sparkley dress from head to toe and it just wouldn't look right. 

Me and my fiance may end up paying for the dresses, and i'm not going to spend a ton more on hers than everyone else's i'd really like to just have mathcing dresses (i know it's not the thing right now but i like it) and i just don't know how to drop it on her i've been saying little hints and she says she "doesn't feel special then" 

I don't know what to do!

Coming from a current Maid of Honor, I think matching dresses and not spending more on hers is totally fine  A head to toe sparkley dress doesn't seem fitting for your wedding theme, but maybe she could wear a cute, sparkley sash or hair piece as a small, but good way to standout. Currently, the bride to be in my group is being a dictator and honestly, you seem far away from that so I give you credit! Just be honest, tell her though a sparkley dress would be perfect for a bachelorette party, it doesn't go with your wedding theme and you would like her to wear something a little more simple.

thanks i just don't want to hurt her feelings i told her she could pick something out that was the same fabric and color and she didn't like that but i want all my girls to feel pretty and comfortable. It's just aggervating because that's about the only wedding detail she seems to want to talk about even when i ask her opinon on other things she doesn't say much so i'm not sure

i suggested those ideas to her and she loved them!! i didn't say you will still be in the same dress which is actually still in the air depending on what i can find but at least she is ok with those ideas your a life saver!!!!

Aw, that makes me so happy to hear!!! I'm sure she'll be fine being in the same dress as others, knowing she can add a little sparkleling touch to let others know her position as MOH. Good luck on getting the final dresses and congratulations on your wedding!

It's your wedding, and you choose what the maids wear.. If all she's interested in talking about is HER dress, maybe you should find a new MOH.. She is supposed to be there for YOU, not the other way around..
