setting MOH apart

nazane

I'm looking for some ways to set my MOH apart at the wedding. We bought all my girls dresses this past weekend and they all are different dresses, but the same color. My MOH's dress is "poofier" then all the other girls. My MOH has a broch already on her dress but I wanted to give the other girls something too. What if I give the other girls a ribbon and not my MOH? Does anyone have any ideas!?!? Thank you!

You can give her a different bouquet.  Something between what you have and what your BMs have.  Different flowers or even different colors.

She could wear a flower in her hair (my MOH did this), carry a bouquet a bit bigger than the rest of the BM's and/or more similar to yours. Your florist should be able to help you there. She could also wear a sash or something, but I think that might be too much since you already mentioned she would have a brooch on the side of her dress.

Meh-she'll stand out because she's the last one to walk in before you, the one next to you holding your flowers during the ceremony, the one adjusting your train, the one perhaps giving a toast at the reception.

Please don't overthink how much your guests care about which woman is the MOH.  She's important (very important) to you, as she should be.  But for your guests, they'll figure out who is the MOH without ribbons, etc.

I wouldn't stress over it.  I thought about that myself but, the girls all bought the same dress... that said, she might wear these gorgeous ivory satin shoes she found while other girls will be wearing black - I think that will be about the extent of her standing out.  She's my MOH and very important to me, but so are the other girls and I don't want to make them feel like less of a friend to me.  She's already got the title and trix1223 is right... people will know!

I think what you have already is plenty.  Like trix said, she will be the last one in the door before you and anyone that's been to a wedding will know she is the MOH.

Below is a picture of my MOH, my sister, standing next to a bridesmaid. Her flowers were slightly different than the BMs one (I had the florist use her favorite flower, stargazer lillies while the BM had tiger lilies). I also gave her a necklace to match her earrings, while the BMs wore no necklace. Subtle diffences, but I wanted to do something special for her since she did so much for me.
