[QUOTE]How is the Best Man's bout different?  Could you do something with her bouquet to include those flowers?  That's what we did for my husband and I. His bout had a calla lily and curly wilow and my bouquet had a few callas and curly willow, whereas my bridesmaids did not. 
Posted by AddieL73[/QUOTE]<div>Oo that's a great idea. My fiancewill have 2 white roses in white ribbon, the Best Man will have 1 white rose with silver ribbon and some baby's breath, and the rest will have freeshia. Adding more roses to my MOH bouquet would be sweet!

[QUOTE]I'm of the "is it really important to do something if she don't care?" bandwagon, but if you're insistent, what about a hair clip/necklace/bracelet/some other piece of jewelry? There's really not a whole lot else to change if you want it unless you're going to insist all the BM dye their hair a separate color from the MOH or something...(if the sarcasm there isn't apparent, that was sarcasm :) )

[QUOTE]Um, are you entirely sure that SHE wants to stand out as much as you are insisting on? If I was MOH and had a bunch of stuff to draw attention to me, I'd be SUPER uncomfortable. I'd spend my entire time up there worrying that people think I'm an AW that is trying to outshine the bride. I wouldn't WANT any extra attention, it's not my day. Besides trying to stand out next to a bride practically requires a clown wig and an airhorn. It's super counterproductive and makes you look like as ss if you actually succeed. This! Is she an introvert? If she is, this will be painful.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:Making my MOH different? No sash, No different color dress : What about instead of a brooch, see if you can have the seamstress she uses sew in crystals or pearl accents into the flower portion of the strap.  Think of a gerber daisy and have the crystal or pearl be the center portion of the flower. I think doing the above would be very subtle way to make your MOH's attire different from the others.  And I doubt that adding the crystals would make her feel weird or awkward or like you are putting her on a pedestal, especially if she is not one who likes being the center of attention. Of course since she is most likely paying for the dress you will need to check with her to see if she is ok with the addition and of course you will have to pay for the addition as well. As for the topic of making the MOH different or stand out a bit more then the others.  I really don't see anything wrong with this.  Many times the difference is just in the flowers or a small change in the dress but it isn't like the OP wants to put the MOH on a pedestal and have a spotlight follow her around all night.
Posted by Maggie0829[/QUOTE]<div>I think your suggestion is my favorite by far. Something small to her dress (especially that sparkles) is just the kind of subtle difference on her that I think would be nice.

[QUOTE]My bridesmaids all have a simple pretty headband and my MOH has a headband that is basically a feather fascinator. It's bigger and will definitely make her stand out a bit. I wanted her to stand out too.

</div><div>That's kind of a neat idea, especially since she has short hair. I'm glad someone else wanted the MOH to stand out too.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Making my MOH different? (No sash, No different color dress) : I have a question about this, and I'm not knocking it or trying to be snarky. I genuinely want to know. I see a lot of this recommended as a way for an MOH to stand out. <strong>Does this mean the other girls CAN'T wear anything in their hair, then?  
</strong>Posted by AddieL73[/QUOTE]

Nope, not at all. I really don't care what way they wear their hair. None of them have mentioned putting a hair clip in so I mentioned that to my MOH as a way for her to stand out. If someone else wants to..then I guess she won't stand out that way LOL

When I was MOH in my best friend's wedding I wore the same exact floor-length dress as her sisters (other bridesmaids). Our boquets were the same and so was our hair flower. The only thing that (secretely) made our outfits different was that I wore green flip flops and they all wore the same color as the champagne dresses (her colors were sage green and champagne). That was fine with me .
