How to make MOH standout??

Teri&Anthony2011 · August 2010

So my MOH and one of my BM have the same dress, but I want to know how to make my MOH stand out....what are some suggestions?

Sash, brooch, wrap, hair accessory, different bouquet... Though honestly, I've never heard of having the MOH "stand out" until the Knot. She's the one standing next to you, people will be able to figure out which one she is.

Your MOH could add a sash or bow to her dress, or wear a lighter or darker shade of the rest of your BM dresses, or you could have her carry a bigger bouquet than the rest of your BM or carry different color flowers.

Hope that helps!

ditto pps: different sash, different bouquet, but really, since she's the last one down the aisle before you, and she stands next to you during the ceremony, and she holds your flowers....I'm guessing people will be able to figure out who the MOH is.

My MOH had a slightly bigger bouquet that was more similar to mine as well as a flower in her hair.

Thank you for your ideas... I had thought about the different boquet, and now that I have your ideas I will consider those too. I understand what you are saying about the "standing out" but I want my MOH to not only be differnet but feel different apart from the other girls.

Thanks for the ideas, but the dresses are already ordered and 2 of the dresses are already in. I might have to do something different with her boquet, thanks for the idea again.

Your welcome. Glad I could help you. You can see pics of the flower and the differences in the bouquets of my MOH vs the other girls in my married bio.

My girls are all wearing the same dress (they liked it that way, and so did I, so it worked out well!), but the MoH will have a different colour pashmina and her bouquet, while the same as the rest in every other way, will have a ruby rhinestone in the centre of each rose. That's it.

In the same way, the best man will have a crimson vest, to match the MoH, and different wrapping on his boutonniere, from the groomsmen.

Very subtle differences, but just enough to distinguish.

I agree with all the previous posts. Another thing you could do is have her wear a different color shoe. I went to a wedding where all the BMs had black shoes and the MOH had red ones. It was a cute touch. All the GMs had on black shoes, and the BestMan had on red converse.
