  4 MsOH? Okay then. I would just put them in one color. List them in the program as MsOH. Same flowers are fine. There is only a different of title between a BM and a MOH.

  I'm not sure how old your "kids" are, but if they are younger and your BMs are your age, I don't think different styles of dresses would be a bad idea. The MOHs might enjoy a youthful style of dress (one shoulder, etc) whereas your BMs might want something more classic.
  
  The different color for a MOH is not necessary.
  
  Something you could do is add a few of each daughter/stepdaughter's favorite flower into her bouquet for a personal touch. For example, Suzy likes pink roses, Mary likes daisies, Jane likes lilies and Katie likes sunflowers. Either combine all four flowers to make the bouquets or put 3ish of the personal flowers in each girl's bouquet.

  I don't think it's necessary to have different colors of dresses for MOHs as opposed to bridesmaids.  I like itzMS's ideas to have them in different styles or have them carry different flowers.

  Your fiance should not be "insisting" anything about your wedding party members just as you should not be "insisting" anything about his.
  
  I know you didn't ask us that, but that's what I would tell a fiance who is insisting anything about my attendants.  He chooses his side, I choose mine, no questions asked, no complaints registered.

  Normally I would agree with you, but I think in this situation, where it isn't just a marriage of two people, but a union of two families, he is right to want to include all the girls.  I know it is totally none of my business either way, but I think it sweet to include all the children and make all of them feel a part of the big day.
  
  And, OP, I definitely recommend different styles.  Some dresses that look great and classy on a more mature woman (I have no idea how old your other BMs are, but I'm guessing they are somewhat older than your MOHs) can look tawdry on a 15 yo.
