How to distinguish MOH's?

I have 2 MOH's (my sister and bf) and 3 BM's, I am letting them wear whatever dress they want as long as its purple and floor length. My question is how to distinguish the MOH's? I know I don't have to, but I want to. The flowers are all the same and we considered silver sashes (since my colors are silver and purple) but the sash doesn't go with the dress they chose to wear (they are wearing the same dress btw) I was hoping we could have their dresses more glitzy with beading and the other girls more plain but my one BM bought her dress with beading so that's out! lol Any and all opinions are welcome, thanks ladies!

    I don't know actually, I never thought of why, as stupid as that sounds. It's just something we (my cirlce of family and friends) do I suppose. Both MOH's want to be different as well, especially my BF since she won't actually be standing next to me (she is pregnant and having a c-section several weeks prior, so she actaully might not even be able to come but if she does she will be seated for her comfort)

    The bouquets are really the only thing I can think of. Or a hair flower.

    But I doubt anyone's really going to notice their accessories ... I think they'll figure out who's the MOH based on who's next to you, or who's listed in the program as MOH, or who walks out with the Best Man.

    If they both want to do something to set the MOH apart, why not let them hash it out amongst themselves? That way, they can pick their own accessories or decide if they'll style their hair differently, or whatever, and they will be happy with their choice and you won't need to think of something.

    I'd never heard of the MsOH being set apart in any way before the Knot, except for having a slightly larger bouquet.  That's all I did for mine.  Honestly, no one really cares much about the honor attendant, and will figure out that it's the person standing next to you.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    With my MOH, I have her a bouquet that matched mine except smaller. All the other bms had bouquets of one particular flower. I had 3 types of flowers (a mixture of all of them). Plus, the MOHs are the ones that are closer to you. I wouldn't do anything extra. People can figure it out.

    I was MOH in my friend's wedding, and we talked about all kinds of different ways she could "distinguish" me, but in the end we were way overthinking it.  I had MOH by my name in the program, and I had slightly larger bouquet than the BMs, and it was just fine. 

    I will probably do a slightly larger/different combination of flowers for my MsOH bouquets.  Something I'm considering (which may or may not happen depending on time and motivation) is making them a similar fascinator to the one I am going to wear for their hair if they want.

    It sounds like everyone has already picked out a dress, but one of the ideas I like is to let all the BMs have a short dress and only the MOH has a floor-length dress. Other than that I think the larger or different bouquet idea will work.

    Thanks for the ideas, I am probably waaaay over thinking this anyways. I was thinking of doing single stem calla's as flowers (but at this point I have changed flower ideas like 4X's so who knows) The different length dresses won't work since its March in Buffalo, NY lol and my one BM already has a floor length dress. I think I'll just take mbcdefg's advice and let them hash it out.

    The MoH's could wear a cute headband/small tiara/barette or flower int the hair,  or something that just slightly stands outs but is not to much bling.
