How to help the MOH stand out...

My MOH is wearing the same dress as the BMs, same color and all...

I understand that this is rare these days- but I gave her the option of picking a different color and she never chose one, so we just did all the same color.

Any ideas on how can I make her 'stand out' as the MOH..other than the different bouquet she wil have?

TIA!

My MOH will probably wear a flower in her hair. Also will be in different jewelry than the others. And the bo-k is bigger. Theres not much else that can be done!

Did u ask the girls to wear the same shoe, hair style etc? If so, you can switch your MOH's styles...

different flowers?? Maybe babys breath in her hair.??

Can you change the straps on the dress? (Like if they are spagetti straps - criss cross them for her and not the other girls)

I am facing the same issue. I haven't decided what to do yet but some things I was thinking were, do her hair different than eveyone else or have her wear something extra to distinguish her. I am having a rough time too! Sorry I can't be more help.

Is it maybe possible to have a sash made for your MOH dress? Or maybe a brooch or something ( the style of the dress may work with this)?

My MOH is wearing gloves-none of the BMs will be, as well as a bigger bouquet and different jewelry.

I wasn't planning on doing anything to make my MOH stand out! Now I'm thinking that I should!

I have 2 MOH's and they will be wearing the same color as the BM's but their skirt is a pickup and the others are classic a-line....

I have the same issue. I think I am going to have different flowers and a different shawl for her to wear.

Actually, my MOH reminded me that she looks like the BMs. My aunt told me that she must stand out. So this is the joke in the family, how to make my MOH stand out. Good think I like my MOH. She is after all my BF and only sister.

Re: How to help the MOH stand out...

if the dress is totally the same--maybe finding a pretty broch to put on it? my MOH/sister and BM had the same dress--but MOH had embroidery on hers.

also--flowers. my BM had all white flowers, MOH had white--with some purple calla lillies sprinkled in, and i had all lavendar roses and plum callas.

Re: How to help the MOH stand out...

Here's a pic of my girls and i...you can see my BM has no embroidery on her gown--and her flowers are all white/cream.

my moh also had a little sweep train on her dress as well as more colors in her bo-k and it was a little bigger:
