Bridesmaid and moh dresses

Brianna, on July 5, 2020 at 11:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
So I have been browsing dresses for my maids and I planned on having all of my girls wearing the same dress but my MOH will be in a different color. So here is my problem, my MOH is very opinionated about her dress and the style of dress she has in mind is not very wedding appropriate and not very body conscious as my three bridesmaids are fuller figured and my MOH isn’t. I let my youngest bridesmaid pick out dresses she thinks she will like and be comfortable in because she will be 15 when we get married so I want to accommodate her so she can be confident. So she ended picking the one I had picked originally which is great but how do I tell my MOH that he choices aren’t being considered?

    Since you want everyone in the same dress, I would just tell the MOH that you are trying to pick a dress that will flatter everyone. I wouldn’t say that her options aren’t being considered because it could be taken poorly, just show her what you decided on. It’s your wedding, not hers.

    I agree with pp if everyone else likes the dress then majority rules anyway.

    I mean I assume since she's your MOH that you are close. I'd just be honest that you want your young bridesmaid to be in something appropriate for her age. Where are you getting your dresses? You could still be a cohesive look with dresses that are the same length, fabric and basic cut, but have your youngest have a similar but more modest neckline. Or have your MOH in the same color but a sexier dress. In the end it's your wedding. Her only two real obligations are to show up on the day in the dress you pick. However, I wanted my nearest and dearest to all feel beautiful. I picked a color, and they ended up all liking the same dress. But I made sure to speak with each privately to make sure she loved the dress and felt beautiful. My brother was my man of honor so I got away with not having to single out one girl.

    I agree with PP. Is your heart set on picking a specific matching dress for all of them?? I find this to present so many problems with most bridal parties for the simple fact that every woman is different and knows their body and has their own personal insecurities that we may not realize. Some girls might hate their arms and others might want to hide some sort of scar that you never realize they had kind of thing. Does the dress require a special bra that the girls need to also buy or will the dress come with cups already inserted? If you have someone in your BP with a larger bust, they are guaranteed to not feel secure in certain dresses and some of the strapless style bras can get very expensive, especially if the dresses cut low in the back. I personally told my bridal party the color. They all love black and they are all really happy that we agreed-upon black. they are picking whatever type of bridesmaids style dress they want. If you have your heart set on one specific dress in mind for them then you should follow your heart, but it may end up leading to rocky roads.

    I just think that you're the bride and this is the wedding so it's your decision. I am so glad that I don't have anyone like that in my wedding party. As MOH she should know she shouldn't be bringing attention to herself w/ a dress like that. As a BM I can't imagine giving a major stink about a dress I only have to wear for 5-6 or so hours.

    If she is your MOH then she should be one of your closest friends. Just be honest with her. Let her know you decided to pick a dress that would be the most flattering for everyone. It is your wedding and you can pick whatever you want.
