I have both a maid of honor and matron of honor...how can I make them stand out??!!

lindsay, on January 5, 2015 at 6:32 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15

So I have had all my bridesmaids pick out different styles of long dresses from Mori Lee (in blush). My question is what can I my maid of honor and matron of honor wear or do to make them stand out/differ from the other bridesmaids? I have included their dresses below Smiley smile

I would love to hear everyone's opinions, thoughts, what you are doing for your MOH etc!

Thanks everyone!

    I have seen MOH be in a different color or wear a different dress. Since you're already doing different dresses, maybe you could have them in a slightly darker shade or complementary color? If you don't love that idea, I've also seen it where the MOH has a slightly different or larger bouquet than the other BMs.

    I've seen the larger/different bouquet.

    Give them a statement necklace/earrings/hair clip. When I was MOH, my sister gave me earrings that matched her necklace (her ears aren't pierced and they came in a set).

    FWIW, you don't NEED to make your MOH's stand out.

    I have 2 Matrons of Honor and a Maid of Honor. I will be getting their slightly different/bigger bouquets. I also have three bridesmaids who are sorority sisters and they'll have our sorority's flower in the middle of their bouquet (its a Phi Mu wedding tradition)

    You can give then sashes? But if you're having everyone have a different dress you don't necessarily HAVE to make them stand out. I agree with annakay511 about a slightly darker shade/complimentary color. But I would want both Maid and Matron of honor to be the same shade as each other or it might look unintentional and sloppy

    I'm planning on using a sparkly brooch or sash to make my MOH stand out

    My MOH had a different style bouquet and she was the only one to stand at the "alter" with me (I had all the bridesmaids sit for the ceremony).

    Mine just stood next to me. She wore the same dress and shoes and carried the same bouquet.

    I have two bridesmaids and a maid of honor. They will all be wearing the same dress in the same color, but the moh will have a sparkly belt.

    I did bigger bouquets for my two MOHs and a smaller bouquet for my 3rd bridesmaid.

    I only have a MOH but her dress will be a different color; her bouquet will be the same as the BMs.

    I have an Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor also. We are still working out how they will stand out all my ladies will be wearing black and I am thinking of having a pink sash added to theirs with a different bouquet.

    I have a Maid of Honor and a Maid of Honor I am having all my girls in the same style of dress but putting them in purple and the rest of my girls in teal. You could always do a sash, change their bouquets or I have seen the maid of honor have something in her hair like a little bling or flower.
