Maid of Honor in Same Dress - All Girls Same Dress? And Updos?

PrettyinPink, on November 18, 2017 at 1:32 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 27

I love this dress from Azazie and originally wanted all of them in this dress (same color) and even my MOH. They like the dress and don't mind all wearing the same dress. However, I know it is pretty popular to have "mismatched" bridesmaid dresses (same color/length/material) but different style....

I love this dress from Azazie and originally wanted all of them in this dress (same color) and even my MOH. They like the dress and don't mind all wearing the same dress. However, I know it is pretty popular to have "mismatched" bridesmaid dresses (same color/length/material) but different style. With my venue (ball room) and time of day (evening), I wanted my bridesmaids to be in unison and with only 4 bridesmaids, including MOH, I wasn't sure it was a good idea to do the mismatch thing - even just different styles. I also don't want to be too original.

I also remembered that I should distinguish my MOH from the rest of the girls. If I do all the same dresses, would doing a slightly different bouquet be enough? I'm stressing out over all the small things. I know I am overthinking things.

And with hair. I will be doing an updo, should all my girls wear undo's too, have a combo or have their hair be all done? Why are there so many little things?

What did everyone else do?

    My BM are wearing some color/fabric from same company but different styles according to what looks good on them/their taste. I'm paying for their hair and makeup but I'm ok with them choosing whatever hair they want.

    My MOH will be wearing a blingy belt/sash with her dress and a decorative hair piece. Everyone can wear whatever shoes they want (and I encourage flats) due to the length of our ceremony.

    I had 3 Bridesmaids and 2 of them wore the same dress. The 3rd (not MOH) isnt a dress type and she wore the same getup as the guys. DHs sister wore the same dress as the girls. They all had their hair done the way they were comfortable with.

    I'm picking a designer, length, material, and color and they can choose any silouhette that suits their body. I have one bridesmaid with G cup boobs who very much wants to wear a bra that has straps so she will likely choose an option with thicker straps, but there are strapless and halter options too if anyone prefers. My MOH has the same choices. I may do a slightly different bouquet for her though

    My BM and MOH wore the same dress in the same color, with the same bouquet. I let them do whatever they wanted with their hair and makeup, but they ended up doing it the same anyways. They're identical twins, so we had a lot of matching happening lol

    I was going to have the bridesmaids pick whatever dress they wanted in my color and length, and they wound up all agreeing on one anyway. Even the junior bridesmaid liked the kids' version of the dress. I think it looks good on everyone. I asked the MOH if she wanted a different shade to stand out, and she said no.

    One will be buying a pants outfit in the same or a similar color. I'm leaving it up to her for the exact style that she chooses.

    I think you should leave it up to your bridesmaids, that way they're in something they feel comfortable and confident in. My girls ended up all wanting the same dress, even though I gave them free reign so maybe that would happen with you as well. I didn't do anything to make my MOH stand out, I figured everyone know and anyone who didn't found out when she did her toast at the reception.
