MOH Different Bouquet

Sarah195, on April 23, 2015 at 9:42 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

Yesterday I had dinner with my MOH and she was wondering if she gets a different bouquet than the other BM's. I'm not sure if that's tradition or how it works. I kind of visioned everyone having the same bouquet to keep it uniform and I was going to let her pick a different dress so she can stand out that way. Will it look weird in pictures if she has a different bouquet?

    In my opinion it does look weird if the bouquets are different so my girls will all have the same bouquets. I know some places make the MOH bouquet a bit bigger than the rest. That's always an option.

    My MOH will be slightly bigger than the other BM. But I have her wearing the same exact dress so I wanted a little something to differentiate her.

    Mine did not. But I also didn't have my MOH "stand out". I don't think it's necessary lol.

    Mine will be the same. The only way they're differentiating from the BMs (I have 2 MOH) is that their dress has a sash while the others don't. Side note, I like your avatar picture. Cute. (:

    I only did a bouquet for my MOH and my other girls just got a single calla lily. It was a nice way to differentiate her...not to mention it saved me about $200 lol.

    I think it might be overkill for her to have a different dress and bouquet than the other BM's and would look off in pictures. So I think if she has a different dress she will have the same bouquet as the BM's and if she has a different bouquet she will have the same dress. So I will politely ask her to pick one or the other Smiley smile

    I think sometimes they have a slightly larger bouquet but same flowers, but ours were all the same size. It might also look weird to have a different bouquet when they end up holding yours during the ceremony.

    That's a good point @stephanie! I didn't think about that.

    I've seen it done both ways. All the same, or somehow different. I have 3 girls and their dresses are all different. I have the BM's carrying tussie mussies and the MOH will carry a feather fan with some bling hanging from it.

    I have only seen one wedding where the MOH had a different bouquet, it was just slightly larger- honestly not worth the extra cost.

    I had extra roses and orchids added into my Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor bouquets-- so they match, they're just a little bit bigger than the other four.

    Every wedding I have ever been to had the bridal party all carrying the exact same bouquets.

    Haitian weddings usually have the MOH stand out and her bouquet is different. Larger then the bridal party but smaller then the bride. I've seen it all the time.

    I haven't decided if the dress will be different but her bouquet definitely will be. When I say different, I mean larger than the other girls but not as big as mine, same flowers, and added bling for her to feel special without being overly noticeable. Go with your gut!

    You can keep the size and flowers the same but add floral pins. The florist can add these little jewels in her bouquet to make it special without totally changing it from the party.
