Question about Maid and Matron of Honor

Emilee, on June 9, 2019 at 6:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Hi everyone! My sister is already married so I am 100% sure she will be my matron of honor. But I always want my best friend to be more than a bridesmaid because I am extremely close to her. I am just wondering if any of you guys have been to a wedding that had this set up, if you thought it was tacky/weird and other opinions. Also bonus if you remember what the dress situation was. Thanks much !!

    Plenty of people have more than one maid/matron of honor. Nothing weird or tacky about it.

    I’m having two matrons of honor and three bridesmaids. I’m not planning on having the matrons of honor wear anything different.

    I had two maids of honor. No matron. And three bridesmaid. They all wore the same dress but different styles. Infinity dress.

    Your friend could be a Maid of Honor! As PPs said, that won't be tacky at all!

    When my sister got married, she had me as her maid of honor and her best friend (who was like another sister) as her matron of honor. It worked out really well! I’m getting married in a few short weeks and I am doing the same thing. My sister will be my maid of honor (since she is no longer married) and my best friend is going to be my matron of honor because she is like another sister to me. This is working as good for me as it did for my sister! And I love that they have each other to help out with all the wedding events and that they have someone to bounce ideas off of. I don’t think it’s tacky at all. I think if you have two people that deserve a title more than bridesmaid, than you should have a matron and maid of honor!

    I always called my maid of honor, a maid of honor. I never used the word matron or separated the 2. To me, it's the same thing. The MOH is usually your best friend and the one that helps with stuff. Like my sister is helping make small choices here and there and the only difference between her and my bridesmaids will be the bouquet and maybe her jewelry. I've never seen someone with 2 MOH before but I guess I don't see the point either. All my bridesmaids are important to me, just having one of them as someone to help if need be. But that's just me. To each their own Smiley smile Whatever makes you happy on your day is what matters. I'm sure your wedding will be beautiful no matter how you plan it

    *Oh, at my last wedding, my MOH did have a different color dress then the bridesmaids. My colors were black and white and my bridesmaids wore a black dress with white accessories and my moh wore a white dress with black accessories. It was the exact same dress, the colors were just switched

    We are having two matrons of honor because I could never choose between my sisters. They did the same for their weddings and nobody batted an eye.
