Maid of honor with different style dress

Are any of you having your MOH wear a different dress or different color dress of the same style or different style dress of the same color?

I'm doing that because of having to kick my old MOH to the curb and having a new one fill in. I just purchased the new MOH's dress at the store and it's a totally different style, but it's the same color from the same designer as the other dresses. I know she will look fab because she is shaped like Barbie, but I hope she looks good WITH the other BM. Opinions please.

Here's the dress:

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

I've seen it done both ways(style or color), it allows the MOH to stand out. The dress is very pretty and since she has the body for it thats great. Is the color shown your color choice? My bridesmaids will be wearing the color shown on the model!

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

I gave my MOH the choice of wearing a different style dress, but she liked the dress I had choosen for the other BMs...she wanted me to change all of the BM dresses and for HER to have their style dress. Of course I told her she was BUGGIN'! Long story short now they all have the same style. But anyway classy, I think it's a great idea and I happen to love your dress choice for her.
...oh thought...will her dress be ready in 10 days? (you do know that you are almost there?!?...(me, cheesing!)

My MOHs wore different style and color dresses from my bridesmaids. It worked out quite nicely.

Thanks for confirming that.

Yep! My wedding colors are mori lee's "sage" and ivory. I think those colors are very pretty so I'm biased when I say that your color choice is the bomb! LOL. I'm having bright spring flowers at the wedding, so this color was definitely mellow enough to mesh with hot pinks, yellows, reds..etc.

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

I think that will be just find. My MOH is wearing a different style dress because of her size. My BM are wear one style and my JBM are wearing another style. I didn't mean for it to be that way in the begaining but I beleive it is going to look good because it's in sets.

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

Same here...my MOHs are wearing a different color/style than my BMs. It will all blend together ...so I'm told. I would upload photos, but I have no clue on how to do.

Either way, it's our day..do it our way!!

Ray, I absolutely think it would work! Those dresses are gorgeous & they appear to compliment every shape.

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

My maid of honor lost her mind. She thought she was going to wear the same color I was wearing. I informed her that she was wearing the same dress that my bridesmaids was wearing with a jacket.

Re: Maid of honor with different style dress

The second dress is the 1 my girls are wearing in candy apple red. My maid of honor is wearing a different dress in the same color. The great thing about it is it looks good on all body types and sizes. I have girls from a size 8 to a size 22.

Ladies there is always one in every bunch. I had one of my bridesmaids tell me that she didn't like the jewelry I choose. She wanted her jewelry to be noticed and went as far as telling me that she bought something else. I kindly told girlfriend that if she still wanted to be in my wedding she had to wear the jewelry I bought. Of course she wore the jewelry I bought. When are people going to realize that they only call the shots at their own wedding, not yours.
